For commissioned ministers, not less than six full-time quarters in residence.For laity, not less than seven full-time quarters in residence.
Course and Professional WorkFor commissioned ministers and laity, a program load of 90 quarter hours of course work, six quarters of field work, and one year of vicarage is required.
Each student is required to take four modules while on campus. These modules cover specific, practical areas of pastoral ministry in four categories: specialized ministries; specialized pastoral care; evangelism and outreach; other topics. Aminimum of one module from each category is required. (No more than two modules may be from any one category.) Modules will ordinarily involve six contact hours, as scheduled by the instructor. No credit will be given for modules, nor will any tuition or fees be charged. Student attendance is required, but there are no reading assignments. Pass/fail grades only will be given.
The Personal Growth Toward Ministry program provides M.Div. and Alternate Route (A.R.) students with the opportunity to assess their strengths and potential growing areas. Students consult with the Advisor on Personal Growth regarding strategies and resources to assist them in refining their pastoral skills and remediate potential obstacles to effective ministry. Each student develops and implements a Personal Growth Program designed to meet his personal and professional needs. Resources available for the Personal Growth Program include meetings with the Advisor on Personal Growth, assessment instruments, individual guidance and Personal Growth groups.

I've finally started some real work on the idea in "An Algorithm for Mapping to Strongs Numbers". The initial need is a structured version of Strong's, indexed by number, with the English definitions accessible. I was able to get the text out of Crosswire's excellent Sword Project, which i highly recommend, using their mod2imp utility. Now i just have to write a little Perl to parse the structure and produce the XML, then i'll be ready for some more integration.
An additional idea this morning was to weight alternative mappings by 1/frequency of terms in the NT corpus: this Zipfian manuver has the effect of giving more strength to infrequent terms, under the intuition that they're likely to be more distinctive and hence less confusable.

Quick glance at the new MBP
The newly released retina-screen MacBook Pro has been an interesting product to me since it was first announced. I have long been a proponent of higher resolution screens for PCs, hoping for the lower cost screens that we are just now finding in the Korean 27-in screen market (like the Achieva Shimian we recently reviewed). When Apple announced a 15-in notebook with a screen resolution of 2880x1800, my hopes were raised that other vendors would take note and duplicate the idea – thereby lowering costs and increasing visual quality for users across the board.
While I didn't have enough time with the retina MacBook Pro to give it a full review, I did spend an afternoon with one that had Windows 7 installed. After getting some benchmarks and games installed I thought I would report back to our readers with my thoughts and initial impressions on the laptop from a PC perspective.
The hardware inside the new retina MacBook Pro includes an Ivy Bridge Core i7-3720QM processor, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M discrete GPU, 512GB Apple-branded solid state drive, USB 3.0, Thunderbolt and of course that impressive 2880x1800 screen.

Introduction and Design
In the wilds of the laptop market, nestled between the hordes of 15.6" mainstream laptops and the slim ultraportables, there is an odd breed. The 14" multimedia laptop. Even describing them as such is limiting because each model seems to offer its own take on the concept. Some are nearly as thin and light as laptops with much smaller displays while others are bulky powerhouses hidden behind a façade of portability.
Lenovo has long been a proponent of the 14-incher in actions if not words. IdeaPads of this size have also been common, usually gracing Lenovo's website as a smaller alternative to a 15.6" laptop with a similar model name.
As a result, absolutely no one was shocked when Lenovo announced the IdeaPad Y480. It's exactly the kind of product most consumers end up buying and exactly the kind of product tech journalists don't care to talk about.
So what's powering this new mid-size laptop? Let's have a look.
Introduction, Driver Interface
There exist a particular group of gamers that are consumed by dreams of gigantic dual-SLI laptops that replace towering desktops. And who can blame them? Walking into a LAN party with a $5,000 laptop under your arm is the geek equivalent of entering a party wearing a $2,500 jacket or driving through your neighborhood in a $250,000 car. We can dream, right?
On the other hand, those super-powerful laptops are a bit...boring from a critic's standpoint. Why? Because they are almost always excellent machines (due to price) and because most readers gandering at a review (of an expensive gaming laptop) I pen about will never buy one – again, due to the price.
Most folks – even many geeks – lust over a beefy gaming rig, but end up buying a $600 to $1000 multimedia laptop. This is the laptop that the average person can actually afford, regardless of his or her enthusiasm about computer hardware.
In the past, this market segment was a gaming wasteland, but that began to change about five years ago. The change was due in part to the fact that many game developers started to veer away from (a focus on) jaw-dropping graphics in favor of expanding their potential markets by going after clients with average/medium-range hardware.
About two and a half years ago Intel (again) committed to raising the bar on integrated graphics with the release of Intel HD and has since consistently improved its IGP offering with each new generation. AMD has done the same with its Fusion products and NVIDIA (already in the game with its numerous x10/x20/x30M products) just recommitted to power efficient GPUs with its Kepler architecture.
These changes mean that "serious" gaming is now possible on an inexpensive laptop. But how possible? What sacrifices do you make and how do low-end IGPs and GPUs stack up against each other?

Introduction, Design, User Interface
This summer is shaping up to be an amazing time to buy a gaming laptop. Intel has launched its Ivy Bridge processors, bringing faster performance to the entire range without increasing power consumption. Nvidia's new Kepler based parts, although technically launched a couple months ago, are only now widely available.
We've already looked at many low-end solutions including Trinity, HD 4000 and the Kepler-based Nvidia GT 640M. We've also looked at one high-end gaming solution in the form of the ASUS G75V.
Today we're reviewing the Origin EON17-S, an obvious competitor to the G75V. It's packing an Nvidia GTX 675M. An Intel Core i7-3920XM joins the party as well. Clearly, this laptop is meant to provide maximum performance - as the other specifications make clear.
Though it has gobs of high-performance hardware our review unit did not arrive with an internal optical drive (it did come with an external Blu-Ray). The drive had been removed and a 1TB hard drive installed in its place. This is a clever bit of packaging that makes a lot of sense and isn't offered by Alienware, Maingear or ASUS. While I know some gamers do still use optical drives, I personally can't remember the last time one was required for install.
Our review unit tallies up at about $3500 bucks, which is expensive but not outrageous. Spending much more is difficult and requires that you either pony up for every frivolous option available or buy Nvidia Quadro graphics cards instead of the consumer-market GTX. Or you can put the price in reverse by downgrading to a Core i7-3610QM, which saves you over $1000.

Introduction, Design, User Interface
In August of 2011 I reviewed the Acer AC700-1099, one of two Chromebooks available in the North American market. The review was almost entirely negative. The hardware wasn't great and the operating system was a bit of a mess–capable of only the most basic tasks.
Since then, the small surge of hype that surrounded the Chrome OS release has receded. You could be mistaken for thinking Google has abandoned it, but they haven't. In typical Google fashion it has been slowly, quietly improved. Performance tweaks have allegedly improved web browsing, a proper file manager has been added and Google has just launched Google Drive, its cloud storage service.
Such enhancements could address a lot of the concerns I had with the Acer rendition. Do they? That's what we're here to find out. Let's start with the basics - what's inside?
The hardware inside the Samsung Series 5 is nearly identical to what was inside the Acer AC700-1099 that we reviewed late last year. We're talking an Atom processor that must rely on its own IGP, two gigabytes of RAM and a tiny–but quick–16GB solid state drive.
While the equipment is the same, the pricing has changed. When we reviewed the Acer Chromebook it was $349.99. That has been slashed to $279.99. The Series 5, which used to be priced at $429, is now sold for just $299.
Let's see if improved software and a lower price can turn Chromebooks into winners.
Introduction, Product Specifications And Line-Up
Earlier this year I penned an editorial about ultrabooks. It wasn't all that nice. I pointed out that they are slow, that they require design sacrifices that not everyone will enjoy and that ultraportables often provide a better experience at the same price or lower.
Since then I've also discovered, through various reviews, that ultrabooks so far have not shown any battery life advantage over ultraportables. The advantage of a low-voltage processor is consistently negated by the smaller batteries squeezed into Intel's thin form-factor.
I'm not on the bandwagon. This, however, should not come as a surprise. It's exceedingly rare for a company, even of Intel's size, to knock a new product out of the park on its first try. The models that released so far were decent products in some ways, but they were also the hardware equivalent of a beta. Intel and laptop manufacturers are now responding to what they've discovered.
This brings us to Ivy Bridge. As I noted in my Ivy Bridge for mobile review, Intel's architectural update seems to be more exciting for laptops than for desktops. The Core i7-3720QM we received in our Ivy Bridge reference laptop was a beast, easily defeating all previous processor benchmarks and also posting surprisingly good results in gaming tests. Despite this, battery life seemed to at least remain the same.

Introduction, Design, User Interface
When Ivy Bridge was released Ryan did a deep-dive and desktop review while I worked on a review of the mobile processor. My mobile review was based on a reference laptop known as the ASUS N56VM. Although considered a "reference platform," the laptop is really a production product and successor to the outgoing ASUS N55. We held off on a full review to provide coverage of the new G75, but now it's time to revisit the N56.
This is an important product for ASUS. The 15.6" laptop remains a sales leader and the N56 will likely be the company's flagship in this arena for the coming year. This means it won't be a high-volume model, but it serve as a "halo product" – an example of what ASUS is capable of. If the company follows its usually modus operandi we'll see this same chassis used as the basis for a number of variations at different price points with different hardware.
As you may remember from our Ivy Bridge for mobile review, the model we received is equipped with a Core i7-3720QM processor. It's hard to say if this is a mid-range quad given the limited number of Ivy Bridge products available so far, but it probably will end up in that role. What about the rest of the system? Well, take a look.

Introduction, Overview
AMD's position is not enviable. Though they're the only large competitor to Intel in the market for x86 processors, the company is dwarfed by the Giant of Santa Clara. As a resident of Portland, I can't forget this fact. Intel offices are strewn across the landscape of the western suburbs, most of them at least four times larger than any office I've worked at.
Despite the long odds, AMD is set in this course for now and has no choice but to soldier on. And so we have today's reference platform, a laptop powered by AMD's latest mobile processor, codenamed Trinity. These processors, like the older Llano models, will be sold as the AMD A-Series. This might lead you to think that it's simply another minor update, but that's not the case.
Llano was released around the same time as Bulldozer, but it did not use Bulldozer cores. Instead it used yet another update of Stars, which is a mobile incarnation of Phenom II, which was of course an improvement upon the original Phenom. The "new" Llano APU in fact was equipped with some rather old processor cores. This showed in the performance of the mobile Llano products. They simply could not keep up with Sandy Bridge's more modern cores.
Bulldozer isn't coming to mobile with Trinity, either. Instead we're receiving Piledriver. AMD has effectively skipped the first iteration of its new Bulldozer architecture and moved straight on to the second. Piledriver includes the third generation of AMD's Turbo Core and promises "up to 29%" better processor performance than last year's Llano-based A-Series.
That's a significant improvement, should it turn out to be correct. Is it true, and will it be enough to catch up to Intel?
Introduction, Design, User Interface
Intel has decided to lead its introduction of Ivy Bridge for mobile with its most powerful quad-core parts. Many of these processors will end up in mainstream laptop, but they're also great for gaming laptops. In our first look at Ivy Bridge we saw that it holds up well when paired with its own Intel HD 4000 graphics – if you keep the resolution around 1366x768. A bit more than that and the IGP just can't hang.
Gamers will still want a beefy discrete GPU, and that's what the G75 offers. Inside this beast you'll find an Nvidia GeForce GTX 670M. Those who were reading our Kepler coverage will remember that this is not based off Nvidia's newest architecture but is instead a re-work of an older Fermi chip. That mean seem a bit disappointing, and it is – but the performance of Nvidia's older mobile chips wasn't lackluster.
So, this new laptop is packing a spanking-new Core i7-3720QM as well as Nvidia's new GTX 670M. That's an impressive combination, and ASUS has wisely backed it up with a well-rounded set of performance components.

Introduction, Overview, What is New With Ivy Bridge
This article will focus on the new Ivy Bridge, 3rd Generation Core Processor from a mobile perspective. If you are curious as the performance and features of the Ivy Bridge desktop processors, be sure to check out our desktop Core i7-3770K review here.
It would be an understatement to say that Intel's had a good streak as of, say, the last five years. If life was commented on by the announcer from Unreal Tournament, Intel's product releases would now be followed by the scream of "M-M-M-MONSTER KILLLLLLLL!" This is particularly true in the mobile market. Atom aside, Intel's processors have repeatedly defeated AMD and its own preceding products.
Many companies in this position might feel it's time to take a breather, but Intel has reached this point precisely because it doesn't. The "tick-tock" strategy of constant improvement has made the company and its products stronger than ever before. Even the Pentium-powered Intel of the mid-90s seems weak compared to today's juggernaut.
And so we come to the launch of Ivy Bridge. This is not a new architecture but instead an update of Sandy Bridge – however, that does not mean the under-the-hood revisions aren't substantial. There's a lot to talk about.
The reference system provided for our review is an ASUS N56VM, but this is not a full review of the laptop. That will be published later, after we've had more time to look at the laptop itself. Our focus today is on the new Intel hardware inside.
Let's get to it.

Introduction, Design, User Interface
Dell has long tried to enter the high-end luxury laptop market. These attempts have always been met with mixed results. While Dell's thick, power and relatively affordable XPS laptops are a good pick for people needing a desktop replacement, they don't cause the thinness-obsessed media to salivate.
Enter the Dell XPS 15z. It'd be easy to think that it's a MacBook Pro clone considering its similar pricing and silver exterior, but reality is simpler then that. This is just an XPS 15 that has been slimmed down. Like the standard XPS laptops, the 15z follows a form-balanced-by-function approach that is common among all of Dell's laptops.
Slimming the chassis has forced the use of some less powerful components, but our review unit still arrived with some impressive hardware. Let's have a look.
Introduction, Design and Ergonomics
Tablets are growing in popularity, but the market is still immature. There are only a handful of serious contenders sold in North America (discounting the cheap knock-offs you can find on eBay and other sites).
Apple's iPad is the clear leader in terms of sales. It is trailed by similar Android-powered options like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the Acer Iconia and (of coures) the ASUS Transformer Prime. We reviewed the Prime when it hit store shelves earlier this year and concluded that it was the best Android tablet money can buy. That makes a comparison with the new iPad obvious.
The constant stream of rants for or against Android and iOS devices in the media may lead you to think that the comparison between the two is highly subjective. I don't believe that's the case. There are a number of objective measurements that can be used to judge these products.
Yes, there is always going to be some degree of preference between operating systems, but we're not really going to get into the iOS vs. Android argument here. That's a topic that would require its own article, and most likely one several times longer than this comparison. Subjective points will be limited to design and ergonomics.
Enough talk. It's time for the competition to begin.
Continue reading our comparison of the new iPad (2012) and the ASUS Transformer Prime!!
Introduction, Design and Ergonomics
Editor's note: You will find us calling this unit the "iPad 3" even though Apple doesn't really call it that. The confusion involved in calling it "the new iPad" over and over would just get slightly tedious. Enjoy the review!!
Apple's iPad has been a roaring success. More than a few people had doubts that tablets could find a market, but the sneers shot in its direction at the launch of the original are now only memories. iPad has become a household name.
But it's not easy being popular. Everyone is watching your next move. The iPhone 4S is a perfect example. Though it improved on the iPhone 4 it was still considered by some to be a disappointment. The bar had been set too high.
That's certainly a possibility with the iPad 3. Rumor-mongering went out of control prior to the release. Many were expecting a quad-core processor, while others suggested that the display would offer haptic feedback. Let's have a look at what was actually shipped.
Only some of the hardware has been changed. The new iPad is still running a dual-core A5 at 1 GHz, but the graphics have been upgraded to the "quad-core" PowerVR SFX 543MP4, which is essentially a doubling of the iPad 2's PowerVR SFX 543MP2. RAM has increased to 1GB, a necessary upgrade that Apple doesn't speak of in press releases.

The Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 is a unique laptop. It was the first product on the market to contain a GPU based of Nvidia's new Kepler architecture, beating out not only other laptops but also the desktop video cards. It's also a rare 15.6" ultrabook. Though a lot of companies have talked about them, not many have actually offered them.
You might expect, considering this two facts, that the Acer Aspire M3 would be outrageously expensive. But this is Acer we're talking about, and if there's anything the company stands for, it's value. This laptop, should you find it on store shelves (it is a globe product with limited production, and they don't seem to have hit North America quite yet), will retail for around $800. Or so we've been told - given the so far limited supply, we would not be surprised if prices were a bit higher until more units are made available to quell demand.
So, what's inside this ultra-sized ultrabook? Besides the GT 640M, nothing surprising.
Though large enough to accommodate a decent discrete GPU, this laptop still has a low-voltage Core i5 processor. That's going to put some limits on the overall performance of the laptop, but it also should help extend battery life.
This is likely to be the only Kepler based laptop on the market for a month or two. The reason for this is Ivy Bridge - most of the manufacturers are waiting for Intel's processor update before they go to the trouble of designing new products.
Continue reading our review of the new Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 and how discrete GPUs and Ultrabooks can work together!!
Introduction, GT 640M Basics
About two months ago I wrote an less than enthusiastic editorial about ultrabooks that pointed out several weaknesses in the format. One particular weakness in all of the products we've seen to date is graphics performance. Ultrabooks so far have lacked the headroom for a discrete graphics component and have instead been saddled with a low-performance version of the already so-so Intel HD 3000 IGP.
This is a problem. Ultrabooks are expensive, yet they so far are less capable of displaying rich 3D graphics than your typical smartphone or tablet. Casual gamers will notice this and take their gaming time and dollars in that direction. Early leaked information about Ivy Bridge indicates that there has been a substantial increase in graphics capability, but the information available so far is centered on the desktop. The version that will be found in ultrabooks is unlikely to be as quick.
Today we're looking at a potential solution - the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 equipped with Nvidia's new GT 640M GPU. This is the first laptop to launch with a Kepler based GPU. It is also an ultrabook, albeit it one with a 15.6" display. Otherwise, it isn't much different from other products on the market, as you can see below.
This is likely to be the only Kepler based laptop on the market for a month or two. The reason for this is Ivy Bridge - most of the manufacturers are waiting for Intel's processor update before they go to the trouble of designing new products.

Google ordered to pay $85M in patent suit about push notifications
By Chantal Tode
March 24, 2014
Google sends push notifications for Android apps such as Facebook
A jury wants Google to pay $85 million in damages to SimpleAir in an ongoing case that points to the increasingly important role of push notifications for mobile.
The patent in question covers a system and method for data communication connecting online networks computers in real-time. SimpleAir had been seeking as much as $146 million in the trial while Google said the claims were worth no more than $6 million and that it is considering its options as it continues to believe no infringement was involved.
The news that it was penalized $85M is insignificant to Google given their $50B in annual revenues, said Robert Gueph, president of management consulting firm Enable Communications. They may have not settled initially just to make a point about patent trolls.
How much Simple Air charges for licensing fees will be the next question, he said. I doubt they could justify any licensing fee much higher than they have the other major players already.
However, if they try, Google probably can threaten them with their own workaround.
Real-time notifications
SimpleAirs allegations address that Googles Cloud Messaging and Android Cloud to Device Messaging services, which process and send push notifications for Androids apps such as Facebook, Twitter and Gmail, infringe SimpleAirs technology.
The patent infringement allegations were part of a claim originally filed in 2011 against multiple parties including Microsoft, Samsung and Nokia.
The other firms eventually settled with SimpleAir. Apple and BlackBerry also have reportedly licensed the technology.
A jury unanimously determined in January that Google infringed all five asserted patent claims from SimpleAir, with the issue of damages handled by a separate trial that concluded last week.
Future proceedings are expected to address allegations of ongoing or future infringement, as SimpleAir owns the patent through 2017.
Future damages
The amount of the damages awarded by the jury is not a significant blow to Google. However, the amount only covers damages for current infringement.
Future damages will be decided at later hearings.
The patent was issued in 2006, SimpleAir claims the patent, which was issued in 2006, covers technology first developed a decade earlier but for which the potential was not clear until the smartphone market took off.
Push notifications are an important new channel because these alerts can help increase traffic, optimize app use and drive conversions. As the time spent on apps continues to grow, the importance of push notifications is also growing.
For example, 76 percent of European smartphone-owning online adults who use apps receive push notifications, according to a report from Forrester (see story).
Patent wars
Google sends push notifications for more than 60,000 apps on Android devices.
As push notifications have grown, this segment could become a bigger focus of patent infringement suits going forward.
Patent infringement allegations have been a big issue in mobile as companies recognize the significant growth potential in the market and look to protect their own turf as much as possible.
Google has long claimed to be the victim of others using patents to gain a competitive advantage in the mobile market. However, an investigation launched by the Federal Trade Commission in 2012 into Googles use of standard essential patents called into question the companys own actions.
I would guess that push notifications will continue without interruption and that brand marketers can rely on their availability, Mr. Gueph said.

An Israeli man and a Norwegian woman kidnapped by armed Bedouin tribesmen in Egypt's Sinai peninsula last week were set free on Tuesday, Egyptian and Norwegian officials said.
The pair, abducted on Friday, were released thanks to the efforts of Bedouin tribesmen, said an Egyptian security official cited by state news agency MENA.
They were in good health, and were freed in the early hours of the morning by tribal leaders, said the agency, without giving further details about the conditions for their release.
The Norwegian foreign ministry confirmed the release of the woman identified as 31-year-old Ingvild Selvik Ask, a paediatrician.
"We are relieved and happy that the situation has unravelled," spokeswoman Ragnhild Imerslund told AFP in Oslo. "She was apparently treated well and is in good shape."
The woman, who was transferred to Cairo, was quoted as telling Verdens Gang, a tabloid in her homeland, that "it was the craziest safari I've ever been on."
Her travel partner, Israeli Arab Amir Omar Hassan, was also taken to Cairo on his way home via Jordan, his brother Khaled told Israeli public radio after speaking to him by phone.

"He was freed early this morning. He was in Cairo. He left Cairo for Amman and from there he will come to Israel," he said.
"He said the experience was a nightmare and he is very happy to be released and won't be going back there," Khaled Hassan said.
Israel's foreign ministry praised Egypt for its handling of the matter.
"Israel wishes to thank Egyptian Authorities for their quick, efficient and successful action for the release of the kidnapped Israeli and Norwegian tourists,' spokesman Yigal Palmor said in a statement.
"We all share the happiness of the Hassan family upon the homecoming of their son, Amir."
Six gunmen had intercepted the tourists' car and forced them into their truck on Friday as they travelled between the resort of Taba, on the border with Israel, and the coastal town of Dahab further south.
A spate of hostage takings, which usually last for no longer than 48 hours, broke out in the restive Sinai after an uprising forced out president Hosni Mubarak in early 2011 and battered his security services.
The kidnappers are normally Bedouin who want to trade the hostages for jailed fellow tribesmen.

2015 Ural Sidecar Review: WWII Soviet Tech On (And Off) The Road Today
A sidecar isn't like any other vehicle. The design dates back to pre-WWII technology sharing between the Nazis and Soviet Union and the bikes are still made in the same factory that was located out of bomber range way out on the Siberian steppe. This is what they're like to ride today.

Pele, is almost universally regarded as the greatest player in the history of football. Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento in the Minas Gerais region of Brazil, Pele emerged on to the international stage at the 1958 World Cup, at the age of just 17. He went on to win three winners medals in football's most important tournament. Pele remains Brazil's record goal scorer and netted more than 1,000 goals in all during his career. Today he is a businessman and global ambassador for what he once called "the beautiful game". He was awarded the title Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee.

I made this apron tonight for my mom. I couldn't get anyone to model it for me so I had to hang it up and the lighting was horrible so the colors don't look very good. There are lots of green leaves in the print and it is a black background with coral color flowers.
I made two sets of coasters. One set matches my dad's remote control caddy and they other two are for my brother and his wife. I didn't have enough fabric to make more than 2 each. Oh well, they each just have the two of them and never have visitors so it will work out.
I also just got a new cell phone today and am still learning how to use the camera on it. I'm just too old for all this new fangled techy stuff! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thomson Reuters is coming to America! OK, so the media company is already well-established in the United States, but it announced the creation of Reuters America, which is aimed at publishers and broadcasters with the goal of providing them with news, information, and services.
Tribune Co. is already signed on as a Reuters America customer, and it will incorporate news, photos, digital content, graphics, and online video into its newspapers (including the Chicago Tribune and the Los Angeles Times) and publishing and broadcasting Web sites.
Content providers signed on to distribute content via Reuters America include: The Wrap News, Sports Direct, The SportsXchange, US PRESSWIRE, SB Nation, and Examiner.com.
Thomson Reuters president of media Chris Ahearn said:
For too long, this market was bound by a one-size-fits-all offering. Reuters America is introducing choice and flexibility to the news industry. In today's world, we must be more than a content provider — we need to be a partner and act as an extension of our clients' newsroom.
Chicago Tribune senior vice president and editor Gerould W. Kern added:
Our partnership with Reuters gives us greater freedom in customizing news coverage that fits our needs. Competition increases choice, spurs innovation, and makes everyone more responsive to the needs of the marketplace. We're delighted to be working with Reuters.

Amid Bank Failures, Georgia League Mounts Ad Campaign
ATLANTA -- The failure of two community banks here within three months--and both in the same suburb--is providing an extra nudge to a safety and soundness campaign that will be launched Monday by Georgia Credit Union Affiliates.
Using billboard, print and radio, the month-long Georgia campaign "with a reassuring theme" will "describe the credit union difference and explain how consumers can benefit by belonging to a credit union," said a league spokeswoman.
Without directly mentioning the bank collapses in suburban Alpharetta, Eric Jenkins, senior vice president of growth services at GCUA, said, "credit unions in Georgia are doing well, despite the uncertainty in the banking industry. Our credit unions are well capitalized and ready to lend to members."
A week ago, the $362 million Alpha Bank of Alpharetta was seized by the FDIC and under a purchase/assumption deal was sold to Stearns Bank NA of St. Cloud, Minn. In August another larger Alpharetta Bank, the $1 billion Integrity Bank was also taken over by the FDIC and sold to Regions Bank of Birmingham, Ala., after Integrity ran up large losses on real estate loans.
On the safety and soundness campaign, GCUA said that apart from the ads, several radio stations "have have agreed to run public service announcements to spread the message." Additionally, "we have received invitations to appear on radio public affairs programs to further describe the credit union difference."

As long as I've been working in social media, I have received requests for DVDs or other recorded materials from my clients and seminar attendees. Social media changes from minute to minute, day by day, so I took my time in selecting a subject that would stand the test of time.
Watching people, listening to their concerns, and tracking trends for years gave me my answer. Technologies change and brands get sold. What stays the same is us, for our whole lives. What I know to be true is that you spend your whole life developing your character and reputation and today, one post, one video, one stupid mistake, can be your ruin when it's online. While many of my client requests are for Facebook page building, LinkedIn understanding, social media strategies, and measuring marketing channels, I knew they needed more. When I started adding reputation management and personal branding to my services, my clients were shocked at what we found. They felt uneducated and helpless to change what others saw on search engines.
There's a ton of marketing and business focused social media resources available. What I don't see much of is easy to understand information for business owners, schools, parents, children, and people of all walks of life on how to navigate the web, understand what's happening, stay safe, and build a positive route for success. This book is a start.
This is my higher calling:
- Educate people on the truth of the situation and how it affects them.
- Assure them there are ways to be proactive and assertive.
- Empower them with action items they can perform to protect themselves and their loved ones.
This book is not about social media strategy specifically, though I do cover it. This book is for everyone to use, understand, and learn what tools are available to control how they are seen online when they aren't around to speak for themselves.
I know not everyone likes social media or wants to use it. Many aren't ready yet and may never be but that doesn't mean they don't deserve the information should they desire it. I wrote a paperback book because I want to reach as many people as possible, particularly those that aren't constantly attached to technological devices, this book is first and foremost for them. And for those that prefer digital books, it's also available in Kindle format and soon in iBook. You can get your copy here.
Plain and simple, this subject is too important to neglect. Knowledge is power.

I spend much of my time either researching or training. I love to dive into settings for my clients. I like to quickly take care of the most nefarious and get their settings optimized right away. This is where I find many people run out of steam and give up because it's simply too much and generally confusing. I found a few privacy settings I think you should know about on LinkedIn.
- Log in to LinkedIn
- Hover over your name in the upper right hand corner and Settings shows up on the drop down list, select
- At bottom left, look for Groups, Associations, and Applications, select it
- Under Privacy Controls, there is "Turn on/off data sharing with 3rd party applications". Select or deselect at will.
- Again under Privacy Controls, there is "Manage settings for LinkedIn plugins on third party sites"
- This one is important: on the Account tab, there is "Manage Social Advertising". This is where you select whether or not LinkedIn may use your name and photo in social advertising.
I recommend you read each of these carefully but I would bet money that you don't know these settings are even there. Make sure you know where your data is going. I actually chose to keep the first two I mentioned but I opted out of social advertising. Be educated. Knowledge is power.
My first directive as a social media and technology trainer is education. I help people understand what's going on, who's talking, where they are, how to make it happen, and when they should participate. What has become painfully obvious to me is our absence of opportunities to learn and a lack of technological education. I am guiding increasing generations of the digitally illiterate. Let me show you what I mean.
Quick Quiz:
- How old are you?
- How far back can you remember that technology was included in your curriculum?
- Did they teach typing or computers in your junior or high school?
- Did the internet even exist when you were in school?
- Assuming you use a computer now, how did you learn to use it?
I dare you to give a 16 year old a car but don't give them any information about the rules of the road or a map. Tell 'em to just wing it. Teach yourself, kid. How well do you think that would work out? Just think about the damage that could do. So why do we think that kids (not to mention adults) and computers will just "figure it out"?

Early Non-marital Childbearing And The "Culture Of Despair"
This paper borrows from the tradition of other social sciences in considering the impact that "Culture" (broadly defined as the economic and social environment in which the poor live) plays in determining early, non-marital childbearing. Along with others before the authors, they hypothesize that the despair and hopelessness that poor, young women may face increases the likelihood that they will give birth at an early age outside of marriage. They derive a formal economic model that incorporates the perception of economic success as a key factor driving one's decision to have an early, non-marital birth. They propose that this perception is based in part on the level of income inequality that exists in a woman's location of residence.

DEFINITION of 'Nervous Nellie'
An investor who isn't comfortable with investing and the risks associated with it. Nervous Nellies have very little risk tolerance. As a result, their investment returns are likely to suffer because they will only invest in very low-risk, low-return investments. Without taking on greater risk, Nervous Nellies may not be able to generate the returns they need to meet goals such as being able to retire.
BREAKING DOWN 'Nervous Nellie'
If a Nervous Nellie decides to take a chance on a higher-risk, higher-return investment like stocks, they will most likely sell the moment the market ticks downward. Investors who sell when their holdings decline in price might miss some bad moments in the market, but they are also likely to miss the upswings.

Home › Forums › Korean food discussion › Stackable Bento Boxes for Banchan?
This topic contains 1 reply, has 2 voices, and was last updated by wolvesinwinter 7 years, 6 months ago.
Hi Maangchi,
I'm a BIG fan of your site and absolutely adore your banchan dishes! I made Gaji Namul (Eggplant Side Dish) today and it really hit the spot for my banchan craving.
Speaking of banchan (and my love for them), are there any stackable bento boxes only for banchan? It would be really convenient if I just had to take such boxes out instead of placing side dishes onto individual plates or into bowls (time consuming before AND after a meal). Are there any places in the (greater) NYC area where I would find them, specifically around Northern Blvd in Queens? Thanks!
Keep up the great work!
I would recommend visiting your local Target and checking out the tupperware section. They have great lock & lock and other smaller containers.
Or better yet, I have been investing some of the new Anchor TruSeal glass/silicone top ware.

The one thing every successful person does
I'm probably not going to say what you think
A quick Google search of 'top things successful people do' brings up countless articles: 14 Things Successful People Do On Weekends, 5 Things Super Successful People Do Before 8 AM, 12 Things Successful People Do Before Breakfast, 10 Things Successful People Do On Monday Mornings, The Top 5 Things Successful People Do Before 9am!, The Top 10 Things Successful People Do To Reach Their Dreams … I could go on…
None of the items on the list are ever too surprising. Exercise makes it on every list. Some people suggest meditation, while others focus on planning your week. They say to spend time with your family. Don't forget to get good rest, and wake up early. Some lists contradict each other. Some say to answer emails- others say don't spend time on them. Some say read the news- other says stay away.
The problem with these lists is that there is really only ONE thing that everyone has in common. We are all human. That's it. Some of us do better in the mornings (me), others like to work late into the night (not me). Some people work better at home, others like the structure of an office. It seems ridiculous to try and sort people in this way.
For years successful people wore a suit and tie to the office. Mark Zuckerberg wears a hoodie every day. I like to get to the office at 7:30am while my colleague rolls in at 10:30am. However, I leave at least an hour before he does every day. Despite our different styles, both of us are very good at our jobs.
So. What then is the one thing that every single successful person does?
They work hard.
Done. Simple as that. Some successful people have great personal lives, some don't. Some are very nice people, others aren't. Some are physically and emotionally healthy and still, others are not. On top of that, some are happy- but not all are. There is no formula for success so stop trying to find one. Just do your best every single day! And remember that your best is not perfection.

I always wanted one of those *real* memory foam mattresses. I'd endured the spring coil for many decades before the darling husband shelled out the big bucks for a memory foam. We got a Tempurpedic on sale, and I did a review shortly after. It remains one of my most popular blog posts, surprisingly.
We've had ours for almost two years now! Has it really been that long?! But I'm happy to say that it's still very, very nice. And SO comfortable.
Because of herniated spinal disks and sciatica, I was in a lot of pain with the regular spring coil bed. Since we have had a memory foam mattress, I have not had one "big" bout of back problems. So I'm very partial to the memory foam. 🙂
What really stinks is the foundation. We got a generic brand name foundation for the set, and after 6 months, it started squeaking like crazy. Apparently, the foundation is constructed of cardboard and plastic ribbing! Very cheap. We've replaced the foundation set every 6 months for 18 months (warranty) until the furniture store said they wouldn't replace the foundation anymore, and we'd have to buy a new set. :-p I won't get into how much that totally stinks. I guess I could sue them for breach or warranty, perhaps…. 🙁
Anyway. The memory foam mattress itself is outstanding. After two years, here are some things I've learned.
The memory foam mattress IS a little hot. It's constructed of some kind of plastic something or other, and therefore retains heat very well. I am a hot person by nature, so I get overheated sometimes. It's not blistering hot as some reviewers would have you believe, but it's a pretty toasty mattress in the winter, and warm in the summer. On the plus side, if you live in a cold climate or your house is cold all winter, this is THE mattress to get.
The complete bed set sits lower than the average bed. So you drop into it at night and crawl up out of it in the morning. I'd rather have a higher bed. Someday, I'm going to build a bed frame out of solid lumber. This will raise the bed and replace that lousy, squeaky foundation.
The memory foam does soften over time. When we first got it, it was firm. It's loosened a little. It's still very comfortable, but it is softer. Also, when it's cold, the bed is firmer, and when it's warm, the bed relaxes. The material is sensitive to temperatures.
The mattress is extremely heavy. VERY heavy. It takes two guys to haul it up the stairs, and even then, I wondered if they were going to spill back down again….
Overall, I recommend the memory foam mattress. You can no doubt get much better deals online than retail. It was expensive, retail. You cannot use regular box springs with the memory foam, though– it must have a solid foundation. I recommend you stay far away from the generic no-brand labels and stick with the big names for the foundation. Or, build your own solid wood bed frame.

Parish History
This chapel was built as part of the General Lying-in-Hospital, York Road, Lambeth and was one of four such lying-in hospitals established in Greater London in the mid-18th century.

The General Lying In Hospital was opened in 1767 as the New Westminster Lying In Hospital in Westminster, Bridge Road, Lambeth. It admitted single and married women. In 1818 it changed its name to the General Lying In Hospital and moved to York Road in 1828. The hospital closed in 1971.[1]

Seventeen days after the last spike was driven into the Canadian Pacific Railroad track in Craigellachie, B.C., the government of Sir John A. Macdonald established Canada's first national park around a set of hot springs that had been discovered in Banff, Alta.
That 26-square-kilometre parcel of land was the start of a national legacy that has since expanded to cover 365,000 square kilometers spread across 42 different parks.
They range from Quttinirpaaq near the North Pole to Point Pelee at the southernmost tip of Ontario, and from the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve on Lyell Island in the Queen Charlotte Islands to Terra Nova on Newfoundland's North Atlantic coast.
To mark the 125th anniversary of Canada's national parks, which took place on November 25, Parks Canada has compiled a collection of stunning photos by 39 photographers that depict the extraordinary landscapes that have been preserved through the system.
Called Canada's National Parks, A Celebration, it features sweeping panoramas of barren Arctic mountain ranges, sea lions basking on rocky Pacific outcrops, crimson-tinged grasslands during a prairie sunset, and the misty woods of Fundy park in late autumn.
Land for eight of Canada's existing national parks was designated during the tenure of former Progressive Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney.
"As Canadians, we are deeply connected to and passionate about the miraculous beauty of our wilderness. It genuinely is the foundation of who we are as a people," Mr. Mulroney said Wednesday in an e-mail to The Globe and Mail.
"One of the joys of my time as prime minister was to have added some of the most beautiful places in Canada to our national parks system."
Increasing the sanctuary provided by designated parkland becomes more important as human activity encroaches on the vast expanses of wilderness that define this northern country. But even Canada's first prime minister recognized the value of setting aside areas of special beauty and natural significance.
"Our country wasn't even 20 years old when Canada showed international leadership in establishing Banff," said Alan Latourelle, chief executive officer of Parks Canada
"And that international leadership is continuing with this current generation of Canadians. We are continuing to expand the parks system. And what we're all collectively doing is making sure that future generations of Canadians will be able to experience Canada in all of its diversity from a landscape perspective, a wildlife perspective and geography."
Most of us have not experienced, first hand, the grey wisp of cloud as it floats over the ice in Bylot Sound in Sirmilik National Park on North Baffin Island or sun dogs in the sky above Wapusk National Park on the northwestern tip of Hudson Bay. The new book, said Mr. Latourelle, brings our national parks to Canadians in their homes.
But he expects the remote areas that are now difficult to reach will be visited by increasing numbers of people in the years ahead.
"If you look at when Banff was created, very few people had access to Banff National Park at that time. It was by train and then by horseback and only well-off Canadians could go there. It was considered the wilderness, Mr. Latourelle said.
"We are continuing to take steps today and in the future to ensure that these places in 100 years from now when they become potentially more accessible, that Canadians will have places that are sacred, that are their national treasures, that they can go and experience."
The book, available at major booksellers across Canada, includes a complimentary daily family pass that can be used at any national park, said Mr. Latourelle, "to inspire Canadians to come and experience these exceptional wonders."

IN RE ELIZABETH YOUNT MINORAnnotate this Case

In the Matter of ELIZABETH YOUNT, Minor.
August 30, 2005
No. 260299
Wayne Circuit Court
Family Division
LC No. 04-426799-NA
Before: Zahra, P.J., and Gage and Murray, JJ.
Respondent-appellant appeals as of right from the trial court order terminating his
parental rights to the minor child under MCL 712A.19b(3)(b)(i), (g), and (j). We affirm.
The trial court did not clearly err in determining that statutory grounds for termination
had been established. MCR 3.977(J); In re Gazella, 264 Mich App 668, 672; 692 NW2d 708
(2005). The evidence showed that the minor child pointed to a picture of respondent-appellant
and stated his name. In her explicit statements of sexual activity, she named respondentappellant as the perpetrator. Her sexual acting-out behavior demonstrated clear imitations of
sexual intercourse and other sexual activity inappropriate for her age. The actual observable
behavior and language were sufficient evidence of sexual abuse by respondent-appellant.
Further, when the minor child was living with respondent-appellant, he took her to live with his
girlfriend and her daughter and, while living there, engaged in acts of domestic violence against
the girlfriend that resulted in his incarceration. He then gave the minor child to an underage
brother who lived in an inappropriate home. At the time of trial, respondent-appellant did not
have sufficient employment to support a child, and was living in a home that was inappropriate
for the minor child.
Furthermore, the evidence plainly does not establish that termination of respondentappellant's parental rights was contrary to the best interests of the minor child. MCL
712A.19b(5); In re Trejo, 462 Mich 341, 353; 612 NW2d 407 (2000). In addition to the
evidence establishing the statutory grounds for termination, there was testimony that the minor
child started screaming and would not go to respondent-appellant when she saw him, which
belies his claim that there was a strong bond between them.
Finally, respondent-appellant contends that he was denied the effective assistance of
counsel. We review this unpreserved constitutional question for plain error affecting
respondent's substantial rights, i.e., error that is outcome determinative. People v Carines, 460
Mich 750, 763-764, 774; 597 NW2d 130 (1999). None of the errors alleged by respondentappellant would have changed the outcome of the proceedings. First, the trial court did not rely
on the speculative testimony during the tender years hearing in its decision to proceed to trial on
the petition. Second, there was sufficient independent corroborating testimony concerning the
minor child's use of profanity and sexual acting-out behaviors that any error in failing to
sequester the witnesses did not affect the outcome of the trial. Finally, petitioner-appellee also
had a certified copy of respondent-appellant's domestic violence conviction that it could have
entered into evidence had respondent-appellant's attorney chosen to do so.

¡Vivimos! The Story of Bacardí
Bacardí rum's heritage and roots are proudly Cuban, with a rich history spanning more than 150 years. Their latest advertising campaign takes a look at that history in a stunning cinematic style. The story depicted in the film series is inspired from actual historical events that shaped the brand.
¡Vivimos! celebrates the irrepressible spirit of Emilio Bacardí Moreau, who was more than a rum magnate. Emilio, the eldest son of the founder of Bacardí, coordinated an underground network to transmit secret messages and distribute revolutionary newspapers from his rum factory in the late 1800s.
For more back story, check out the first video in the series. "Eve of the Revolution" is 6 minutes long and tells the story of Emilio Bacardí, who risks his name, his family and his future for the soul and independence of his country.
Visit Bacardí on YouTube (vivimos.com) to learn more about Bacardí's storied origins.


text: This collection of essays by writers on their friends, all of which were first published in the New York Review of Books, throws up a few oddities from the outset. The remit goes beyond the potentially incestuous world of literature to include music, art and science, and so there are reminiscences from Robert Oppenheimer on Einstein and Joseph Brodsky on Isaiah Berlin, in addition to the more predictable essays from the likes of Seamus Heaney (on Thomas Flanagan) and Oliver Sacks (on Francis Crick). Some may deplore the American bias, or the omissions, such as no essay by Kingsley Amis on Philip Larkin. Set against this is the excellence of much of the writing, often with a humorous and wry tone that belies the sadness of the lives described.

Pokédex 3D
| This article is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it.
Pokédex 3D (Japanese: ポケモン立体図鑑BW Pokémon 3D Picture Book BW) is a free Nintendo 3DS app available from the eShop. The app is an Unova Pokédex, featuring Pokémon from Pokémon Black and White Versions. Once downloaded, players are able to look through 16 different Pokémon; more can be unlocked through three different methods: QR codes, SpotPass, and trading. Players can scan QR codes, likely to be distributed online and at events, to unlock Pokémon, get three random Pokémon per day via SpotPass, or trade information with others via StreetPass.
The 3D aspect of the game allows players to view 3D renderings of each Pokémon, and rotate them 360 degrees. These renderings can be used with the 3DS's built-in camera and Augmented Reality to place Pokémon in real world environments. Each Pokémon has its own individual Augmented Reality card, a grid of black and white blocks, which becomes an image of a Poké Ball in the Augmented Reality.
The app has an advanced search feature, and players can add Pokémon to a favorites list. Basic Pokédex functions are also available, including Pokémon stats, height, and weight, as well as viewing movesets, egg groups, and evolution data, features not seen since Earl's Pokémon Academy in Pokémon Stadium 2.
All moves up to Generation V except for the seven secret moves, V-create, Freeze Shock, Ice Burn, Snarl, Secret Sword, Relic Song, and Techno Blast, as well, can be viewed, even if no Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex can learn them (such as Roar of Time, legitimately only had by Dialga, Darkrai, and Arceus), indicating an eventual update to include all 646 officially-released Pokémon may be on the way sometime during the 3DS's lifespan.

One Question Q & A with Sam Green
Adam L. Brinklow | Photo: Courtesy of Sam Green | November 8, 2013
The documentarian dishes on his new exhibit, "A Cinematic Study of Fog"
Q: You're known for focusing your lens on such divisive topics as terrorist networks and the failure of technology to create an ideal society. Why do a film about fog?
A: I wanted to do something local that didn't require a lot of wrangling. I thought it would be easy—that was delusional. Fog is like depression: When you're in it, you feel like you'll never get out of it, but when you're watching it, it's glamorous and kind of romantic. It's like reading Hemingway. We wanted something that transcends the cliché beauty shot—more than just the national geographic screen saver. But fog is totally unpredictable. We'd get somebody to agree to an interview, but when it came time to shoot, it'd be a beautiful, clear day. Sometimes we'd have fog, but it would disappear as soon as we got to the location. It's a natural force marauding through the city, a reminder that this is a somewhat inhospitable place for a city and that nature can't just be shunted off.

Even though the president and Congress were finally able to come to an agreement to prevent the country from defaulting, our economic situation is no better than before.
With unemployment still at a high rate and prices continuing to rise on everything from consumer goods to mortgages and interest rates, how can we have any hope of optimism? All we have been hearing from President Barack Obama is that things are going to improve. The big question the American people are asking is when?
This recession is the worst to affect our economy since the Great Depression of 1929. This country cannot have a repeat of that ever again, so the windbag politicians in Washington had better get off their padded backsides and start trying to work out some type of plan that will help to reverse this economic crisis that we are in.
Obama, the ringmaster, and the clowns in the circus that is our Congress need to also get their act together and stop acting as if all of this were some type of comedy. They do not seem to grasp the reality that the American people are tired of hearing that everything will be all right.
Again, the question is when?

50 Best Albums of 2012
Frank Ocean reimagined R&B; Dylan drenched us in blood; pop-punk vets, disco orchestras and Scottish oddballs made an election year bearable.
34. Alabama Shakes, 'Boys & Girls'
Fronted by ex-mail carrier Brittany Howard – a slow-boil belter shaped by punk and roots rock as much as the Stax-Volt/Muscle Shoals sound she so mightily channels – the Alabama-based Shakes sprang from Southern soul's cradle. Their debut is a set of lean, hooky originals about the big stuff: love ("Be Mine"), death ("On Your Way"), human struggle ("Hold On") and getting crunk ("Goin' to the Party"). It earned them a fan base that includes Robert Plant and My Morning Jacket, and it suggests that even greater things lie ahead.

Of International Crimes and Memory Sticks
Perhaps my favorite news story of late (apart from the Somali pirates and their spokesperson) is the Colombian government's seizure of a memory stick belonging to the rebel group FARC, containing the names, identities, aliases, and even some photos of over 9,000 guerrillas. One can almost imagine the guerrilla-in-chief stomping around muttering to himself, "I KNOW I had that memory stick around here somewhere." And you felt bad about that memory stick you lost! In all seriousness, the FARC is notorious for its human rights abuses, and its entry into the digital age may benefit not only the group itself.
While genocidaires and other perpetrators of grave crimes often keep painstaking records of their crimes, it has been in the past an enormous task to track down, authenticate, and preserve this documentary record. In just one example, the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) has worked for over a decade to collect and store documentary evidence of the crimes of the Khmer Rouge, whose surviving leaders are soon to be tried before the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). I flew all the way to Cambodia last summer to meet with ECCC officials on behalf of the DC-Cam to discuss document transfer, storage, and preservation protocols. Imagine if we could have just handed over a memory stick full of information to the court! What if Pol Pot had a laptop we could get our hands on? The possibilities are endless in the digital age; the ease with which we can now transfer information may be helpful not only for perpetrators but also for prosecutors of international crimes.
Of course, the Evidence professor in me is skeptical about the admissibility of such data without proper authentication. While the authentication of computerized data is very much a live question before American courts, the evidentiary rules applied in international criminal tribunals are generally derived from civil law jurisdictions and therefore allow broad admissibility under the assumption that the judge can determine whether the evidence is reliable and weigh it accordingly. While this approach may be sensible in its inclusiveness, judges should trace the chain of custody carefully and rely on techie experts to ensure that nobody has tampered with computerized data. Particularly in the complex political situations that give rise to international crimes, it would be all too tempting for political foes to create a memory stick full of false information . . .
