A Customs and Border Protection officer pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to wire fraud and concealing from arrest a fugitive who was a convicted smuggler and the officer's brother-in-law.
Thomas Paul Silva's guilty plea came less than a month after he was arrested at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, where he had been assigned to work.
As part of the plea agreement, Silva agreed to resign his position with the agency.
Since 2004, more than 140 federal border officers and agents have faced criminal corruption charges. Most of them took money to allow drugs or undocumented immigrants into the United States.
Chris Matson, director of field operations for Customs and Border Protection in San Diego and Imperial counties, said Tuesday that most officers with the agency are skilled and honest.
"We will not tolerate corruption within our workforce and we will actively ferret out and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law any employees who commit unethical or unlawful acts," Matson said in a statement.
The 33-year-old Silva is a 10-year veteran of the agency. He was accused of allowing his brother-in-law, Julio Cesar Landaverde Valdez, illegally enter the U.S from Mexico in April.
Authorities said Silva knew that his brother-in-law, who had been convicted of human smuggling charges and then walked away from a federal halfway house, was a fugitive.
At a hearing in September, Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Mazza said that Silva had been the target of a lengthy investigation that began when authorities were tipped that he was allowing people to pass through the entry lane he staffed without properly checking them.
Mazza said the probe also revealed Silva was involved in other criminal activities, including drug smuggling and tax evasion.
Federal prosecutors had not yet charged him with any of those additional crimes, and in exchange for pleading guilty prosecutors said they will not bring those charges against Silva.
The plea agreement said those possible crimes included telling people his lane assignment at the port of entry in July 2011 and not properly checking a vehicle that came through his lane in September 2011.
Silva was also charged with wire fraud against Farmers Insurance for reporting that his truck had been stolen last October. The plea agreement said he drove the truck to Mexico, then reported to the insurance company it had been stolen in downtown San Diego.
He will have to pay the insurance company $7,300 in restitution.
Silva also agreed to forfeit more than $16,000 in cash that investigators found in his Chula Vista home after his arrest.
During the hearing before Magistrate Judge William Gallo, Silva answered a series of routine questions covering the plea. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 14.
The maximum sentence for wire fraud is 20 years in prison, and the concealment charge carries a maximum term of five years. Silva is unlikely, however, to get the maximum sentence.
Gallo also approved a bond package that will allow Silva to leave the downtown federal jail where he has been since his arrest. The $50,000 bond is backed up by homes his parents own.
Silva will be required to wear a GPS bracelet as a condition of his release.

Prince Harry hits out at claims he dumped Cressida Bonas for being too 'needy'
PRINCE Harry has hit out at claims he broke up with girlfriend Cressida Bonas because she was "too needy".
Instead, he admitted the Daily Star was right yesterday in reporting it was Cressida who ended it.
Palace sources confirmed she called time on their two-year relationship because she feels too young for marriage.
Cressida, 25, also wanted to be free from the restrictions of royal life to pursue a showbiz career.
Gutted Harry, 29, had been hoping to get engaged during the summer.
The claims Cressida was too clingy for the Prince were first aired in the US and widely reported yesterday in the UK.
"Harry wants it confirmed that they have split. But he also wants it to be known this is not because Cress was needy in any way"A palace source
But a Palace source said: "Harry wants it confirmed that they have split. But he also wants it to be known this is not because Cress was needy in any way.
"In fact, it is quite the opposite. Harry felt he needed her more than she needed him."
Cressida, who is from an aristocratic background, refused to hide herself away yesterday as news of the break-up emerged.
She left her west London home in a denim jacket and black skirt looking cool and composed.
The Palace insider said that, despite Harry's disappointment, the split was "amicable" and the pair would remain the "best of friends".
Cressida now plans a career as an actress and model. She has been told she has the looks, personality and talent to become the next Scarlett Johansson, 29.
Pals say she was fed up of turning down modelling work and acting roles because of her relationship and would now seek out money-spinning offers.
Another source said: "She has been wrestling with the knowledge that she would have to choose between acting and the Royal Family.
"People talked to her about Harry and she would get cross and say: 'I don't want to get married yet.'"
Cressida recently graduated from Trinity Laban school of dance and is working in marketing in London while she considers her options.
Meanwhile, casino bosses in Las Vegas yesterday invited the newly-single Harry to return to the city for a Hangover 2-style knees-up.
They want the Prince to celebrate his 30th birthday there in September now he is an eligible bachelor again.
Steve Wynn offered him a complimentary suite and extra security staff at his luxury resort. The cheeky offer comes two years after Harry and a girl were snapped nude in his Vegas hotel suite.

{Play} Magic Rainbow Rice Letters
April 4, 2012 in All Posts, Fun With Food!, Play, Toddler Activities
Making Rainbow Rice has been on my play to-do list since we saw these beautiful images and tutorial at Share & Remember. (She also inspired our Painted Toast Activity).
If you noticed, I did say "my" list, and not "ours," because frankly, sometimes my own desire to participate in cool preschool activities overtakes any goals I have for teaching and playing with the children.
During the days leading up to St. Patrick's Day a few weeks back, I thought it would be the perfect time to try it out based on the whole rainbow connection thing.
Jane helped me shake and mix rainbow rice colors in plastic bags and glass jars.
Then we dried the rice at the lowest setting in the oven since it was raining and we couldn't dry it out in the sun.
When it finally came out, I was seriously dizzy with delight at seeing all the beautiful colors. And what a magnificent feeling when you rake your fingers through the rice and let it run through your fingers!
Jane smelled it during her exploration, too. I suppose you could scent it for an even more vibrant experience.
She enjoyed the feeling of plunging her little hands into the rice and mixing it up with her fingers, but really focused on "cooking" and filling jars with the colorful grains using a spoon.
Instead of just a sensory experience, we incorporated some letter learning, too, with the help of clear glue. The letters appeared like magic!
Jane watched me make some letters "magically" appear and then she tried it on her own. Once she started shaking, she wouldn't stop!
I found that the simplest patterns turned out the best.
So, that's draw with your glue, sift on some rainbow rice, and shake, shake, shake off the excess. So easy! This activity would work just as well with numbers or shapes or anything you or your little one can imagine.
What fun have you had with rainbow rice? We'll be posting a few more activities from this batch over the next few days, but would love more ideas! And stay tuned for a Rainbow Link Party to celebrate April showers' beautiful rainbows.
LEARN! Alphabet, colors, sensory play

LAWYERS for the alleged people-smuggling kingpin Sayed Abbas say efforts to extradite him to Australia should be rejected on humanitarian grounds.
Abbas is wanted by Australian authorities on 27 charges related to people smuggling including organising the passage of three boats intercepted en route to Christmas Island between 2009 and 2011.
The 30-year-old is suspected of being behind many more smuggling ventures, including one which resulted in the deaths of at least 200 asylum seekers when the boat they were in sank in the Sunda Strait in December 2011 as it made the perilous crossing.
But his lawyers on Wednesday argued at the South Jakarta District Court that the extradition request should be rejected on humanitarian grounds, saying Abbas was a refugee with United Nations protection.
They have previously claimed that Abbas is also a victim of mistaken identity and not the same man Australian authorities have been trying to bring to justice since first requesting his extradition since 2009.
"He's a refugee. But his UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) card has been taken by the police," Abbas' lawyer Mohammad Mahdi said on Wednesday.
"We tried to get a letter from UNHCR explaining his refugee status but up to now, we couldn't have it."
Abbas, an ethnic Hazara, arrived in Indonesia from Afghanistan in 2001 and made three failed attempts to reach Australia by boat.
It's alleged he then took to people smuggling and is believed to have been one of the most active smugglers to operate out of Indonesia in recent years.
Efforts to bring Abbas to justice in Australia almost completely unravelled two years ago when he was released from prison despite the extradition order already being in place.
Both the Indonesian Justice Department and Australian authorities were caught out when it was revealed in the media that Abbas had been released from jail.
He was arrested again in August 2011.
The extradition trial is expected to continue next week.

ARCHITECTURE; Alice Tully, Could That Really Be You?
By ROBIN POGREBIN
Published: November 13, 2005
STROLLING down Broadway near West 65th Street, you could be forgiven for not really knowing that Alice Tully Hall is even there. The entrance is tucked under an overhang; the massive building is viewed as imposing and uninviting. The corner rarely attracts people, except when crowds congregate during the New York Film Festival.
But as reimagined by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, a design firm known for its focus on conceptual artwork, Tully Hall will take on an entirely different personality.
It will be transparent, with a three-story all-glass lobby framed by the canopy of the Juilliard School's new cantilevered extension. (Dance rehearsals will be visible from the street and plaza.) ''We asked ourselves the question,'' Elizabeth Diller said: '' 'Why is it all of the other major halls have big exhibitionistic lobbies and Tully's is nearly invisible?' ''
It will be more welcoming, with an outdoor grandstand where people can meet or hang out and an information kiosk below. And it will be grander, with auditorium walls sculpted out of translucent custom-molded resin panels sheathed in wood veneer. Light will be emitted directly through the panels to create a glowing theatrical womb.
The hall -- the venue for events involving the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Juilliard, Great Performers and the Film Society -- is the first major piece of the center's $500 million transformation of West 65th Street, the performing arts center's main artery. The architects' larger plan for Lincoln Center includes a restaurant with a grass roof, a new entrance for Juilliard and a redesign of Damrosch Park.
Not so long ago, the husband-and-wife team of Ms. Diller and Ricardo Scofidio -- recently joined by Charles Renfro -- was known chiefly for its mixed-media installations and performance pieces. Among those were a 300-foot-long cloud for Swiss Expo '02 and ''Para-site,'' a Museum of Modern Art installation that used video-monitor shots and mirror reflections of visitors to explore issues of surveillance.
In recent years Diller Scofidio has emerged as the go-to firm for sleek urban architectural projects. It designed the High Line, a verdant meandering path now planned for the abandoned elevated railway along the West Side of Manhattan, for example, and the master plan for the BAM Cultural District, which intersperses new arts buildings with public spaces in the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn.
Alice Tully Hall, in its 1960's-era surroundings, is a different animal. Although dwarfed by Avery Fisher Hall across the way, it feels less intimate than its dimensions might allow and is faulted for its ''dry'' acoustics. It has not been meaningfully upgraded since it was built in 1969.
Work is to start next summer, with completion expected in the fall of 2008; the building will grow to 79,524 gross square feet from 54,876 at a cost of $100 million.
The project will test whether the architects can reconcile a high-concept approach with Lincoln Center's quotidian needs. Equally important, can the complex move beyond its image as a fortress of high culture to accommodate a more youthful sensibility and crowd?
Photos: In designing curved, illuminated walls for the new Alice Tully Hall auditorium, Diller Scofidio + Renfro imagined an Olivetti keyboard that had rubber stretched tightly over its surface. ''The ceiling, the walls, the floor, the stage -- all of these surfaces are continuous and of the same material,'' Ms. Diller said. They were also inspired by marine organisms that seem to glow from within and by techniques for expanding fabric through the use of vents. The firm has still not chosen the wood that will clad the walls -- moabi, African mahogany, anigre or makore, perhaps. It selected halogen lighting over the light-emitting-diode and fluorescent kinds and settled issues like ventilating the walls. The architects plan to protect or even improve the acoustics, sending the music on the stage into the heart of the audience. ''We're reshaping the surfaces in a way to bring the sound back to the center,'' Ms. Diller said.; By using a transparent facade, the architects hope to transform Tully Hall into an 18-hour destination where people can sip coffee at the lobby bar, eat lunch on outdoor bleachers or browse in the bookstore and gift shop as well as hear performances. ''We'd really like it to be an attractor at day and at night,'' Ms. Diller said. While much of the action at Lincoln Center currently unfolds on the plaza level above, the design brings it down to the street.; The corner bleachers are meant to be an extension of the lobby as well as a public space. The glowing backlighted information kiosk features a series of interactive monitors with information about goings-on at Lincoln Center. While this part of the campus may never approximate the grand swirl of the main fountain plaza, the architects want it to have an energy of its own.

Anti-virus software — a double-edged sword
By Jean-Claude Elias - Apr 27,2017 - Last updated at Apr 27,2017
You cannot not have one installed on your computer. And yet, life with an anti-virus programme on board is hard.
Living with computers in the pre-virus era, before say 1995, used to be simple, carefree. With the very software that is meant to fight the threats, life is now even more complicated, and not necessarily safer, what's more. There are a few reasons for that.
It is to be noted here that the term "anti-virus" is used in its broad, general meaning. To go deeper in the subject, from the purely technical point of view, one would have to make the distinction between "anti-malware", "anti-spam", "anti-hacking", "anti-phishing", "antivirus" and a few other flavours of the generic name. To keep it simple this article will just use "anti-virus" to cover all these colourful variations.
First is the rather large number of antivirus software brands around. There are so many of them that the choice for those who are not particular technically minded gets really overwhelming: Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Microsoft Windows Defender, Norton Symantec, Avira, Avast, and Eset, to name a few. The first four remain the most widely used and trusted.
Some of the above brands propose a simple, free version. Only to come to you a few days or weeks after, with pop-up windows and messages, nagging, pushing you to upgrade and to pay for the higher version. Even within one given brand, the choice of the most adequate product for your personal use is complex and often impossible without the help of a tech-savvy friend, colleague or relative.
Installing, setting up, using and updating any of the above is never an easy job. Add to that the fact that most will slow down your computer and you end up hating them. Some will block an otherwise legitimate e-mail message that may be arriving in your mailbox. Others will block good, legitimate software applications from running or working correctly, without you even realising why. Others will simply prevent you from installing new software at all, from the very start, suspecting it of being malicious.
The extra burden that most antivirus products put on your computer is the reason why many consumers get the most powerful machine they can afford to buy, with substantial processing muscle and memory size, just to compensate for the technical resources that the antivirus will eat up to exist inside your computer.
There's worse. Last year there were rumours on the web that one of the well-known antivirus makers was responsible for creating and releasing a virus that the maker itself alone was able to detect and block. There was never a way to verify these rumours and to date they remain, well, rumours. For most IT pundits and web analysts, however, they were not totally unfounded.
Can you do without antivirus at all? Certainly not, if you are using e-mail or browsing the web, which is probably the least that any of us does with a computer. Despite the hassle, the annoyance and the burden, it would be just too dangerous not to have an anti-virus installed on your machine. The threat is real and the offenders can strike any day if you leave your computer unprotected. For even with the shield, the protection is never 100 per cent.
I came to appreciate Microsoft Windows Defender with time. It is light, strong enough, and because it is made by the same company that makes Windows, the two go together rather nicely. And oh, it is legitimately free.
The only shortcoming of Windows Defender is that it cannot be installed on a server computer. But for the private user and the home consumer who operate a laptop or a desktop computer this is not a relevant question, understandably.
Related Articles
In movies, in the news and in real life, stories about computer hacking abound. Should you worry?
What we have seen so far from cloud computing may be only the tip of the iceberg.
The boom in smartphones among often careless users has made happy hunting for hackers, whose virus attacks and hijacking of unprotected mobiles are multiplying, experts warn.

First, anyone who defaults to Microsoft defender is a complete moron. Not sure how you managed to turn on your computer to type this awful and ill informed article. Go back to writing in depth journalism on kitten parades or something.

DWTS Cheryl Burke Interviewed About Jack Osbourne, Their Waltz, The New Pros, And More
Awww, "Mondays" aren't quite so bad when it's dance time!! And for starters today, TV Guide has published a new Dancing With The Stars interview with Cheryl Burke. She talks all about partner Jack Osbourne, the judging last week, the new pros, and more. Below is a take for what Jack and Cheryl have been working on this week for their Waltz, if she thinks Jack can get a perfect score, and how he has surprised her the most so far.
What are you guys working on for this week?
Burke: We're doing a slow waltz. So far it's going great. It's definitely more of an emotional dance. That's what we're working through. We're just trying to get more of the emotional side without bursting out laughing. … I just want people to see… that there is a real, vulnerable person deep down inside, even though it's hard for Jack to show that. … There's a lot of dances we've done that have been great, and each number tells a story. But this number for sure is more authentic. And it's definitely one of his best.
Do you think you and Jack could get a perfect score this season?
Burke: I don't know. We're just trying to maybe get a 9 soon. We've been getting 8s a lot, so it'd be nice to actually bump it up. … It's not so much about the numbers of the scores, it's about the quality of his dancing and making sure that he improves.
Which celebrity has been the most surprising to you?
Burke: Honestly, Jack. Not to be biased, but Jack has been an amazing shock to me. I had no expectations with him whatsoever, and he's really proved to people that he is trying hard and he can actually dance.
I like Jack and this partnership much like I loved Cheryl and Rob Kardashian. I hope they have a great dance tonight!

The most prolific use of the term Grimoire comes from the world of Ivalice. First mentioned in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, the Gran Grimoire is a powerful tome of magic. Grimoires may also be purchased in Final Fantasy XII, entitling the party to increased benefits of different sorts.
Final Fantasy IVEdit
In the Advance version, Grimoires are item used to summon the Lunar version of the summons.
These items can be obtained from defeating the respective Lunar summons:
- Grimoire - Book that summons a monster. You will not know which until you try it!
- Grimoire LA - Book that calls forth Lunar Asura. When used on Zeromus EG, it will inflict Poison.
- Grimoire LB - Book that calls forth Lunar Bahamut.
- Grimoire LD - Book that calls forth Lunar Dragon. When used on Zeromus EG, it will inflict Toad status.
- Grimoire LI - Book that calls forth Lunar Ifrit. When used on Zeromus EG, it will inflict Stop.
- Grimoire LL - Book that calls forth Lunar Leviathan. When used on Zeromus EG, it will cast Slow.
- Grimoire LO - Book that calls forth Lunar Odin.
- Grimoire LR - Book that calls forth Lunar Ramuh.
- Grimoire LS - Book that calls forth Lunar Shiva.
- Grimoire LT - Book that calls forth Lunar Titan. When used on Zeromus EG, it will inflict permanent Mini status.
Final Fantasy XIEdit
The Grimoire is the Scholar's guide to magic in Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess. Upon attaining the Grimoire, a key item, the player can begin their studies as a Schultz Scholar. The Grimoire is not a weapon as it has been in other games; it is a copy of an ancient magical tome augmented with various military strategies. The astral properties of the Grimoire allow the possessor to command it to appear and disappear at will. Scholars in Schultz's School of Military Theory call upon the pages of the Grimoire to cast magic of both the Dark Arts and the Light Arts.
PlayOnline's descriptionEdit
If your enemy is strong, weaken him with dark magic.
If your enemy is weak, attack him with elemental magic.
If your allies are strong, support them with enhancement magic.
If your allies claim victory, prepare them for the next battle with healing magic.
With the musings and records of a hundred years of scholars crammed between its covers, the grimoire had exceeded its original definition as a tactician's manual, and developed into an encyclopedic source of knowledge. The task of memorizing its contents had become a mammoth task for any aspiring scholar, which defeated the Schultz philosophy of practicality and utility.
The person to solve this dilemma was none other than Gunther Schultz II, direct descendant of the famous martial theorist himself. Schultz empowered the grimoire with astral properties, enabling the scholar to command the book to disappear and reappear at will. This allowed proponents of the Schultz school to consult the grimoire at any time, significantly expanding their realm of movement. This flexibility would prove invaluable in the time of the Crystal War...
An inquiring mind and boundless curiosity—these are the traits one must possess if one wishes to tread the path of the scholar.
Final Fantasy XIIEdit
The Monographs appear in the Bazaar as "Forgotten Grimoires". Monographs make enemies drop additional loot they wouldn't otherwise. In addition there are two loot items called the Grimoire Aidhed and the Grimoire Togail.
Final Fantasy XIVEdit
Grimoires are weapon for Arcanist class and both of its Soul Crystal jobs, Summoner and Scholar.
Final Fantasy Tactics AdvanceEdit
The Grimoire (also known as the Gran Grimoire) has changed Marche's hometown, St. Ivalice, into a new and fantastical Ivalice created solely out of the children's dreams.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the RiftEdit
As the game's title implies, much of the storyline centers around the two grimoires held by the protagonist Luso Clemens and a mysterious assassin, Illua. The grimoire Luso used is the Grimoire of the Rift, while it is unknown what Grimoire Illua possesses.
Though the term "Grimoire" is sometimes used as a common name for any magickal tome, including those that the Scholar job uses, the pair that Luso and Illua hold share a powerful secret.
Vagrant StoryEdit
Aside from the Gran Grimoire, grimoires are used to learn magic spells, and are found scattered around Leá Monde. Whenever Ashley Riot uses a grimoire, the spell will be committed to his memory, and the grimoire used will disappear. Most Grimoires have French names.
|List of grimoires:
grimoire is a textbook of magic. Such books typically include instructions on how to create magical objects like talismans and amulets, how to perform magical spells, charms and divination and also how to summon or invoke supernatural entities such as angels, spirits, and demons.A

Afram River, river, in southern Ghana, western Africa. It rises 16 miles (26 km) northwest of Mampong and flows southeast into Lake Volta (formerly the Afram was a tributary of the Volta River). The Afram is about 55 miles (90 km) long. The river is important for fishing, despite its running dry from October to March, and it collects nearly all the drainage of the Kwahu Plateau. In the river valley the terrain is very flat and often flooded and swampy. Since the project to dam the Volta River for hydroelectric power (begun 1961; finished 1965), the lower Afram has become a busy arm of the impounded Lake Volta, serving as an important waterway.

This should be played in the Texas Ranger P.A. system
Someday, when that someday will be I don't know, but someday a big league manager is going to have the brains and the confidence to do away with the role of the closer. Maybe that day will be when Mariano Rivera retires, which may not be for another ten years but I hope that whoever is hired by the Mets makes on of his first command decisions that the day of saving your best arm for just the ninth inning is over. The only team that can still say they have a legitimate pitcher to finish a game are the Highlanders and until mangers like Texas' Ron Washington, get this though their thick skulls, they just might win more baseball games than they lose.
If Nolan Ryan is going to be the new tough guy in the Rangers front office when he claims that it's time to re-evaluate the way bullpens are used and develop starting pitchers who should be conditioned to pitch deep into their starts, he might like to have a little sit down with Washington today before game two and let him know, when the game is on the line and you feel you've gotten all you can out of your starter, bring in the best arm you have in the pen.
I'm not looking to kill Ron Washington here as he managed the way every big league manager would have in that eighth inning, plus Darren Oliver and Darren O'Day needed to step up and how in the world does Ian Kinsler have a brain fart in the eighth getting picked off?
The Rangers had the Highlanders on the ropes and bleeding but they lacked that killer instinct, that solid knockout punch, hopefully they can turn the page and go out today and tattoo Phil Hughes, if not, the who gives a shit what Cliff Lee does in Game 3?

Four-star Pennsylvania safety Dondi Kirby is still focused on five schools and he has scheduled official visits to two of them.
The 6-foot-3, 180-pound athlete from Monroeville (Pa.) Gateway missed his senior season with an ACL injury but that didn't deter the schools that were already interested in him.
Kirby has narrowed his focus to Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland and Southern Cal, and he has now set up trips to a pair of those schools.
Article Continues Below
"I'm going to Illinois on December 11 and Iowa on December 17," Kirby said on Monday night.
"Those are the only ones I have so far. My official to Maryland is in January sometime as well as USC. I'm not sure about Florida yet."
When asked whether he is absolutely committed to taking an official visit to Florida, Kirby replied, "I think so."
He went on to say that those five schools are basically even with one another and he will start to get an idea as to which ones he favors over the others after he starts visiting.
The last coach Kirby spoke to was running backs coach DeAndre Smith from Illinois. Kirby said no coaches have scheduled in-home visits with him yet.

5 Years : From Nov 2012 to Nov 2017
Regulated gas prices in France may rise between 2% and 3% from Jan. 1, French daily Le Figaro reports Thursday, without citing its sources.
A rise of between 2% and 3% is being studied by the state, France's energy regulation commission and GDF Suez SA (GSZ.FR), le Figaro reports.
Speaking on French radio RTL Thursday, Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said the government is negotiating with GDF Suez to try to alter the mechanism and the contracts that determine increases in regulated gas prices.
"I can't confirm the exact figure, but it's true that we are regularly confronted with these price increases linked to the contracts indexed to the price of oil," said Mr. Ayrault.

One of the things—probably the most important thing—I love about the iPad is that you can use it pretty much anywhere. I love my Macs too, but I mostly prefer to work sitting in an easy chair or rocker, on a comfortable couch, or laying back on a bed, as opposed to sitting in a task chair at my office workstation. It's the "computing anywhere" attribute that really made me an iPad devotee.
I use mostly iPevo PadPillow stands—full-size or Lite—to support the device hands-free at a comfortable orientation when seated, and an iProp "beanbag" type for in-bed or resting the tablet upright on other uneven surfaces.
However, a different iPad support solution that will also work in a wide variety of venues is the new Tablift stand, especially suited to use when in (or on) a bed or on the couch reading, watching videos, or viewing recipes in the kitchen or instructions in a workshop, and so forth, in hands-dirty or messy mode.
Unlike the PadPillows and iProp, Tablift does not rest on your lap or legs or oblige you to cast your eyes downward to view the screen, although the lap is a better compromise for typing anything beyond extreme short form.
The Tablift is designed to hold your iPad in a stable and optimal viewing orientation regardless of any unevenness of the surface you are resting on. The stand's patent pending design uses four independently adjustable "gooseneck" type legs that allow it to stand level and stable on virtually any cushioned surface, and with a relatively low center of gravity that resists tipping over. The legs can be coiled up and bunched together to make the unit more compact for storage or packing along when you go mobile, although it's still somewhat heavy and bulky as a take-along, and is at its best in home settings
The slotted iPad mounting base is constructed from high-impact ABS plastic with a matte finish, while the legs are made of a double re-enforced metal spring core, coated with a matching matte polyolefin finish.
The tablift, created by Scott Blevinsow, is manufactured and assembled in the USA using parts sourced domestically. It comes packed in a colorful box, with the illustrated assembly and configuration instructions handily printed on the closure flap. Actually, the setup is so intuitively simple that most folks won't need a lot of instruction.
Mounting the iPad in the Tablift is quick and easy. Select the desired angle orientation slot, insert the iPad, and fasten it in place using the bungee cord attached hook; simple and virtually instantaneous. Demounting it is even easier, and when in place the iPad is very secure; you can even hold the rig upside down and shake it.
Adjusting the legs will depend on variables of support surface, but is also quick and easy. just bend the legs to whatever shape yields the desired support to suit specific circumstances.
The tablift folks tell me the three most common questions they get asked are:
- "Can you use tablift with a case?" The answer in most instances is "no," since cases can add bulk to a tablet, making it too fat to slide into the Tablift. However, thin or shell-type cases like the Mummy Case I use with my iPad 2, work just fine.
- As for tippiness, instability with the tablift is usually caused by insufficient leg separation. While in photos the TabLift looks like it might indeed be a bit tippy, I didn't find it so in practice, even with the leg stance set less than a foot apart front to back. My iPad 2, which is middle-of-the-road for iPads weight-wise, exhibited no tendency to overbalance the stand, and I wouldn't anticipate that even the heaviest (so far) iPad models—the generation 3 and 4 machines—would be any problem either.
- Queries about what tablets the tablift works with, are pretty easy to answer, since virtually any iPad, iPad mini, Android tablet (eg:
Samsung Galaxy, Google Nexus), Amazon Kindle Fire, Windows tablet (eg: Microsoft Surface 2), HP WebOS, etc., indeed any tablet with an edge that will fit within the 10mm wide slots will work just fine.
Tablift is impressively well-finished, and appears to be made using high quality materials and to high standards of craftsmanship.
In the not so cool department, as I alluded to briefly above, the Tablift is an excellent solution for hands-free viewing, but it's less successful as a typing support. It's solid and steady enough, but while the leaning-toward-you position is the nearside slot, and bolt upright the middle one, the canted backwards slot, logically the rearmost of the three, unfortunately positions the iPad screen some two and a half inches inset from the facing edge of the device mounting base, with the two empty slots constituting a formidable obstacle to comfortable typing and cursor manipulation. Note the ergonomically horrific wrist angle in the shot at right.
Leaned back mode is also the ideal orientation for the iPad when in use while sitting in a chair, on a sofa, or even on the floor.
Consequently, I'll give tablift a 4 out of 5 rating for use as mainly a hands-free viewing support platform for iPad. However due to the poor ergonomics, I can only give it a 2 out of 5 as a typing platform.

population growth
In an ideal environment, one that has no limiting factors, populations grow at a geometric rate or an exponential rate. Human populations, in which individuals live and reproduce for many years and in which reproduction is distributed throughout the year, grow exponentially. Exponential population growth can be determined by dividing the change in population size (Δ N) by the time...
social change
The simplest type of one-directional change is linear, occurring when the degree of social change is constant over time. Another type of social change is that of exponential growth, in which the percentage of growth is constant over time and the change accelerates correspondingly. Population growth and production growth are known to follow this pattern over certain time frames.

Airdrie hockey star reflects on first pro hockey season
Thursday, Jun 19, 2014 10:23 am
Airdrie native Ty Rattie is glad to be back home after his first season in the world of professional hockey.
However, the 21-year-old would of have liked his year with the American Hockey League�s Chicago Wolves to last a little longer, after the team was knocked out by the Toronto Marlies in the second round of the AHL�s Calder Cup playoffs on May 16.
�It was disappointing to not be able to go for the Calder Cup title,� Rattie said. �But at the same time, our team had a very successful season as we won the Midwest Division, and I personally felt that I progressed as a player.�
�Now that the season is over, it�s great to be back in Airdrie to see my family and friends once again,� he added. �I wouldn�t want to come back to any other place.�
In the playoffs, the Wolves were pushed to the limit by the Rochester Americans, before winning the best-of-five series in the fifth and deciding contest on May 4 by a score of 4-2.
After that tightly contested series with the Americans, Rattie and the rest of the Wolves were no match for the Marlies, as it was swept aside in four straight games.
�That series with Rochester was a back-and-forth one,� Rattie said. �We really stuck together as a team, and since we knew that the fifth and the final game was going to be in our home rink (the Allstate Arena) in Chicago, we really liked our chances to advance.�
�Toronto was a really good team that didn�t have many weak spots, and they also had a really good goalie in Drew MacIntyre,� he added. �They caught us after we had a real tiring series, and they took advantage of us.�
Rattie, who led the Wolves in scoring during the regular season with 48 points in 72 games, had three points in nine playoff games during the post-season for the affiliate club of the National Hockey League�s (NHL�s) St. Louis Blues.
However, the six-foot, 185-pound right winger noted that a lot of his time on the ice was spent doing the little things to help the team succeed.
�If it�s scoring goals, setting up plays, or blocking shots, I will do anything to help the team succeed,� Rattie said. �The point totals may not show that, but I was doing everything that I could to help to contribute to our success.�
�Having had that experience of having long playoff runs in the WHL (Western Hockey League) with the Portland Winterhawks, I feel like that helped me a bit entering this post-season,� he added.
�However, the difference between junior hockey and pro hockey is big, and I had to approach it a little bit different to hold my own.�
Rattie is now focused on his off-ice training before heading to the Blues training camp in September, as the second-round pick of the team in 2011 tries to make the NHL as a full-time player before the start of the 2014/15 season.
�My biggest focus will be on weight training,� Rattie said. �I�m at 185 lbs. right now, and I would like to be at around 190 lbs. before I head down to St. Louis in late August.�
�After having a brief taste of the NHL for two games in April with the Blues, I�m even more motivated to be with the Blues on a permanent basis,� he added. �I want to be there right from the start next year, I�m working my hardest to make that happen.�

In August, C.J. Brown sat at a table in the front of Glazer Auditorium in Gossett Football Team House answering questions at the Terrapins football team's media day.
Reporters touched on a variety of subjects: How did the quarterback's knee feel? What were the expectations for coach Randy Edsall's third year? What did he think about the talent on the roster?
Then, bowl eligibility came up. The Terps fell short of the six-win threshold in three of the previous four years, but Brown made it clear that the postseason was the goal. But at the same time, Brown acknowledged the drawbacks of playing football during the holiday season.
"I haven't been home for a Thanksgiving since I've been in college, and all the local guys get to go home. You go to a bowl game, you might not be home for Christmas either," Brown said. "It comes with the territory. It's a good feeling to be around the guys. The bowl game's just a great experience overall; everyone wants to go there. Everyone knows the gifts and the experience of going to a different place and staying in hotels."
The Terps will check in to the Mayflower Renaissance Hotel in Washington on Dec. 23 and stay until the Military Bowl on Dec. 27 in Annapolis. With only three participants and 16 redshirts left from the Terps' last bowl team in 2010, it will be a new experience for many of the players. And that experience includes being away from home on Christmas for the first time.
"That's one of the disadvantages of coming up here," said cornerback Will Likely, a Belle Glade, Fla., native. "You know you're going to be away from your family, so you just got to suck it up and get used to it."
Bowl week also provides the Terps with free time they haven't had all season long. After trying to balance football with the different elements of school, late December will be about football and only football as the Terps prepare to face an explosive Marshall team.
And while there's extra focus on the game, staying in a swanky hotel in northwest Washington with unexpected time to kill presents its own management challenges.
"I think it could be [a distraction]," Brown said. "If you let your mind wander, if you don't know the day-to-day process of what you need to do and focus, making sure you're in on time at night with curfew and things like that and not just getting wrapped up in the whole bowl week. … You're not living in a dorm; you're staying in a nice hotel, getting all this nice food, just making sure you're staying on top of your game."
Brown was a backup quarterback in the 2010 Military Bowl, in which the Terps beat East Carolina, 51-20. He had suffered a broken collarbone in the second game of the 2010 season, and the practices leading up to the bowl game were his first since early September. So for him, the lead-up to the game was about getting back on the field and contributing to the winning effort.
Still, the then-redshirt freshman was sometimes in awe of the events surrounding the week and the game at RFK Stadium.
"I think the biggest thing is I kind of know what to expect the week leading up, what the practices are going to be like, not where I was younger my first time going, where I was kind of wide-eyed vision, not really knowing the day-to-day process of staying in a hotel every night, going to practice in the morning and coming back," Brown said. "It's just football every day."
Brown said he's talked to some of the younger players about what the experience will be like, and the veterans who were around three years ago will do their best to help guide the team through the Christmas holiday. A season full of firsts for the Terps — under Edsall, his first winning season and bowl game — will add another for many in spending Christmas away from home.
"This is going to be my first year," wide receiver Amba Etta-Tawo said. "It's a good way. At least I'm doing something I love to do, so I can't really complain."

Campbell added that Obama's effort toward the end of the effort to reach an agreement was counterproductive.
"He ran to a teleprompter every chance he could get to excoriate the people with whom he was negotiating, rather than stay quiet as previous presidents have done in similar circumstances in order to facilitate a deal," Campbell wrote. "That was counterproductive."
Campbell said the deal came together between the House and Senate only after Obama "stepped out of the negotiations." Campbell said that it was a failure on the part of the White House that Speaker John BoehnerJohn Andrew BoehnerTrump's pick for Federal Reserve chief is right choice at right time The two-party system is dying — let's put it out of its misery One year later, neither party can get past last year's election MORE walked out of talks with the administration.
"This is not about ideology," he wrote. "The President has the right to advocate for his positions. This is about competency for doing the job or lack thereof."
Campbell said he voted for the final agreement because Congress could not allow a government-made financial tragedy, but also because the deal is a real step toward reducing spending. He said Republicans have shown that they have changed the debate in Washington to one about spending cuts, not spending increases.

Bank of Israel Offers Southern Residents More Credit Relief
The Bank of Israel has ordered banks to allow private customers in communities surrounding Gaza to exceed their personal approved credit limit by NIS 5,000. Businesses will also be allowed to exceed their limit by NIS 5,000, or 10%, whichever is higher. The move aims to help area residents cope with economic difficulties that have resulted from the fighting.
Banks customarily charge interest rates of between prime and 5.7%, and prime and 9.6% for use of a pre-approved credit limit. With the prime interest rate currently at 3.25%, customers face a charge of more than 12% interest for pre-approved credit. And as this rate could be even higher if the pre-approved limit is exceeded, it is generally advisable to arrange for pre-approval if more credit is required, or to take out a loan to cover the difference.
Banks have recently offered loans with special terms to customers in the south, who could be facing special problems due to recurrent interruption of business activity in the area. Simultaneously, the supervisor of banks has been making moves to offer relief to residents of the south whose checks could begin to bounce. Sources say that people will not be penalized for bouncing checks so long as the conflict continues.
The regulator will be keeping an eye on January 10, when most salaried workers receive their wages. In the event that many employers are unable to pay wages, the regulator will consider additional relief measures.

Introducing the Sun Fire V125 Server
This Sun Fire V125 Server Getting Started Guide provides a basic hardware, firmware and software introduction to the Sun Fire V125 server.
This guide also includes links to server resources, instructions for planning installation of the server, information about locating server cable connections, server configuration information, and preinstalled software information.
The Sun Fire V125 server is a RoHS-compliant, UltraSPARC® IIIi based system that is rack mountable. The server comes with the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS), the Java Enterprise System, and the Advanced Lights Out Manager software preinstalled as a software image on the boot drive.
TABLE 1 summarizes some of the Sun Fire V125 server features.:
For a detailed summary of features, available configurations, and compatible options, go to:
For detailed information about this server, go to:
See the Sun System Handbook.
This section contains a list of tasks that you must complete during the installation process. Each task includes a reference to the appropriate instructions. Each task must be completed in order.
1. Preparing the site according to the power, clearance, and environmental requirements.
If you are installing the server into a new Sun rack, you must fully prepare the site for the installation. If you are installing the server into an existing rack, you must conduct some site preparation to satisfy the additional power and environmental requirements. See Site Preparation for specific instructions.
2. Verifying that you have received all of the components.
The Sun Fire V125 server ships in several packages. See Shipping Kit Contents for a list of the shipping kit.
3. Installing the server into the rack.
4. Setting up a console to communicate with the server.
You can communicate with the Sun Fire server using either a TIP connection from another server or an ASCII terminal connected to the SERIAL MGT port.
To set up the console, refer to the Sun Fire V125 Server Installation Guide for instructions.
5. Powering on the server and configuring the preinstalled software.
The Solaris 10 OS and the Java Enterprise System is preinstalled on the server. When you power the server on, you will automatically be taken through the Solaris OS configuration procedure. However, you must first go to the preinstalled software site to download and install the latest updates and patches.
To power on the server and configure the preinstalled software, refer to the Sun Fire V125 Server Installation Guide for instructions.
6. Setting the desired OpenBoot PROM configuration options.
The initial boot will test the entire system. You can change the level of testing by using the OpenBoot PROM commands and configuration variables. To change the boot test level and other boot variables, refer to the OpenBoot PROM Enhancements for Diagnostic Operation.
7. Loading additional software from the Solaris OS media kit (optional).
The Solaris OS media kit includes several CDs containing software to help you operate, configure, and administer your server. Refer to the documentation provided with the media kit for a complete listing of included software and detailed instructions.
Before you install the Sun Fire server, you must prepare the site. This section includes information and links to information you will need to prepare the site.
TABLE 2 shows the physical specifications for the Sun Fire V125 server.
You can operate and store the Sun Fire V125 system safely in the conditions detailed in TABLE 3.
5° C - 35° C maximum ambient temperature is derated by 2° C per 500 m altitude change above 500 m
Your environmental control system must provide intake air for the server that complies with the limits specified in Environmental Requirements.
To avoid overheating, do not direct warmed air:
Note - When you receive your system, leave it in the environment in which you will install it for 24 hours. This process prevents thermal shock and condensation.
The operating environmental limits in TABLE 3 reflect the limits to which the systems have been tested to meet all functional requirements. Operating computer equipment in extremes of temperature or humidity increases the failure rate of hardware components. To minimize the chance of component failure, use the server within the optimal temperature and humidity ranges.
An ambient temperature range of 21°C - 23°C (69.9° F - 73.4° F) is optimal for system reliability. At 22°C (71.6° F) it is easy to maintain safe relative humidity levels. Operating in this temperature range provides a buffer in the event of the environmental support systems failing.
Ambient relative humidity levels between 45% and 50% are the most suitable for data processing operations to:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is easily generated and less easily dissipated in areas where the relative humidity is below 35%, and becomes critical when levels drop below 30%.
The Sun Fire V125 server is self-cooling when operated in still air. Follow these guidelines:
TABLE 4 shows the amount of acoustic noise generated by the Sun Fire V125 Server.
The table shows the operating power for the Sun Fire V125 server.
The estimated power consumed in a fully powered server depends on the configuration of the server. For more information on calculating power consumption, go to the following site:
To calculate the heat generated by a server so that you can estimate the heat your cooling system must dissipate, convert the figure for the system's power requirement from Watts to BTU/hr. A general formula for doing this is to multiply the power requirement figure in Watts by 3.412.
The server is supplied with the components described in the following list:
Note - The contents of the shipping kit might vary, depending on any options that you have ordered. Make sure that all the basic parts, as described in the list, are present in the shipping kit. If any component is missing, contact your Sun sales representative.
Before you attach and route the cables, become familiar with the location of the power inlets and I/O ports on the back of the servers. FIGURE 1 shows the back panel for the Sun Fire V125 server.
The Sun Fire V125 server has a single AC inlet on the back of the server. As long as the server is connected to a power source, the server is in Standby power mode. The only way to turn the server fully off is to remove the server from the power source by unplugging the power cable.
The Sun Fire V125 server has two autonegotiating 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet system domain ports. All the Ethernet ports use a standard RJ-45 connector, the transfer rates for which are given in TABLE 6.
In addition, each server has one 10BASE-T Ethernet management domain interface, labelled NET MGT. For information on configuring this port for managing the server with ALOM, see the Sun Advanced Lights Out Management (ALOM) 1.6 Administration Guide.
The server has two serial ports, labelled SERIAL MGT and 10101. The SERIAL MGT port accepts an RJ-45 connector. Use this port only for server management. The port labeled 10101 accepts a DB-9 connector. Use this port for general-purpose serial data transfer.
The default serial connection settings are listed in TABLE 7.
If you need to connect to the SERIAL MGT port using either a DB-9 or a DB-25 connector, use an adapter to perform the crossovers. See the Sun System Handbook for more information about crossovers.
The server has two USB ports for attaching supported devices.
The SCSI port is a mulitmode Ultra160 SCSI interface. To operate at Ultra160 SCSI speeds, the port must be in LVD mode. If a single-ended device is connected to the server, it automatically switches to single-ended mode.
Your Sun Fire V125 server is shipped with the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) and the Java Enterprise System software. You must configure the preinstalled software as part of the installation process. However, before you begin the configuration process, go to:
This site contains the latest information about the preinstalled software and links to the software updates and patches you must install.
This product ships with OpenBoot PROM 4.22.17 or a subsequently compatible version of the OpenBoot PROM. OpenBoot PROM diagnostics are enabled by default. This ensures complete diagnostic test coverage on the initial boot and after error reset events. This change results in increased boot time.
To change the system defaults and diagnostic settings after the initial boot, refer to OpenBoot PROM Enhancements for Diagnostic Operation at:
The Sun Fire V125 server ships with the Sun Advanced Lights Out Manager (ALOM) software installed. The system console is directed to ALOM by default and is configured to show server console information on startup.
ALOM enables you to monitor and control your server over either a serial connection (using the SERIAL MGT port), or Ethernet connection (using the NET MGT port). For information about configuring an Ethernet connection, refer to the Sun Advanced Lights Outs Manager Software (ALOM) 1.6 Administration Guide.
Note - The ALOM serial port, labeled SERIAL MGT, is for server management only. If you need a general purpose serial port, use the serial port labeled 10101.
ALOM can be configured to send email notification of hardware failures and other events related to the server or to ALOM.
The ALOM circuitry uses standby power from the server. This means that:

Learn how to cook a beef tenderloin, from A to Z.
Though they might feel intimidated at first, novice cooks can rest assured that learning how to cook a beef tenderloin is not a technique reserved only for the masters. A classic American roast, beef tenderloin is prized for its sublime tenderness and intense flavor. It is the primal cut from which the popular "filet mignon" and "chateaubriand" cuts are taken.
Because of its comparatively steep price, beef tenderloin is usually reserved for special occasions, like holidays and weddings. However, busier home cooks can roast the entire tenderloin on the weekends and then use slices of it during the week to prepare quick dinners, such as steak salads and cheese steak heroes. Read on to learn how to cook a beef tenderloin to perfection.
A whole tenderloin usually weighs between 4 and 8 pounds. Beef tenderloin is cut from the short loin of the cow, a section from the lower back between the ribs and the round. When the short loin is cut as an entire strip, it is called "tenderloin." When sliced into individual steaks, it is called "filet mignon" and "chateaubriand." Dry heat cooking methods work well with naturally tender lean beef tenderloin.
Beef tenderloin is a healthy alternative to other beef cuts. According to Peer Trainer, a 3-ounce serving of beef tenderloin contains 185 calories and 9 grams of fat. The same size portion has only 6 grams of saturated fat, more than 20 grams of protein and is rich in essential B vitamins. The American Heart Association recommends beef tenderloin and other cuts from the short loin.
If purchased trimmed from a butcher, beef tenderloin is a costly piece of meat. A cost-saving alternative is to buy vacuum-packed tenderloin at a local supermarket. Home cooks can then make the meat oven-ready, just as a butcher would.
Using a sharp utility knife, trim the surface fat. Tuck the thin tail end of the beef under and tie it to make it even in thickness with the rest of the roast. Trim away the silver skin extending down the length of the roast. The meat is now ready to cook.
Cooking professionals and beef aficionados agree that tenderloin cooked past the medium rare stage is dry and bland. According to the national Beef Checkoff Program and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), beef tenderloin is medium rare and safe for consumption when the internal temperature has reached 145 F. Using a meat thermometer is the safest and most accurate way to determine the tenderloin's doneness.
Oven-roasting is an easy and foolproof method for preparing beef tenderloin. The USDA recommended oven temperature is 425 F for a 4- to 6-pound whole tenderloin.
Remove the trimmed beef from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to cooking. Blot the surface dry with paper towels. Coat the tenderloin with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Brown the meat in hot oil in a heavy roasting pan or cast-iron skillet large enough to contain the meat in one piece. Sear the meat on all sides for approximately 10 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh or dried herbs and place in the oven until the meat's internal temperature registers 135 F on an instant read thermometer.
Remove the meat from the oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest on a warmed serving platter. Keep in mind that as the meat rests, the internal temperature will continue to rise 5 F to 10 F.
The Food Network recommends stuffing the beef tenderloin prior to roasting to add moisture, boost flavor and create a more dramatic presentation when serving. Run a sharp utility knife lengthwise down the roast without cutting through to the other side.
Sear the roast on the stove top for about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully push open this "pocket" to add ingredients, such as garlic slivers, bleu cheese, chunks of lobster meat or roasted red peppers. Use butcher's twine to tie the roast every 3 inches, then roast until the internal temperature reaches 145 F. Remove the roast from the oven, wrap it in aluminum foil, and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before serving.
Like roasting, grilling is a highly recommended method for preparing beef tenderloin. Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to its maximum heat setting. Brush the meat with oil and rub coarse sea salt and coarsely crushed whole black or green pepper corns into its entire surface. Place on the grill and sear the meat for about 5 minutes on each side. Move the meat to the coolest part of the grill and continue cooking for an additional 40 to 60 minutes, turning occasionally. Once the meat reaches 135 F, move it to a warm platter and allow it to rest for 15 minutes prior to slicing.
When handling raw meat, always be sure to follow proper food safety guidelines. For more information on safe beef handling practices, including safe defrosting, cooking and storage methods, refer to the USDA Beef Fact Sheet.
