National Multiple Sclerosis Society
Progressive-relapsing multiple sclerosis (PRMS) is the least common of the four disease courses, occurring in approximately five percent of people with MS. Like those with primary-progressive MS (PPMS), people with PRMS experience steadily worsening neurologic function — disease progression — from the very beginning, in addition to occasional relapses like those experienced by people with relapsing-remitting MS.
Because PRMS is progressive from onset, it may be initially diagnosed as PPMS, and then subsequently changed to PRMS when a relapse occurs. Although this disease course is progressive from the outset, each person's symptoms and rate of progression will be different.

Do you know, that not knowing the name your ancestors came over to the new country with makes it very difficult to find them?
I was 36 when I found out that Schell was not my grandmother's original maiden name!! Imagine that!! And, of course, I found this out after she died. Guess that explains why I could not find anything for her prior to 1920, doesn't it?!
Once I found out about the name change, which even my dear old mother never mentioned to me, it was all kinds of fun. NOT!! The name signed on my great-grandfather's naturalization papers was spelled "Shittkowski". Do you know what people can do to a name like that???
I have a listing, on my website, of about 14 or so spellings including Schell, and it makes life so hard! Sometimes I think they did it on purpose!
I could find no birth records, of course, Ohio didn't start requring them until about 1910 or so. Maybe a bit earlier, I don't honestly remember. Anyway, they didn't require them in 1893 when Gram was born. And it's a darn good thing I've got "nose trouble" or I wouldn't have found the paperwork on the name change!
You see, my grandmother was one of 7 living children. And when I was coming up empty on any further information on her and my grandfather, I started digging around with her siblings. And their children... That's when I struck gold!!
Seems that grandma's brother, Herman, had children when they were going through the name change. And on one of the birth certificates, BINGO!! There was the case number for the name change!! You never saw a "fluffy" gal move so fast in a county building as I did that day!!
I beat feet to the probate department, and lo and behold, once we found the film, and I had more information, I was actually holding the original documents in my grubby little paws!! You have no idea how hard it was for me to turn those papers back over to the folks in the file department after I got my copies!!! (My mother told me that my grandmother burned most of my great grandparents papers in the old coal furnace, because she didn't want it to get out or some such.)
But, not only did my grandmother and the rest that were of age, change their last name, but my grandmother and great grandmother, who had both been Wilhelmina, changed, legally, their first names to Minnie. Not only that, but I realized that at that time, in 1918 when they did the name change, my great grandmother could not write. She signed with "her mark" on the papers.
As it turns out, I have found all these variations on this name, but I'm still no further. Sure, I found census records, and all that good stuff, but I still haven't had enough time to check out LDS records for Prussia. That will come in time. But with a surname like this, it's so unusual, it might as well be Smith. Why? With Smith, you have a zillion different ones, and it's almost impossible to figure out which is yours. With Schittkowski (which is the one used most, and yes, I've tried soundex and all the variations), it's so unusual, I can't find anything on it.
Guess ya win some, lose some, but with me, most are rained out...

5 million Galaxy S units sold make it a cash cow for Samsung
And this is exactly what is happening to Samsung with the Galaxy S. Backed up by an extensive marketing campaign on all fronts, the Super AMOLED, 1GHz Hummingbird Android handset has earned some street cred today.
Samsung said that it has sold more than five million units worldwide, two of which in the US, and a million in Korea. Coupled with the successful sales of the bada flagship Samsung Wave, these will surely result in a nice addition to Samsung's bottom line in the Q4 financial report. Moreover, the Galaxy S will be entering the Japanese market later this month, with the Galaxy Tab coming there in November.
You research, innovate, come up with a product to wow consumers, and back it up with extensive marketing campaign to reap the benefits - nothing wrong with old school economics.

Too bad their old school marketing plan didn't include their actual top of the line model (Galaxy S Pro) for anyone but Sprint. wtf is up with that? They decided they can sell 5 million already, so they don't need to try any harder and put out the Pro model?

I have to say that the Galaxy S phones are all pretty solid phones. I was a little afraid when I heard Samsung would be releasing the series to all the cellular providers around the same time. Spread too thin I thought. But it turns out that Samsung did an amazing job at competing with the Android vets HTC and Motorola.

lol. Yea, my vibrant is exellent. You would think though, that with selling so many theyd put more behind software upgrades and not take so damn long!!

As much as I waited and wanted the Fascinate .... Still waiting for Samsung to get rid of that long list of bugs, fix GPS, and get up to date with Froyo. Getting rid of Bing for Google would be nice too, but nit a deal breaker for me.

Analysis: Who Should Be Dell's Next Partner?
Who should Dell next invite to the dance? I've got a few suggestions.
Now that Dell is leading the chorus in singing, "Those slower sales are breaking up that old gang of mine," it is a good time to offer some free advice to Michael, Kevin and the rest of the Round Rock crew on additional potential partners.
This round of free advice springs from two significant recent actions on Dell's part. First, was the announcement that Dell was no longer solely at Intel's beck and call regarding processors.
The second was the announcement by Google CEO Eric Schmidt that Google and Dell had cut a deal.
So, who else should be invited to do the Round Rock electric slide? I have one obvious suggestion, one less obvious and one way out there.
First, is Apple. If you are going to give the customers some choice in processors and give the customers some choice in search engines, how about some choice in operating systems?
Apple is on a roll, but the roll can also be their undoing. Those new Apple laptops running Intel chips are being beat up in the forums for overheating and claims of shoddy manufacturing including this Gizmodo story and photo.
A story over at Engadget claims that Apple is advising laptop users not to use the new MacBook Pros on their laps.
If there is one thing Dell knows how to do, it is manufacturing computers. No one is better at matching supply to demand and getting the box out the door and onto the customer's desk in the configuration they ordered.
If Apple is going to make some serious inroads into the personal computing market, they need a reliable second source which can raise design issues before they become Web banter.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Merger activity amongst technology companies is nothing new. Start-ups are often venture-backed, and very few of them become large enough or profitable enough to pull off an IPO and need to raise enough money to repay their investors. Luckily, for tech entrepreneurs, there are a handful of large acquisitive companies out there. Cisco ( CSCO) has acquired over 100 companies, and Google ( GOOG) has done its fair share of acquisitions as well. Sometimes it's cheaper to purchase a successful business than recreating it oneself. Although they often compete for the same companies, the acquisition strategies of the Internet giants vary. Some companies like to do a lot of acqui-hires (buying companies with the intention of shutting them down, just to get the talent). Others, focus on larger scale billion dollar deals. Sometimes the companies are integrated. Sometimes they remain as standalone companies. Some acquisitions ultimately fail. Companies like Google, Yahoo!, and others all approach deal-making in different ways.

Now is the Time for Scientific Globalization
By Rolf Heuer
I hate to start with a cliché, but sometimes there's no better way: the world is getting smaller. Economic slowdowns notwithstanding, the trend is and has for a long time been towards an increasingly joined-up world in which the different regions hold less and less mystery for more and more people. As with all change, there are those who embrace globalization whole-heartedly, and there are those who reject it. The reality is that there are benefits and drawbacks, and as a society it's the job of all of us to maximise the former and minimise the latter.
Science is without a doubt one of the areas that can profit most from globalization, and that in turn will bring benefit to society. Even in areas that have a long experience of international networking, such as my own field of particle physics, we're on the threshold of a great opportunity to build deeper partnerships and to better organize our resources for the common good. This does not mean that the vast wealth of local and regional science needs to suffer. On the contrary, all science can benefit from increased coordination. Small projects can be done locally, larger ones on a regional basis, while some will require global partnerships from the outset. What's important is that all the research be first-class, that our facilities be open to the free-flow of scientists, and that duplication of effort be kept to a minimum. We should ensure that where the science is worth doing, it is done, while being careful to use resources responsibly.
Since I've taken up my role as Director-General of CERN, I've had many opportunities to work with other labs, and my experience has always underlined my conviction that globalization is right for science. The scientific endeavour is collaborative in nature, and that can serve as a model for other walks of life. Right now at CERN, we are repairing the LHC and making it a better machine. In February this year, we set forth an ambitious plan for getting the machine up and running this autumn. In the meantime, the amount of work that has been done far exceeds what I imagined would have been possible back in February. That's happened thanks to the unprecedented level of support that CERN is receiving from other labs, notably Fermilab, in preparing the LHC for a restart later this year. And that in turn is due to the long-standing partnerships the world's particle physics laboratories enjoy.
The LHC work is a very obvious and immediate benefit to CERN, but what I have in mind goes further than simply helping out in time of need. It was recently my privilege to chair the peer review committee on the Canadian TRIUMF Laboratory's new five-year plan. I found the experience most rewarding, and a valuable learning opportunity. TRIUMF's plan sees the lab building through partnership on what it has already achieved. Modern laboratories thrive on partnerships, both around the world and across sectors. We at CERN know all about TRIUMF's commitment to international partnership through the LHC. What the five-year review has allowed me to learn is how the same approach can bear fruit in other areas of our laboratories' work, exploiting the undoubted synergies that exist between our unique, yet complementary facilities. CERN's ISOLDE and many of the facilities at TRIUMF are world-class in their own right, but together they're even stronger.
Globalization is nothing new for particle physics. My field has always worked globally. When CERN was established in the 1950s, the Brookhaven laboratory was CERN's natural American partner and competitor. Competition was fierce, though not in the traditional sense of the word. Then as now, our objectives were shared and although each lab wanted to be first, the overriding goal was generating knowledge and innovation for the common good. Back then, when Brookhaven scientists developed a new beam-focusing technique, their instinct was to share it with CERN. The result was that our 10 GeV proton synchrotron (PS) became a 25 GeV machine. When the PS started up 50 years ago, Hildred Blewett from Brookhaven even came to CERN to help us commission it. In return, her European experience traveled back with her to Brookhaven, which was just about to commission its own proton synchrotron, the AGS. After the PS and the AGS came a series of competing, yet complementary facilities on both sides of the Atlantic. By the time we reached the end of the 80s and CERN's LEP machine was running, the size of the collaborations had grown to the extent that one young CERN scientist was inspired to invent a new communication tool: the World Wide Web. And it's no accident that the first American web site was put up by CERN's stiffest US competitor at the time, the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. So yes we're in competition, but it's a healthy competition that benefits us all–regardless of where the discoveries and technological advances are made.
There has always been a healthy exchange of particle physicists between the Americas, Asia, and Europe. Particle physicists from around the world have always been welcome at any laboratory with the infrastructure needed for their research. With the LHC, however, this exchange has reached a new level. Just as before, CERN maintains an open door policy and we have over 100 nationalities in our user community. Although originally a European project, the LHC is becoming the global focus for particle physics, and it is safe to assume that future projects of a similar scale will be conceived as global from the start, wherever they end up being built.
To prepare for this future, the CERN Council has established a working group on the geographical and scientific enlargement of CERN. This is, in my opinion, a necessary step for Europe to redefine its role on the global stage. The group will pave the way for CERN to play the role it was created for–coordinating fundamental particle physics research in Europe, and representing Europe on the world stage. In another development, the world's funding bodies for particle physics have been holding regular meetings for several years now.
It is processes like these that will allow our field to remain healthy on all levels. And what is true for particle physics is, I believe, true for science as a whole. The future of science will be healthiest if there are strong national, regional and global projects, all coordinated on a global scale. Today, globalization is a fact of life, and the scientific community can set an example showing the benefit of working together.

Coming off a well-deserved three days' rest, the Oklahoma Sooners (6-1) will travel to Fayetteville to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks (3-3) Tuesday evening. It will be the Sooners 6th road game so far—they are 4-1 on the road in the early stages of the season. That's as many wins as they Sooners has all of last season when they finished 4-11 away from home.
Tuesday night's matchup is much more than just a road game however, it could end up being a measure for just how good Oklahoma can be. Though 6-1, the Sooners have yet to prove themselves and earn a marquee win. A win on the road against a talented Razorback bunch would certainly be the type of statement that could thrust them back into the national limelight.
On the flip side, a struggling Arkansas squad also needs a win in a big way. Having dropped three straight games, the most recent at home to Syracuse, a win here could get the Razorbacks back on track. That Syracuse win was an anomaly too; nothing ever comes easy in Bud Walton arena, where the Razorbacks went 17-4 last season.
Oklahoma has won seven of the past nine matchups with the Razorbacks.
Spooky Similarities
Tuesday night is important to both teams for different reasons, but other than that the two foes are near facsimiles of each other. Once annual juggernauts finishing near or at the top of their conference and almost always locks for the tournament, both have since fallen into a rut. Now they are mediocre, middle of the pack teams, neither having made the dance since 2008-2009.
In the 2011 offseason, Oklahoma gave way to the pressure, firing head coach Jeff Capel and hiring Lon Kruger. In the same offseason, Arkansas fired John Phelpry and hired Mike Anderson in an effort to revive the program. Now, with both coaches entering their second seasons, the vibe around the programs to enter the season is primarily upbeat, and there's a feeling that both could make turnarounds.
There are even resemblances on the court. Both teams appear to have tremendous depth, being able to go eight or even nine deep without skipping a beat. Fatigue is rarely a factor for these two squads. Eight players average 15 or more minutes for the Razorbacks and Lon Kruger regularly rotates 10 guys for the Sooners.
Tuesday evening could serve as a barometer for the progress of the two rebuilding programs. Is one farther along than the other?
Sooner to Watch: Steven Pledger
Pledger is the leading returning scorer in the Big 12 this season, averaging 16.2 PPG last season. However, the senior has struggled to find his mojo so far this year. Pledger's numbers have taken a hit, and he is averaging just 10.1 PPG through seven games and shooting a less efficient percentage from three. However, he has a habit of stepping up in big road games. His career high of 38 points came in an overtime win against Iowa State in Ames in his sophomore season. Being a senior, he might see an increased role down the stretch as the Sooners lean on experience to close out the game. With Mike Anderson's style of play should allow for lots of transition threes, an area Pledger excels in. If his shot is falling it could be a big scoring night for Pledger, and just the type of game he needs to get out of his slump.
Razorback to Watch: B.J. Young
Young is a guaranteed threat to score. His propensity for getting to the rim more than makes up for his lackluster shooting ability, and he can go for 20+ on any given night. He already has done so thrice this season, including a 29 point outburst in a loss to Arizona State, in which he shot 12-24 from the floor. The entire offense revolves around him. If Oklahoma can hold him under 20, a win is more likely, but that's easier said than done.
Other Razorbacks:
Marshawn Powell- Returning from injury last season, Powell is making an impact in the paint so far this year. He's averaging 13.3 points and 5.5 rebounds through six games and is shooting 46.7% from the field. He is outsized by the OU bigs, standing at only 6-foot-7, so the Sooners should take advantage of that and attack the glass for the boards.
Mardracus Wade- Probably the biggest threat to score from three, Wade can fill it up too if he gets it going. He is one of seven players averaging between 8.2 and 5.2 points for Arkansas.
Coty Clarke- Rotnei Clarke is playing for Butler now, but in comes Coty. Clarke's role on this team is the sixth man. He comes in off the bench to provide the extra punch needed, averaging 82. Points and 6.8 rebounds a contest.
Rashad Madden- Explosive guards. The Razorbacks are full of em'. Madden is no exception, he is athletic and can finish at the rim. His only knock is that he is somewhat inconsistent, but that could just come with being a young player. Nevertheless, you never know when he is going to have a good game and he should be watched.
Hunter Mickelson- Standing at 6-foot-10, Mickelson looks to pose the biggest threat to the Sooners down low. Despite his height, he only grabs 2.5 boards per game this season, but is a glass cleaner and averaged 2.2 BPG last year.
"40 minutes of Hell"
The Razorbacks will look to implement their infamous "40 minutes of Hell" gameplan against Oklahoma. Basically this style of play has one rule: run. Arkansas will look to run at every chance they get and no matter how small that window of opportunity is. They will create fast break opportunities for themselves and will hope to wear down the Sooners with their speed.
Despite continuously running, the Razorbacks are one of the most efficient teams in the country in controlling the ball, ranking 10th in the entire NCAA in turnovers with just 10.5 per game. The fast pace doesn't bode so well for opposing teams however, as Arkansas forces 18.7 turnovers from its opponents, good for 11th in the nation.
Disappearing Act
One interesting fact about the Razorbacks is that they seem to perform better in the first half than in the second. Their 43.3 PPG in the first half ranks second in the country, but in the second half they average only 39, dropping them to 63rd. Overall Arkansas ranks 16th in scoring with 82.2 PPG, however, they also give up 73.7 points a contest.
Three Keys to a Sooner Victory
-Force Jumpers: Arkansas is not a good jump shooting team. They prefer the much easier tactic of taking the ball inside for a dunk or a layup, and it's no wonder—they shoot an atrocious 26% from three. If the Sooners can limit transition opportunities and cause the Razorbacks to take a lot more jumpers, it could be the difference between a win and a loss.
–Win the Rebounding Battle: The Sooners have either tied or won the rebounding battle in each of their six wins this season. When they are winning the battle of the boards, they are winning the game too. Oklahoma should be able to take advantage of a rather undersized (with the exception of Mickelson) Razorback squad. If Romero Osby (7.1 RPG) and Amath M'Baye (6.9 RPG) continue to play phsyical the Sooners will outrebound Arkansas.
–Good Transition Offense: This one could actually bode well for the Sooners, who have struggled in the half court this season. Playing the Razorbacks, it's inevitable that you are going to have fast break opportunities, so you might as well take advantage of them. The trick is going to be taking care of the ball, and finishing the transition buckets. By doing this the Sooners will put themselves in a better position to win.

USACM considers Privacy and Security to be interlinked. The idea that one must give up privacy for security or vice versa ignores how good privacy practices can help establish good security, and how good security can help protect privacy. The rash of data breaches over the last several years represents failures in protecting both privacy and security.
Preserving privacy and security is more than implementing best practices. From the design of systems through their implementation and operation it is critical to keep both security and privacy in mind. Any personal data used in a large computing system needs to be stored, collected and managed appropriately throughout its use. Computing security involves not just protection against anticipated threats, but monitoring for possible threats (from within and without), physical protection, access controls, and both individual and corporate accountability for security and its failure

2013 South Dakota Pheasant Hunting Season Outlook Forecast Report -Nesting Season
May 30, 2013 by Chris Hitzeman
As usual the weather is neither predictable nor ho-hum in the state of South Dakota when it comes to pheasant nesting or farming.
As of my last writing we would find the state still in the grips of a severe drought and yet also catching April snows like never before. The ground just ate those snows up like crazy with no benefit to dugouts levels or pothole or creek levels as all the moisture went into the ground with little to no runoff.
As of this writing I see the May totals for rainfall in our county with 7+ inches where the average is about 3. This is good though because the area potholes are still bone dry and pheasants have not begun hatching as of yet.
Pheasants should be in the peak of nest building and more likely are in the egg laying process which can run about 20 days. Once all eggs are laid the hens will begin stting on nests and incubating the eggs which should be in process now. Chicks usually begin hatching around Fathers Day in June as the annual hatch average.
Biologists will tell you that high moisture levels in winter or in summer are not favorable for pheasants. Iowa has sustained recently heavy heavy rainfall amounts. South Dakota has also had healthy rainfall and it is undetermided whether these amounts are detrimental to pheasant nesting. I will tell you that moisture is needed for insect production and insects are crucial to feeding the new broods for the first two months or their lives. The potholes remain mostly empty now and make for good utilization by pheasants.
If we sustain cooler temps and these high levels of rainfall into the peak hatch season this will no be favorable for pheasants. But in the case of South Dakota coming off historic drought conditions there could be an offset for the rainfall amounts.

Telly actress Pratyusha Banerjee, who hosts the crime saga 'Savdhaan India', perhaps draws inspiration from Kareena Kapoor's look in 'Bodyguard' for her styling in the show.
Pratyusha Banerjee
Sources from the production house say that her look is exactly how Kareena dressed up in ethnic wear for the film. Looks like the designer is a Bebo fan.
I think the clothes on TV stilisti.A care that you follow or anyone else imitates someone is not at all important.It is important to check that what they are for job-acting, manager, etc..Do not waste your time, unimportant things because you might, impersonate someone, and who better watch out for his job, and will also be of higher quality, regardless of whose clothes your looks!!!
Ask for journalist:Will wet suit be good?

Years of scientific research have been lost as a result of Hurricane Sandy, the New York Daily News reported. Disaster struck when the New York University hospital lost power in a storm, causing delicate research samples that needed to be kept at specific temperatures, such as DNA strands, to be destroyed.
Scientists are now in a desperate frenzy to save what they can, with some even rolling a massive freezer into an area of NYU's hospital that still has emergency power, an anonymous source told the Daily News. Worse is that thousands of mice that were used by scientists for cancer research and other experiments drowned during the flood. The mice had been genetically modified for the experiments, and it took years to produce them.
More from GlobalPost: When the BRICs Crumble
NYU's hospital lost power shortly after Superstorm Sandy struck Monday night. When backup generators failed, the Manhattan hospital evacuated 300 patients. But the cells, tissues and animals were left to die. "It's so horrible, you don't even want to think about it," Michelle Krogsgaard, a cancer biologist at NYU's Smilow Research Center, told ABC News. "All the work we did, all the time and money, we're going to have to start all over."
The hospital is among the best research facilities in the country, but did not prepare to evacuate during the storm, RT.com reported.
Scientists told LiveScience that the consequences for medical research could reach far beyond just NYU.

The federal government said more domestic oil refining plants might fold but it was not expecting the closure of facilities to impact Australia's ability to secure sufficient oil supplies over the medium term.
Resources and Energy Minister
In the paper, Mr Ferguson said demand for petroleum products would increasingly be met by increased imports threatening the viability of the local refining industry.
"Australian refineries will face continued pressure from international competitors and there may be further reductions in Australia's domestic refining capacity," said Mr Ferguson. "At least until the middle of this decade it is forecast that there will be a surplus of refining capacity in the Asian region; however, Australia should continue to monitor market developments."
However, the White Paper added Australia was linked into global supply chains and import dependency should not imply an energy security threat.
Earlier this year, Royal Dutch Shell closed Clyde, Australia's oldest existing refinery, on the rise of mega-refineries in the Asian region where a surge of new capacity has depressed margins in the industry. The move brought into doubt the future of the oil giant's larger Geelong refinery.
The closure of the 79,000-barrel-a-day Clyde unit has cut the number of remaining plants in Australia to six and raised questions over the long-term profitability of the country's small, ageing refineries, which convert oil into products including petrol, diesel and kerosene.
Plans for the conversion of Clyde into a fuel import terminal are also well under way as part of a $50 million overhaul.
The government said it was also eager to encourage the commercial development of transport fuels, particularly if oil prices continue to trade at high levels.
"While this will be market driven and will emerge over time, it makes sense to examine market or regulatory barriers that might impede commercial outcomes," Mr Ferguson said.

26 February 2012
HBO featured two of the top young American fighters in Adrien Broner and Devon Alexander. They both won in impressive fashion. So what's next for these fighters?
Adrien Broner
Adrien Broner stopped Eloy Perez at 2:24 of the fourth round to retain his WBO junior lightweight title. Broner (23-0, 19 KO's) was clearly the bigger man from and used his size and speed to dominate Eloy Perez. Perez, now (23-1-2, 7 KOs) is no slouch. This is a quality win over a quality opponent. With two straight rights the landscape at junior lightweight is once again changing.
It is still to be seen whether Broner is going to move in to 135 where there are many fights to be made. There may be no reason to stay at 130. The remaining top fighters in the division have little name recognition (Takashi Uchiyama and Juan Carlos Burgos anyone?).
Remember, the lightweight division is stacked: Juan Manuel Marquez, Brandon Rios, Gamboa etc. However, I see Broner and his team, who have been conservative so far in his young career, to defend his title once more or take a relatively easier fight while moving up.
Possible upcoming opponents: (135) John Molina, (135) Ricky Burns, (135) Vincente Escobedo, (130) Roman Martinez, (130) Juan Carlos Burgos.
Devon Alexander
Devon Alexander made his debut at 147 a successful one with a 10-round UD over Argentine slugger Marcos Maidana. Alexander, fighting in his hometown St. Louis, improved to (23-1, 13KO's) while Maidana is now 31-3.
Alexander has now won two straight matches against Argentine fighters since his first loss at the hands of Timothy Bradley.
Alexander looked terrific at 147lbs. While I was impressive by Alexander's handling of Maidana. I wouldn't be so excited about his neutralization of Maidana's power. Remember, they are both essentially still JWW fighting at a higher weight class.
Many think that Alexander will be fighting for a welterweight belt soon. The easiest route will be the WBA Vyacheslv Senchenko (who has an April 29th defense against Paulie Malignaggi) or the recently vacated IBF, by Andre Berto, Mike Jones vs. Randall Bailey winner (scheduled for June 9th). There is also a nightmare scenario fight in my mind: a Timothy Bradley rematch.
Possible upcoming opponents: Vyacheslv Senchenko, Paulie Malignaggi, Mike Jones, Randall Bailey, Timothy Bradley.

Sony Xperia ion launches – already down to $50
0. phoneArena posted on 24 Jun 2012, 19:21
Well that was fast. You probably already checked out our review earlier today of the new Sony Xperia ion. As we previously reported, this Android powered handset from Sony launched today on AT&T for $99 with...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

its really not bad a phone but bigger names like HTC samsung and apple will kill it in sales. Need to market it right.
2. Birds (Posts: 1171; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
I like this phone a lot but I don't know about the camera on it. I don't care what the reviews say. The camera on the Xperia S is so-so and I can vouch for that myself. The samples I've seen from this device on this site are also disappointing. Honestly, the camera is the part of the phone I use the most and I need a good camera. I still think it is a good buy though.

At least this one doesn't have that cheap acryllic tacky glow bar. The thick and square design and curved back is very ugly and not good to hold. In fact, it looks EXACTLY like the cheap remote that came with my bargain bin Vizio TV. Remove the buttons, slap a screen on there, voila! The square and flat profile with the excessive curve on the back are not a good ergonomic combination. Why is Sony using this same exact design on EVERY SINGLE one of their phones? Even Samsung phones look slightly different from each other. Sony probably misplaced their design team under a seat cushion and is just resizing the current design using MS Paint. Also considering Sony is suppose to be such a top LCD maker, why do all their screens look so terrible, with very poor viewing angles and strange colors and oversharpness? Coupled with umimpressive 12MP camera, choppy video, choppy UI performance even though it's suppose to be minimalist and dual-core, poor battery life, etc., why would you get this phone even if it is on sale for cheap? You can get older models like the Galaxy S II or the Nitro or the Razr for equivalent or cheaper price.

Talk about being cynical. Sony has some of the best designs around.
7. BabyWade (Posts: 43; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
After reading the review the Xperia Ion is no longer a phone that I would consider buying, thought Sony would at least spice it up a little bit. Hope the GX comes out soon.

Philosophy Intersections
Recent Intersections:
Where is Here?: Performing on the Stage of Place
Dr. Paul Edwards, Professor of Communication and Theatre.
February 2nd, 2012
What are we talking about in contemporary American life when we refer to "a sense of place," or when we speak of the uniqueness of a particular location? Is place primarily defined by geography, utility, individual perception or community standards? When we speak of our place, what does the word mean – home, space, dwelling, sense of self, ideal or something else? The sense of place in real life can be a matter of design, much like a set for a stage play or a location in a film; it also can have more to do with perception by an individual or a group, than with any kind of external realism.
If the sense of place doesn't necessarily mesh with the perception of one or more of its inhabitants, might that not result in a sense of dis-location? If so, what is to be done about that? Dr. Paul Edwards promises to confront these questions and more by setting a discussion of place within the disciplines of communication, theatre and performance studies.

March 8th, 2012
This student-led roundtable conversation will discuss the "Praxis Project" from Dr. John Hausdoerffer's PHIL 335: Ethics course. In this project, students experimented with the philosophical integrity of moral theory through diverse, community-based projects. Praxis is a process that merges theory and action. This process enhances the philosophical pursuits of ethics and epistemology. Ethically, praxis explores the responsibility to put ideas into practice, and to apply, complicate, and enliven concepts of "the good life." Epistemologically, praxis examines the extent to which actions inform or distract from philosophical ways of knowing. For these students, praxis pushed them beyond academic questions, allowing them to enact a sense of urgency about community problems and to confront frustrations with the limits of ethical analysis in a classroom setting.

This student-led presentation of discussion and performances will explore how space can be implied, defined and represented through music. In some instances, the literal use of space through live performance serves to heighten a second, implied definition of space within the music. Through the text or thematic material of a piece, composers may define space geographically as either a general or specific location. Music may also suggest space in terms of size, isolation, or in how we perceive sound.

Olympic History – 10 Things the Olympic Games Have Made Popular: 3D Printing
Stratasys (SYSS) has good reason to trumpet the role that 3D printing played in the 2012 Summer Games — everything from customized running shoes to prosthetics and models of the Olympic stadium. After all, along with other 3D printing industry leaders like 3D systems (DDD), it's making a concerted effort to take 3D printers into the consumer mainstream.
Even while manufacturers struggle with challenges like expensive hardware, long print times and costly plastics, 3D printing has taken off at the commercial level, and the Olympics has helped to popularize the technology.
Shoemakers in particular are leveraging what they learned during the Olympics and making the most of commercial 3D printing technology to churn out sports shoes that are lighter, more specialized and faster to market than ever.
For a good example of how 3D printing is reshaping the sports shoe market, check out the 3D-printed cleats on the Nike (NKE) Vapor Carbon shoes worn by NFL players at Superbowl — and available in stores.

This morning, over at the South Dakota Traveler blog, there was a post about last minute opportunities for 4th of July weekend getaways. It got me curious as to whether or not "out-of-town" folks could still make reservations here in the hills this weekend on such short notice.
For those of you who have put off making 4th of July plans – Good News! There"s still space available. Some area campgrounds and hotels do still have vacancies and they"re itching to fill those spaces. So, it"s time to get, while the getting"s good.
Hotels and resorts throughout the region have available rooms listed on the Black Hills Vacations website. In addition to lodging, you can also book tickets to attractions, park entrance fees or entire vacation packages through their site. It"s a great resource for last minute bookings, especially since you have the option to pick up the phone and actually talk to a if you have questions that aren"t answered on the site.
If you"re more of the camping type, there are just a handful of state park camping spots still available, but some of the private camping areas like Palmer Gulch Resort might be able to accommodate you as well.
Palmer Gulch, just south of Hill City, has been hosting Black Hills visitors for decades and helping them enjoy all that the region has to offer. Just minutes from both Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse, Palmer Gulch is a great place to set up a base camp for your 4th of July weekend visit to the hills.
The weather is forecast to be beautiful and there are a ton of excellent Independence Day celebrations taking place. Gas prices are affordable and it"s a three-day weekend. The Black Hills are nice and green and the wildlife is lively.
That should about cover it – you should be almost out of reasons "why you can"t visit" this 4th of July weekend. So, go ahead, book one of the still available places to stay and get thee to them thar hills!

Lomopedia: Kodak Instamatic 1002013-07-12 1 3 Share Tweet
The Kodak Instamatic 100 was introduced in March 1963 and was produced until 1966. A fairly basic camera, it uses the 126 film cartridge developed by Eastman Kodak as an answer to consumer complaints about the difficulties of loading film.
While not the first Instamatic camera to be introduced, the basic Instamatic 100 was the first model released in the United States in 1963. Similar to the Kodak Brownie, the Instamatic had a fixed shutter speed, aperture and focus, making it a simple, fool-proof camera that anyone can use.
Technical Specifications:
- Film: 126 film cartridge
- Lens: 43mm f/11 acrylic lens
- Shutter speed: 1/90, 1/40 (with flash)
- Flash: AG-1 peanut flashbulb; 2x AAA
- Tripod mount: None
Read more about the Kodak Instamatic 100 over at shutterbug,com, Camerapedia and the George Eastman House Technological Archive.

Maybe you glued your intestined together with the SEVEN DOZEN donuts?
Adam, a body doesn't get in this bad of shape in a matter of weeks .... PERIOD.
Last summer, you fruit fasted, you did the herbal recommendations. For pete's sake, you were hiking in the mts before wife cut you off. THEN you lemon water fasted for about a month, down to 118#, so you told me. All of that, your colon was in better shape than it had been in in YEARS. A few weeks in the hospital, and not even SEVEN DOZEN donuts could have caused what you're descibing. I'm right back to attention seeking, and I'm tired of it.

text: Column from an Arizona paper takes a look at the age difference between Utah's players and Arizona's. While the writer doesn't come out and say the Utes have an unfair advantage by using return missionaries, it sure comes close. Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez is quoted on the difference in age as saying, "A lot of people talk about young players being inexperienced but I think the biggest factor is strength," he said. "You're not as strong when you're 18 or 19 as you are when you're 22, 23, or 25." This certainly isn't a new thought, that Utah or BYU or other teams that have many return missionaries on their teams have an advantage in age, but I'd say there can be just as many misses as there are hits. Sometimes players return and they just aren't at the same level or can't get back to the same level as they were before they left. Serving missions isn't exactly like attending a two-year weight lifting camp after all. Sometimes players go on missions and never return at all as they head to another program or maybe give up the sport altogether. The Utes may have an advantage when it comes to strength in older players, but is it enough to translate to a win on Saturday? Is Rodriguez doing a little too much pre-game whining? - Lya Wodraska

Socialite Paris Hilton has reportedly been asked to play celebrated humanitarian Mother Teresa in a movie biopic
Partygoer Paris Hilton again shocks public worldwide with the just circulating rumors mention that she's been asked by Indian director T. Rajeevnath to play the humble and generous humanitarian Mother Teresa.
It is said that Rajeevnath has contacted the socialite concerning the lead role in his upcoming film, which will chronicle the late nun's life.
"My agents in California have contacted Paris Hilton. Although there are several actresses willing to play the role of Mother Teresa, the most widely respected and loved person, the history of the actress who is finally chosen for the role would have to be analyzed thoroughly before she is chosen." So said the director to MTV.co.uk.

Theorising the European Neighbourhood Policy: Debordering and Rebordering in the Mediterranean
This paper discusses recent developments in Euro-Mediterranean relations following the establishment of the European Neighbourhood Initiative (ENP) and attempts to put these empirical insights into theoretical perspective. By relating selected elements of the theory of world society - in conjunction with other constructivist approaches in IR - to the analysis of Euro-Mediterranean relations, this paper aims to contribute to the discussion on the extent to which the ENP offers real integration between the EU and its southern neighbours or whether the ENP can rather be seen as (yet another) case of window-dressing in Euro-Mediterranean relations. By way of providing an answer to this question, this paper proceeds in three steps, thus discussing the ENP in relation to three selected theoretical concepts, namely 'debordering/rebordering', 'regionalisation', and 'inclusion/exclusion'.

The Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon
|A combination of field surveys, airborne mapping, and high-resolution satellite imaging have determined that small clandestine operations now make up more than half of all gold mining activities in the Western Amazonian forests of Peru.
The authors discovered hundreds of new small mines in the foothills in the headwater region of the Colorado, Inambari, and Malinowski Rivers.
|While the total land loss in Madre de Dios appears small compared to other tropical regions undergoing deforestation, the study emphasized that "Madre de Dios is world-renowned for its unusually high biological diversity."

Robert Kane says he is alive today because of Sunnybrook's leading research in stroke prevention, treatment and rehabilitation
In 2004, a clot-busting drug lessened the damage to Robert Kane's brain after he suffered a stroke. It was the second time tPA (tissue plasminogen activator) had given him a second chance at life.
The first was in June 1987 when Robert was just 37. After a major heart attack, he was given the then-experimental drug, saving his life.
Despite dieting, quitting smoking and a new interest in cycling, he suffered two more heart attacks on the August long weekend in 1996. The first hit him at work, the second in the hospital three days later. In early 1997 he received quadruple bypass surgery to remove blockages in four of his arteries.
That brings us back to January 2004, when he was hit by an intense headache at work. He was taken to Sunnybrook, where he was greeted by a stroke team neurologist and offered tPA.
"I said, 'Well, say no more,'" he laughs. "Go ahead."
The drug – which dissolves blood clots – induced blood flow back into Robert's brain, preventing more brain cells from dying. It must be given to patients intravenously within about three hours of a stroke to be most effective, and reduce the chances of serious bleeding in the brain.
"I certainly have been lucky," Robert says. "I have been in the right place at the right time, every time."
He credits Dr. Sandra Black – an internationally renowned stroke expert – and her team for his amazing recovery. His speech was only minimally affected, though he had to relearn how to move his left side and to walk. By June 2004, just months after he was stricken, he could walk again and actually cycled 50 kilometres in the Heart & Stroke Foundation's Ride for Heart. Today, the 62-year-old is back working full time as a salesman for a high-end appliance company, and still an avid cyclist. In 2011, he and one of his sons rode from Toronto to Algonquin Park – a 300-kilometre trip.
"He has had his ups and downs, but he still has a very enjoyable life. He almost died, but there are plenty of stories like that, people who do really well after stroke," Dr. Black says.
Sunnybrook can take credit for many of those amazing stories. The hospital has a long history of focusing on research, driven by the clinical needs of a high volume of stroke patients, says Dr. Rick Swartz, medical director of the North-East-GTA Regional Stroke Program and a clinician-scientist with the Brain Sciences program who specializes in strokes in young people. Spurred by Dr. Black's legacy of stroke research, Sunnybrook has a strong culture of innovation and new discoveries, Dr. Swartz adds, and stroke is one of the hospital's strategic areas of focus.
"We have plenty of patients and plenty of need so we have a connection between the bedside and the science."
He says Sunnybrook is also a research heavyweight because of its collaborative approach. The hospital has partnerships with leading brain scientists worldwide and with clinics dedicated to a variety of disciplines. In July of 2012, for example, the hospital merged with St. John's Rehab in nearby North York. The two institutions are intertwined as a single health-care organization that provides seamless care for patients, including stroke, cancer and burn victims. The merger means stroke patients will receive acute care at Sunnybrook and intensive rehab to help recovery at St. John's.
Because stroke is such a prevalent disease (about one stroke occurs every 10 minutes in Canada), there is an impetus to improve prevention and recovery rates. The disease is estimated to cost the Canadian economy $3.6-billion a year.
Sunnybrook began building its foundation for stroke innovation and care in the 1970s, Dr. Black says. It became the first Canadian hospital with a designated stroke unit, consisting of five electrocardiography-monitored beds. Many ground-breaking observational and treatment studies were conducted at that time, which helped establish the centre's recognition as a stroke leader. For example, a clinical trial showed administering stroke patients an intravenous steroid was actually harmful, leading to the practice to be abandoned worldwide.Report Typo/Error

After Target Free Tuesdays proved to be a little too popular and generated patience-trying crowds, the folks at the Glazer Children's Museum in Tampa have revamped the program. Now there will be a $2 admission fee for everyone over the age of 1, and the hours have been extended. The special admission starts at 2 p.m. (instead of 4). In case you're wondering, the museum will still offer free tickets to low-income children selected from various programs.
That area of downtown Tampa should be kid central, because it's also time again for Playing in the Park, a free gathering that encourages kids to get off the couch and exercise. There will be plenty of activities to get kids moving in Curtis Hixon Park, plus free healthy snacks and live music for the "cool down." The action starts at 4:30, and families are encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy the park. Curious about this? Meet the woman behind the idea.
Whether you love People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals or hate the group, there's no denying they can use some outrageous stunts and campaigns to get people's attention about animal abuse. Dan Mathews, PETA vice president and architect of some of the more notable campaigns — including the legendary "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" — will be speaking at USF's Marshall Student Center at 7 p.m. about a proposed Florida Senate bill that would outlaw the photographing of animals on farms. The big question: Will he dress as a cow like he's done before?
Heads up, baseball fans: The Rays have moved weeknight game times to 6:40 (from the previous 7:10) for April and May, apparently to capture some school night fans who might otherwise think the game would keep them out too late. They face the Los Angeles Angels, manager Joe Maddon's former team.
Leave it to the folks of Red Bull drinks to tap into all of that nervous energy with something called a Tum Tum Pa competition. Think Lady Gaga meets Stomp as a team of four uses pencils, pens, notebooks, staplers and other office implements to bang out a rhythm on a desk top, set to a popular song. The zany action takes place at Gray's College Bookstore in Tampa at 3 p.m. Watch a video to get a feel for how it works.

Social Security has always had its rabid opponents. Alf Landon, the 1936 Republican presidential nominee, called President Roosevelt's new Social Security program "unjust," "a fraud on the working man," and "a cruel hoax" that would leave retirees with nothing but "roll after roll of neatly executed IOUs."
Alf Landon was wrong. But he at least had an excuse for his wrongness: he had never seen Social Security in action. Today's Social Security opponents have no such excuse.
After 77 years, Social Security has compiled an overwhelming record of success. Its payments are modest, averaging only $1,265 per month, but for about 13 million seniors, such an amount is the difference between poverty and sufficiency. And notwithstanding claims to the contrary, the program remains on reasonably sound financial footing, as I have described before.
Yet opponents such as Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, want to slash Social Security by changing the rate at which benefits adapt to inflation. Sen. McConnell claims that something called "chained CPI" is a more accurate measure of inflation -- ignoring evidence that most seniors experience higher inflation levels than measured under current law, due to their disproportionate use of high-cost-growth services such as health care.
While Social Security's foes might prefer to couch their proposals in bureaucratic phrases about inflation indexes, big words can't hide hard truths: this plan would mean a cut for America's seniors, one that would eliminate benefits that they have earned and depend on, one that would cut the average benefit by $16,000 over a 25-year retirement.
Troublingly, President Obama, in an effort to reach political compromise, has included similar Social Security cuts in his proposed 2014 budget. Not only is it bad strategy to concede to your opponents' demands before even sitting down at the negotiating table, but the President is flatly wrong to use seniors' earned benefits as a bargaining chip.
I already have written the President to oppose these cuts to Social Security, and I will strongly oppose his plan in Congress.
A better way forward is the Protecting and Preserving Social Security Act, which I have cosponsored. It would bring Social Security's revenue back into line with historic norms by increasing the wage base that pays into the social insurance program, and it would adopt a more sensible inflation index that recognizes that seniors' costs generally rise faster than the costs faced by younger families.
Honoring Those Who Have Served
From 1952 to 1954, Gerald Graff served in the Medical Aid Battalion of the U.S. Army in the Korean War, providing front-line aid to wounded soldiers.
Later, he built a life beyond his military service. He attended NYU on the GI Bill, which he credits for providing higher education that he could not otherwise have afforded. He raised a family and settled down in Somerset -- and somewhere along the way, he lost the medals he had earned in service to his country.
Recently, Mr. Graff reached out to me hoping to obtain duplicate decorations that he could pass along to his grandchildren. I had the honor of visiting him in his neighborhood to present him with the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Service Medal with 2 Bronze Service Stars, and the United Nations Service Medal.
If you or someone you know is also due a military medal or award, please contact me so that our nation may properly honor those who have served.
Medicine Based on Evidence, Not Ideology
Policy should be based on evidence and analysis, not ideology. That is why, in 2011, I led a letter to the Obama Administration expressing my disappointment with their decision to overrule career FDA scientists and impose an age restriction on the over-the-counter purchase of emergency contraception.
I was pleased that a federal judge ruled last week that the Administration had acted wrongly in disregarding the scientific study conducted by the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research that found that the product was safe and effective for adolescent females. The court ordered that women of all ages be given the access they deserve to safe reproductive health care.
I have been in touch with the Administration to urge that they allow this sensible decision to stand.

Neil Patrick Harris Is an American Idol Guest Judge
As Paula Abdul moves from American Idol to VH1's divas, new faces are coming in to take her place. So far we've learned that Idol will feature a variety of guest judges, including Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, Shania Twain, and Joe Jonas. And guess who's the latest one to climb into Paula's old seat: Neil Patrick Harris! Fox has confirmed that NPH sat at the judges' table and weighed in on the singers during today's Dallas auditions. Aww!
I love this guy. And it's a good move on Fox's part, since I normally don't enjoy the auditions as much as the live competition. Now, however, I can't wait to tune in to the preliminaries! What do you think? Will it be good to have the former Broadway singer on the judges panel?

Unionists reject police badge design
Unionists have rejected the emblems for the new Police Service of Northern Ireland on the day seven different ideas for designs were published.
The designs use symbols including the flax flower - symbolic of Northern Ireland's history as a linen producer - a bridge and a star.
There is also a heraldic shield design and a St Patrick's Cross emblem.
Neither the crown nor harp used in the old Royal Ulster Constabulary badge are included.
In a letter to the Policing Board, Northern Ireland Security Minister Jane Kennedy said the designs had been drawn up "to assist the board in their consideration of this important matter".
"The board may well have ideas of their own."
The government has said it wants responses to the new proposals by Friday 14 December.
Ulster Unionist peer Lord Kilclooney of Armagh (John Taylor) said as a member of the Policing Board he had been treated with contempt by the secretary of state.
"The secretary of state has pre-empted us and I think he has now made it impossible for the board to reach any agreement on this subject," he said.
Lord Kilclooney said none of the design ideas were acceptable and ran contrary to the Good Friday Agreement.
The Democratic Unionist Party's Ian Paisley Junior said all the designs were "meaningless".
"We have very good symbols as it exists - we have the harp, the crown and indeed the shamrock," he said.
"But all those things are now considered not acceptable and we have the complete ruination of anything British or anything which links the police service to the British connection."
The legislation under which the RUC changed to the Police Service of Northern Ireland this month gives the Policing Board the power to come to an agreement on the new service's emblems.
If the board, which has a membership of ten political and nine non-political representatives, cannot come to agreement, the secretary of state will make the decision.
Neutral working environment
It is also expected to consider proposals regarding how and when flags can fly over Northern Ireland police stations.
Under the Patten recommendations, on which the plans for widespread changes to policing were based, police emblems and stations are to be politically and religiously neutral.
Representatives of three of the four main political parties have seats on the board.
The Ulster Unionist Party, the nationalist SDLP and the Democratic Unionist Party all nominated members to the board in September. Sinn Fein refused to take their seats on the board.
Its chairman is Professor Desmond Rea.
After the police name change on 4 November, the province's Chief Constable Sir Ronnie Flanagan admitted that some of the visual changes to the new service would take time.
Police officers working on the ground are still having to wear their old uniforms and are waiting for their new cap badge to be chosen.
The first batch of between 260-300 Police Service of Northern Ireland trainees - selected on a 50% Catholic, 50% Protestant and others basis - started their training on 4 November. They are also waiting for their first full PSNI uniform.
Sinn Fein North Belfast assembly member Gerry Kelly said: "The Patten Report was very clear and unambiguous on this issue.
"It said: That the Northern Ireland Police Service adopt a new badge and symbols which are entirely free from any association with either the British or Irish states.... that the Union flag should no longer be flown from police buildings.
"The British Government should have dealt with this issue last year when it published the legislation. Despite the unnecessary delay around this issue it should now do so.
"Sinn Fein will make a submission to the British Government on this issue and our benchmark will be the Patten Report recommendations."

Ten years ago it was just a dream, but here we are 10 years later with one completed project.
Eden Reforestation Projects is having another spectacular year of planting trees and saving lives! One of the greatest points of satisfaction follows ten years of effort –
we now know with certainty that our "employ to plant" approach to alleviating extreme poverty through environmental stewardship is not just a tag line. It really works and the completion of the Udo Watate project site proves it. Environmental success stories seem to be a rarity these days and I want to pause and thank all the Eden partners who share the success. Land and lives are being transformed and we couldn't do it without all of you.
We are grateful for what we have achieved, and our donor's support but this didn't end deforestation in all regions of Ethiopia, only you can help us reforest the rest.
Eden has experienced steady financial growth in recent years, but our planting and operational expenses have grown as well. Historically, summertime has proven to be our toughest season financially because vacations and summer projects grab the attention of many of our faithful partners. However, what most people do not realize is that while it is heating up here, the rainy, planting season is taking place in Ethiopia and seedling prep time is beginning in Madagascar. With the goal of avoiding planting interruptions, will you please consider sending in a check or going on-line and making a significant donation this week? We need to make sure that the 3,500 village workers who are planting the 1.4 million trees each month are paid in a timely manner. As you will see in the video update, together, we truly are planting trees and saving lives and I thank you in advance for your help this summer.
Enjoy the video update!
Steve Fitch - President | Founder

Chris Cunningham commented 2014-06-25 19:19:13 -0700This is amazing news. Seeing isn't always believing, but in the case of this Ethiopian village seeing the immense transformation has made all the difference. Keep up the good work guys!

Does Wednesday's date sound familiar? (Maybe if you're Sheena Easton. It's her 52nd birthday. You keep taking that morning train, girl!) Actually it's Administrative Professional's Day. (Or Secretary's Day as it was known back in 1952 when it was conceived by the unfortunately named Harry F. Klemfuss.) Flowers are nice, but what your executive assistant probably would appreciate more is a fancy lunch at a tony eatery. We've done the work for you (no card necessary). Here's a list of restaurants in downtown Tampa and South Tampa. Over in Pinellas, we have lists for Clearwater and downtown St. Petersburg. Last piece of advice: Let them order dessert, too. Mr. Klemfuss would be proud.
This is pricey, but it's for a good cause. Tampa Bay Rays senior adviser Dick Crippen serves as emcee over Dine in the Dark, an event to honor the late Eddie Loebenberg, co-founder of the Florida Holocaust Museum, and Ronald L. Vaughn, president of the University of Tampa. For about 30 minutes, all attendees will don light-blocking blindfolds and eat their entree using only their senses of smell, sound and touch to experience a moment of what it's like to be blind. The event benefits the Foundation Fighting Blindness. It begins at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club, 501 Fifth Ave. NE, St. Petersburg, (954) 308-5555. Tickets are $150.
Everyone deals with stress their own way, but generally speaking, we believe all of life's problems can be solved by one of these two things: wine or ice cream. Thankfully, Wednesday brings us good deals for both. The Lobby Bar and Garden Restaurant in downtown St. Petersburg is hosting its Wine Down Wednesday starting at 5 p.m. For $20, your rumpled soul can heal with all the wine you care to drink along with hors d 'oeuvres like grilled eggplant, blue cheese olive pate and other treats. If it's a more innocent treat you need, then head to participating Baskin-Robbins locations for 31-Cent Scoop Night, which honors American firefighters. It runs from 5 to 10 p.m. Check www.baskinrobbins.com for locations.
If wine and ice cream can't improve your mood, perhaps a little laughter is what you're missing. Catch a local production of William Shakespeare's rollicking comedy Twelfth Night, which begins Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at Ruth Eckerd Hall's Murray Studio Theater. The play follows Viola, a woman shipwrecked in an exotic place who disguises herself as a boy to gain employment. (Sort of like Victor/Victoria but without Julie Andrews and the French cabaret singing). The production continues through May 15. Price: $18 for adults, $10 for students. (727) 791-7400.
We see … we see … a trip to the Don CeSar Beach Resort and Spa in your immediate future. That's if you want to meet Chip Coffey, the star of A&E's Paranormal State and Psychic Kids. The event includes a question-and-answer session, psychic readings and spirit contacts. Because of time constraints, not everyone will receive a reading. (That's okay. We were just going to ask how Michael Jackson and Elvis were getting along.) It's 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, 3400 Gulf Blvd., St. Pete Beach. $49, $99 (VIP), $149 (super VIP). Toll-free 1-888-978-1566.

The world of cloud computing is dominated by Tyrannosaurus Rex-sized corporations like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, big companies that have used their prowess and might to build giant data centers full of racks and racks of machines. Then there's Joyent, a small but nimble competitor that might be called mammal-sized, if only for the sake of a metaphor. It deserves notice for shaking up the cloud marketplace with clever mods of the operating system layer that are producing great results.
The metaphor isn't perfect because the technology here isn't entirely new. Joyent might be called one of the last vestiges of Sun Microsystems. While Oracle ended up with control over Java and the Sun hardware, Joyent embraced OpenSolaris and welcomed some of the experts who knew what made the OS special. The company leveraged this talent to update Solaris and build a cloud that delivers great performance for Java, Node.js, and Docker containers.

Now things really start to get complicated for the Montreal Canadiens.
Head coach Michel Therrien is confirming that not only is his gold medal goalie, Carey Price, not going to start Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final against the New York Rangers on Monday, he's out for the series.
For a team that has had remarkable injury luck throughout the playoffs, it is the cruelest possible blow.
You want to contemplate the worst-case scenario, this is it.
A visibly angry Therrien said of the Game 1 sequence where Price was injured by a falling Chris Kreider, "it's a reckless play, that's the truth. It's not the first time he's gone at goalies."
He also said the team now owes it to their star netminder to extend their playoff run – should they progress to the Stanley Cup final, it's at least theoretically possible that Price will be well enough to play (the exact nature of his right leg injury has not been revealed).
Therrien said the Habs have faced adversity before, and that they've always responded.
"I know our team has a lot of character," he said.
But there's a difference between adversity and the crippling loss of your top player at the worst possible time.
The Rangers have lost 12 straight playoff games after taking the lead in a series. It might be worth making a prop bet on that string ending on Monday.
The only worse thing that could have happened to the Habs – actually never mind, there's nothing worse.
Backup Peter Budaj has never won a playoff start (0-2, with an .843 save percentage), while third-stringer Dustin Tokarski has never played an NHL playoff game.
Tokarski does have a strong track record in the minors (he won the Calder Cup) and in junior hockey (where he won the Memorial Cup and the World Junior Championship), so if Therrien is in the mood for bold gestures, he could go with the 24-year-old Saskatchewan native.Report Typo/Error
