- Figment Klimoski ChangEvery year, we look forward to the FIGMENT Festival, which brings a weekend of free participatory art to Governors Island. This week, the festival announced a sparkling selection of 2013 pavilion finalists - all made from recycled and reused materials. There are many amazing projects to choose from, like Jason Klimoski and Lesley Chang's "Head in the Clouds" seen above, so choosing the winner will not be an easy task!1
- Figment HuycKurlanDowling"Fodder Form Pavilion," by HuycKurlanDowling, is the only edible entry in the contest. Made from plant starches, the giant block is slowly eaten away by goats or ponies, creating a shady grotto for human visitors to enjoy.2
- Figment MTWTHFSSEd Blumer and Pete Storey designed "For Rent" under the name MTWTHFSS. The premise of their pavilion is borrow instead of buy. "For Rent" is made entirely from rented materials suspended on a crane. Visitors can relax beneath the adjustable canopy that changes shape as the crane is moved. After, the pieces are returned to the respective vendors, yielding zero waste.3
- Figment Maria MingallonUsing toilet paper and cardboard tubes, Maria Mingallon's "Enneper Pavilion," transforms the rolls into an undulating organic shaped pavilion that provides both shade and shelter from rain.4
- Figment Cloud in a treeThe final entry also plays on the idea of clouds, called "A cloud, in a Tree," by SAMPLES. Suspended from one of the island's grand trees, the canopy, made from recycled boat sails, provides a suggested pavilion. Without walls, the cloud-sail gives shade, while giving uninterrupted views of the island and adjacent skyline.5
- figmentThe five designs will be under a jury's scrutiny, having a chance to respond to critiques before submitting final proposals at the end of September.6
- FigmentFrom a cloud hanging from a tree, to a wave of recycled toilet paper tubes, deciding a finalist for the City of Dreams Pavilion will be a tough task for the lucky jury.7

First MEMS gyro smartphone to ship in June; it won't be the last
4 comments
PORTLAND, Ore. The industry's worst-kept secret is that the first mobile handset to pack a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gyroscope will roll next month. Analyst speculation on the vendor has ranged from Apple (with the iPhone 4G) to HTC and ST-Ericsson, but regardless of who is first, every major smartphone vendor is predicted to follow suit by 2012.
Gyroscopes will become ubiquitous in smartphones, according to analysts, because gyros can support new user interface modes, enhance the online gaming experience, perform indoor navigation by virtue of dead reckoning and enable augmented-reality applications that overlay information about a target when a phone's digital camera is pointed at it.
Just as the Apple iPhone opened the eyes of handset vendors to how a MEMS accelerometer could harness motion to change from portrait to landscape views, the MotionPlus game controller for Nintendo's Wii "has stimulated the imagination of handset makers" by proving "how well a six-axis solutiona three-axis accelerometer plus three-axis gyroscopeworks by making the motion recognition smoother and more precise," said iSuppli analyst Jérémie Bouchaud.
With accelerometers alone, said Doug Vargha, director of marketing for InvenSense's gaming and 3-D user interface business unit, "you can either get a really noisy output that is responsive, or you can get a clean output that's sluggish. But when you combine an accelerometer with a gyro, you get a clean output that is responsive. The accelerometer alone can't tell the difference between motion and gravity, but with the addition of a gyro you can immediately sense the onset of motion, making the user interface more responsive and free from artifacts."
InvenSense provides the chip for the Wii MotionPlus add-on gyroscope, which snaps onto the bottom of the remote, adding the ability to detect angular momentum in all three dimensions (complementing the accelerometer's ability to measure linear acceleration).
The overall MEMS gyroscope market, the bulk of which is for image stabilization in digital cameras, will rise from $447 million in 2009 to more than $763 million by 2012, according to iSuppli. Will Strauss, founder of Forward Concepts Co. (Tempe, Ariz.), predicts that the worldwide market for MEMS gyroscopes in mobile handsets will rise from zero last year to $38 million this year and more than $70 million by 2012.
MEMS gyroscopes' first success story was in the digital still camera market, where they have almost 100 percent penetration, according to Mike Housholder, director of marketing for the mobile handset business unit at InvenSense.
"In the digital still camera and digital video camera markets today, any camera that has more than 5 megapixels has a gyro too," said Housholder.
Likewise, in phones, MEMS gyroscopes' first task will be to stabilize the integrated digital camera. "As smartphones integrate higher-pixel-count digital camerasfrom 5 to 8 to 10 to 12-megapixelsthe quality of the photos made will depend very heavily on image stabilization," said Housholder.
Once onboard, however, the gyro can also be used to enhance online gaming; perform indoor navigation by virtue of dead reckoning; augment reality with information overlays; and vastly expand the range of motion-based commands, such as turning the phone upside down to silence it, shaking it to dial or even sealing a transaction via an in-the-air "signature." In a YouTube video, Housholder demonstrates all the phone enhancements that a gyro might enable.

Might possibly be a Disc error. If you legally own a Windows 7 disc, try downloading a third party Windows 7 ISO and burn it.
I've had this issue before in the past, tried a different Disc of Windows 7, ran the setup and everything ran fine.
And to REALLY prevent hangs & loops, be sure to Format the Partition you're planning on installing Windows 7 on. If you're doing a "Custom Install" to over-lap a previous version, the ALREADY installed version may be interfering/counter-acting the NEW install.

ICA invades Dover Street Market
The ICA has invaded London shopping venue Dover Street Market for the latest instalment in its 'Off-Site' series of events. Designed by Julia, the show offers a fascinating look at some rarely seen material from the institute's archives.
The ICA has invaded London shopping venue Dover Street Market for the latest instalment in its 'Off-Site' series of events. Designed by Julia, the show offers a fascinating look at some rarely seen material from the Institute's archives.
Dover Street Market now houses luxury clothing and accessories but between 1950 and 1968, it was home to the ICA and is allegedly the birthplace of op art, pop art and brutalist architecture.
The venue hosted some of ICA's best known shows, including exhibitions by Lucian Freud, Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock, and was a regular meeting place of the Independent Group, whose members included Richard Hamilton, Eduardo Paolozzi and the architect Peter Smithson.
The exhibition was launched this week to coincide with a Hamilton retrospective at the ICA and Tate Modern and the release of a new book, Institute of Contemporary Arts: 1946-1968. Until April, each of Dover Street Market's six floors will feature large scale photographs, posters and imagery produced during the ICA's 18-year tenure there, including ICA Bulletin covers, Francis Bacon's first ever show covers and posters for various exhibitions held at the site.
ICA executive director Gregor Muir came up with the idea for the exhibition after discovering an old poster bearing the address 17-18 Dover Street. After exploring the ICA archives, he discovered more ephemera dating back to the institute's stay there and asked London agency Julia to design an exhibition using the rarely seen material.
As the site is now home to a busy shop, Julia had to work within the existing furniture and layout, but the agency has done a fantastic job of 'invading' the space while remaining sensitive to its interior.
"It wasn't easy at first – the site is already very busy and full of work by a lot of designers, and we were adding another layer of business on top of that," says Julia co-founder Erwan Lhuissier. "In the end, we think the work we've made integrates with the store pretty well, but there were a lot of situations where we had to adapt to suit the existing layout," he explains.
Key to this was visiting the site with the company responsible for printing the large scale artworks to determine exactly what could be put where, says Lhuissier. "We had to strike that balance between placing the images where they would have maximum impact and hiding some behind furniture to create a kind of narrative through the building," he says.
Dover Street Market regularly hosts art and design installations, but the ICA's is the first to take over every floor of the building. "[Dover Street Market and the ICA] pretty much gave us carte blanche, which was nice, and we had a lot of freedom to add extra elements such as an ICA timeline on the staircase, which provides some context for the show," says Lhuissier. "What's great is that it appeals to two audiences – the people who have visited Dover Street Market to shop and those who are interested in the ICA," he adds.
As the show has been launched to tie in with Hamilton's retrospective, Julia has made references to the artist throughout, such as in the use of black and red graphics, colours which Hamilton often used. ICA shows from the fifties and sixties also provided inspiration for the positioning of images.
"We looked at a lot of shows that were hosted in the space and the artists often used to hang things horizontally, vertically, or from the ceiling. We wanted to reference this and also reflect the idea of an invasion – having things on the ceilings and floors instead of hanging in frames," adds Lhuissier.
The show is one of several Off-Site events staged by the ICA since last summer. In September, it launched a journey through London's sub culture in the basement of the Old Selfridges Hotel, which featured 56 vitrines of art, fashion, design and memorabilia produced by London creatives over four decades – you can read our blog post on it here.
The latest show provides a glimpse into a seminal period in the ICA's history and Julia has done an excellent job of designing the space.
ICA Off-Site is open at Dover Street Market, 17-18 Dover Street, London, W1S 4LT until April 6 – see ica.org.uk for details.

Qqest Software Systems, Timeforce Fraud, Thieves, and Liers oh My Sandy Utah
This company is full of liers, un usable product, poorly developed software and frauds. This company lies about its product and ability to trouble shoot probelms. We had more problems than I can even describe from day one. In good faith we allowed the company time to solve our many issues. After a month (and our warranty expiring) we were no better off. The company kept asking for more time for their IT team to solve our probems. In good faith we allowed them more time hoping to be provided with a working product. 11 months later we are still no better off as they will not refund our money because they say or (30 day warranty expired).
Cusomer service is a joke. You wait on hold for more than 2 hours and then are tansfered to someone's voince mail. If they even return your call they appolagise and bame the wait on being under staffed. No one has any idea what is going on and we were passed arond to 10 plus IT professionals. We were told we would be helped by a senior IT tech and then months later told we never were eventhough they told us that a senior tech was helping us all along. They now refuse to retun any of our calls, will not transfer us to supervisors or their legal department and we are left out $7,000 or a working product.
We have treid everything they asked us to, spend thousands on our own IT employees time, wait on hold for hours at a time, have had our clocks replace several times. This comany is acting like we and our problems do not exist because we have been too much of a pain to them. We have no resolution and are taking legal action.
Never buy anything from this company unless you want poor service, liers, and to be out thousands of dollars. Not to mention the worst migrane of your life.

Leaking water into interior
By chowjones on
Vehicle2013 Chevrolet Sonic LT 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6A)
ReviewI have mixed feelings writing this review. Overall, I really like my 2013 Sonic LT hatchback. The interior is very roomy for a car in this class and I like the design. However, my car has developed a water leak on the passenger side. As of 10/27/13, my car has been at the dealer trying to correct the problem for two of the past three weeks. Postings on a Sonic forum have confirmed that this is happening to many people. There is a serious design flaw with this model. Equipped with the 1.4L turbo and no water leaks, this car would be nothing short of excellent.
Best Featuresinterior space, interior design, good gas mileage with 1.8L
Worst FeaturesFix the design flaw that is causing the leaking on the passenger side. I've been driving Chevys for 13 years and have never had this problem. The Sonic is a little underpowered with the 1.8L. It's not horrible, but I think the 1.4L is better. Interior is great! Don't change a thing.

Have you watched 'The Tourist' movie? Either you're a guy or a woman, you just simply have to watch it. I mean it's Johnny Deep and Angelina Jolie who play the cast of the movie, and they're both one of the greatest artists in Hollywood. It's a bit drama actually if you're hoping for more action, but with Jolie's and Deep's acting - who'd care?
I probably have mentioned it at my later posts - I'm more the lyrical person. I pay high attention to words, like lyrics in a song, dialogue in a movie, quotes in an article - details. That's why maybe, I'm better with words. Anyway, I'm not going to give you a fantastic movie review of The Tourist - but all I can say, is you HAVE TO watch the movie. You'll understand why then the movie was nominated for 3 Grammies. Their acting, was unblaffable.
One of the dialogue that catch my eyes, was this one. They're both were sitting on a dinner table, at one fine dining restaurant in Venice - Man, God must be happy when He created Venice, it's such a mere beauty! I just got to be there before 25. Now, Deep was watching her holding her charm bracelet with a locket on it. It has the face of Janus, one of Roman Greek's God.
Elise: It's the um...the Roman god, Janus. My mother gave it to me when I was little. She wanted to teach me that people have two sides. A good side, a bad side, a past, a future. And that we must embrace both in someone we love. And I tried.
Frank Tupelo: What's he like?
Elise: He's...different, from anybody I know.
Frank Tupelo: Different's good. Where I come from, the highest compliment they can offer a person is to say that they're down to earth, grounded. I hate it. It drives me nuts.
And five minutes ago, I was like running through google, looking for the information about this God, Janus. I've always been into this God and Goddess stuff from the ancient Roman Greek history anyway. This is merely new year, remember? And reading this, about God Janus is the rightest thing to do at new year.
Janus is the two-faced ancient Roman God as he represent the looks of the past and the future. It's kind of reminds me of the astrological sign, Gemini. But it's not representing neither past or the future, but it's representing a two-side in one person. That people can be hypocrite and easy to get influenced with. As Jolie said in the movie, "She wanted to teach me that people have two sides. A good side, a bad side; a past, a future. And that we must embrace both in someone we love."
Human is very complicated, and not to mention, tiring. Here, the Janus God is composite and obscure that he's associated with doorways, beginnings, and transitions. The concepts of January and janitor are both based on aspects of Janus - personally speaking I don't know is this should be a funny thing to be laughed at or not.
Quoted from an ancient history website, it says: Associated with doorways and gates, Janus is the god of beginnings. Since he looks both ways, the term Janus-faced is used to describe someone who is duplicitous. He is also considered the guardian of peace when the door to his shrine was closed.
Exactly. Welcoming the new year of 2011, may the God of Janus will watch us from above. He's the God of beginnings and also the guardian of peace. Everyone throughout the world wish for a better peace for the years ahead. "The most famous temple to Janus in Rome, on the Argiletum, is called the Ianus Geminus 'Twin Janus'. When its doors were open, neighboring cities knew that Rome was at war. When the doors were closed, Rome was at peace."
There's always two part inside of a human, each one only understand for its own.
Dear God of Janus, may this will be a great year of beginnings.

After a long delay, Intel has finally announced the SSD 320. Thanks to cheaper 25nm flash these drives are set to shake up the SSD market.
At last year's Computex trade show in Taiwan there seemed to be dozens of vendors showing off Solid State Drives. However in the aftermath of the show little in the market has changed, which highlights one of the big problems with getting into the SSD space. Namely that there is very little one can do to differentiate SSDs from the myriad of other manufacturers' products in the market.
The issue is that SSDs are assembled from a fairly standard array of chips. Controllers are made by a handful of companies and then paired with flash memory from other companies. Unless you control the manufacture of one or other of these components, then you are essentially at the whim of your suppliers.
At the moment if you want your SSDs to be competitive speed-wise, you need a Sandforce controller. Other controllers are cheaper, which allow more price competitive behavior, but then you have the situation like the recent one in which SSD maker OCZ purchased Indilinx. This effectively removed one of the controller options from the market, further reducing the variation between products.
Intel is one of the few companies that has relatively complete control of its supply chain. It makes its own SSD controllers and also has a joint operation with Micron for manufacturing Flash. This has enabled it to do something rarely seen, announcing overnight that it was finally shipping its new SSD 320 product line, a line unique to Intel's products.
These new drives come with Intel and Micron's new generation 25nm Flash memory (the previous generation X-25M G2 SSDs used 34nm flash). 25nm refers to the size of structures on the Silicon itself, which are 25 nanometres across. By reducing the size of each structure more memory can be fit onto a single chip. This higher density has a flow-on effect of reducing the cost per gigabyte of the SSDs made with these chips – in this case each chip can hold 8GB of data, whereas the previous generation could only hold 4GB per chip.
Intel has paired the 25nm flash with new firmware for its in-house controller chip. Notably, this finally adds support for NAND redundancy (where 'spare' flash memory is built into the drive and is used when flash cells begin to wear) and drive encryption. Anandtech, which has already tested a sample drive, reports that these advancements are purely firmware based, and this is indeed the same controller chip used in the previous generation drive.
In Anandtech's initial testing the drives are appearing to outperform drives using the Sandforce 1200 controller that we fell in love with last year. Unfortunately it comes just as we are starting to see drives using the next generation Sandforce 2200 controller, which natively supports SATA 6Gbps. The sort of numbers being seen with the SSD 320 are still incredibly impressive, but enthusiasts will likely be looking to the Sandforce 2200 to drive their next SSD purchase thanks to noticeably higher transfer speeds.
This is but a minor hiccup though. Intel is renowned for making excellent quality SSDs, and we have no doubt that the SSD 320 will continue this trend. Not only does the product range pair Intel's excellent SSD controller chip with SATA 3Gbps connectivity, it does so with significant price reductions thanks to the use of 25nm flash chips.
Or at least, there are significant reductions in the US pricing. We have contacted Intel but they haven't announced Australian pricing, instead directing us to retailers. Considering no retailers have stock of the new drives, there aren't any prices (we are chasing this up with Intel). So that final part of the puzzle will take a few weeks to emerge.
We do plan on getting one of the SSD 320 drives into our testbench as soon as possible so we can see for ourselves how the new hardware performs.

Tips to tackle home updates
Homeowners transform a West Seattle home's exterior into a functional place to garden, entertain and relax.
Special to The Seattle Times
When we bought our home in 2007, we knew it needed a face-lift.
The front of the house featured a worn driveway and its odd retaining wall rockery, the concrete steps and front entry hidden from street view. A chain-link fence ran down its east side. The sloping concrete "walkway to nowhere" connected our kitchen and backyard. The lack of outdoor lighting, and the sloping overgrown backyard and small patio all needed a serious rethink. Our tiny front yard was overplanted with foliage from previous owners, too.
So six years in, we embarked on a sweeping change. From the hire of our contractors at WE Design, a West Seattle-based landscape designer and builder, to completion of the work, it took about six months to transform our property. It also involved a cast of characters, including a property surveyor, cement workers, haul-away drivers, a carpenter, electrician, plumber, patio installers, and general landscaping pros, all of whom worked around the unpredictable February and March weather.
Now that it's done, we're ready to celebrate our new space and happy with the results. Is this really our house?
Here's what we learned from the process.
Do your own usability testing
Before meeting with contractors, think about what does and doesn't work and how you'd like to use your space. Since we'd been in our home awhile, we'd had plenty of time to develop a running wish list.
Out front, we wanted a new entry with better lighting and proper paths from the front yard to the backyard on the west side (which was all grass and often muddy) and east side (impassable) of the house, ideally with lighting.
In back, we wanted to terrace the yard to separate an expanded patio area from a gardening area with raised beds for edible plants, herbs, and a shed for storing garden tools, currently kept in the garage.
We wanted to eliminate grass both out front and in back and replace it with ground cover and low-maintenance plants.
We also wanted a better space for backyard entertaining with low bench walls that could double as seating and frame the patio and more surfaces for food prep or serving.
Beyond that, if doable, we wanted to create a space to stow garbage cans so they would be less visible from the street. And we also dreamed of an informal outdoor kitchen to leverage a gas line we'd brought to the patio upon move-in, when we thought we'd hook our gas grill to it. Since we use a nongas grill, why not use that gas line to power burners, and then add a counter and sink?
Set your budget
Most remodeling and real-estate pros advise spending between 5 and 10 percent of your home's purchase price on a major exterior and landscaping project. Our contractor echoed this sentiment. Spend more than 10 percent, the thinking goes, and you may over-kit your home compared to properties of similar value. Spend far less, and you may not maximize your home's exterior assets.
We weren't considering resale, per se. We plan to stay in our home at least 20 years, so we were willing to make major changes. Before meeting with pros, we set a budget of about $45,000, about 7 percent of the home's purchase price, since we knew labor and materials would be extensive.
We were willing to go higher, depending on what we learned our features cost, and in the end we did — about 12 percent — but we don't regret it.
Look at looks
We hired our contractor based upon his book of previous projects, which we reviewed at a Seattle Tilth fair booth in 2012. But before we even looked for a pro, we began bookmarking potential patio looks both online and off — knowing we'd have to convey visuals to a future contractor. We used the website Houzz to create folders and jot notes about patio features and styles we liked. (Many people also use Houzz to shop for contractors, whose portfolios are viewable online.)
You can also use Zillow's Digs tool, Décor Pad, Pinterest, or shelter blogs for inspiration.
Discuss, discuss, discuss
Here's a hint: Don't start a major landscape project in April. We began talking to our landscaping company in October/November about our plans and met several times over a 12-week period while our project's lead, Michael Lockman, measured our lot and drafted blueprints of ways to introduce the features we wanted into the space we owned. Our project would involve multiple contractors and he would need to project manage the process, hence it was fortunate we started well before spring.
Get a plan, then edit backward
Before we broke ground, our contractor drafted a "sky's the limit, everything you've ever wanted" blueprint for us, featuring higher-end materials like custom pavers, twice as many lighting fixtures as we ultimately installed, an outdoor fireplace feature, custom wooden bench seats, and a bigger front-steps deck than we wound up using. It was more than twice our budget, but he presented it to illustrate to us what different features of our remodel cost and so we could choose which aspects were worth it to us or not.
We splurged on a new concrete driveway, custom concrete pavers out front (poured by the folks who did our driveway), LED lights (more costly than regular bulbs but longer-lasting and lower energy), a custom bar/kitchen and shed, a sprinkler system and wireless lighting timer that turns lights on at dusk and off at dawn, and followed through with most of our favored splurges.
But to keep within our budget, we reduced the number of lights installed (though we have wiring to add more later), used ironwood for our front steps and deck but downgraded to cheaper cedar for backyard carpentry and the fence on the east side of our home, and went with a concrete paver-based retaining wall versus a mix of concrete and wood-bench seating requiring more carpentry hours.
The pavers that form paths to the backyard are factory-sized 24" squares versus custom cut. We used remaindered marble slab for our backyard bar counter, and we also shortened our plant list, knowing we can add more plants ourselves later.
Where we could, we reduced dump fees by offering spare landscaping rocks and plants on Craigslist or to neighbors, and we used pavers from our former patio for a foundation floor for the backyard shed.
Taking it in: We did it

The Affordable Care Act health care reform law requires plan sponsors of self-insured plans, including self-insured plans that cover retirees, to pay fees to support medical research for seven years, beginning with plan years ending on or after Oct. 1, 2012.
Key: Sponsors of insured plans who offer employees health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and certain health flexible spending accounts (FSAs) must also pay the fees.
Caution: The IRS has yet to determine whether plan assets can be used to pay the fees. Proposed regulations implement this provision of the law. You may rely on these proposed regs until final regs are issued. (77 F.R. 22691, 4-17-12)
A buck for research
The fee is:
- $1 per average number of covered lives for plan years ending on or after Oct. 1, 2012, and before Oct. 1, 2013

Jets hold to defeat Blue Jackets
The SportsXchange•
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Maligned and booed back home, the Winnipeg Jets needed to hit the road to find solace.
Center Mark Scheifele, center Brian Little and left winger Evander Kane scored goals, and the Jets survived a hectic finish Monday to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 before 11,448 in Nationwide Arena.
Backup goaltender Al Montoya had 22 saves, but looked shaky in the third period when Columbus closed to 2-1 and 3-2 before running out of time.
Winnipeg, which led 1-0 after two sleepy periods, snapped a three-game skid (0-2-1), all the defeats suffered at home.
"After going 0-for-3 at home and being up 3-1 on these guys, we had to put them away," said Kane, who also had an assist. "It was a solid win. It's nothing to jump up and down about. We can be better. But we battled."
The Blue Jackets got goals from right winger R.J. Umberger and defenseman Fedor Tyutin.
Goaltender Mike McKenna, making his second consecutive start after injuries felled starter Sergei Bobrovsky and backup Curtis McElhinney, finished with 29 saves.
The Jackets thought they had a 1-0 lead late in the first period, but the goal was disallowed after Jackets left winger Matt Calvert was called for goaltender interference.
"Those are judgment calls by the officials, so you have to live with them and move on," Blue Jackets center Brandon Dubinsky said. "It's tough that it was the difference tonight maybe, but we have to be better."
Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards was less diplomatic.
"I didn't see goaltender interference on the play, but that was the call," Richards said.
Other than two first-period fights, the game was mostly quiet for the first 30 minutes. The final 30 were more eventful.
The Jets (15-15-5) broke a scoreless tie at 13:59 of the second.
Kane, who left the game in the first period after getting struck in the left foot with a puck, fed a perfect pass to Scheifele, who found space coming through the slot. Scheifele lifted the puck up and over McKenna's right pad.
The Blue Jackets (14-16-4) argued briefly that the puck left the zone just seconds before Scheifele's goal -- replays showed it was out by inches -- but the goal stood.
The lead grew to 2-0 early in the third period with the Jets on a four-minute power play after Blue Jackets right winger Cam Atkinson was called for a high-sticking double minor.
Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien rifled a shot from the right point that Little redirected through a crowd and past McKenna.
The Blue Jackets pulled within 2-1 when Umberger scored on a wrap-around with 11:12 to play, but the Jets pushed the lead back to two goals less than two minutes later.
Kane finished a 3-on-2 break with a wrister that snuck under McKenna's left arm to make it 3-1.
Again the Blue Jackets answered, this time with Tyutin burying a loose puck after a mad scramble in front of Montoya.
But that was it for Columbus. The Jackets pulled McKenna with 1:17 to play, but didn't generate any genuine scoring chances.
"I thought the game was going to play out as a very tight game, but then it started to open up for both teams," Winnipeg coach Claude Noel said. "We played a pretty steady game, really. We don't like to give up those goals late in the game, but we managed to hold on there."
NOTES: Winnipeg LW Evander Kane played his first game after missing six with a lower-body injury. ... Blue Jackets D Dalton Prout left the game with an upper-body injury suffered on his first shift. Columbus C Derek MacKenzie left in the second period with a lower-body injury. ... The Blue Jackets had a goal disallowed with 45.9 seconds remaining in the first period when referee Tim Peel ruled that LW Matt Calvert impeded Jets G Al Montoya's ability to play the puck. ... Blue Jackets LW Jack Skille was reassigned to AHL Springfield. ... This was only the second time Winnipeg has played in Nationwide Arena. The Blue Jackets have never played a regular-season game in Winnipeg.

Fans who are patiently awaiting the upcoming fall release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire were able to get an interactive behind the scenes look at the second installment of the series at this year's Comic-Con in San Diego, thanks to Facebook and Instagram.
On Saturday, July 20, Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson appeared on a panel to answer a series of fan questions. The questions were sent in live with the hashtag "Catching Fire Comic Con."
Asked what the most difficult stunt was on-set, Lawrence, 22, joked that it was "probably basic running," telling the audience that she is a horrible runner. The good-natured star added that while she didn't diet for the film, her role involved plenty of rigorous physical activity and was a workout in itself.
In addition to giving fans a chance to reach out to their favorite Hunger Games actors, Lionsgate exclusively revealed their Katniss and Peeta Quarter Quell poster on the film's Facebook page.
Newcomer Jena Malone also got in on the interactive action, giving fans and followers a glimpse at a day in her life at the convention via Instagram.
The actress, who will play District 7 competitor Johanna Mason, shared snapshots of her busy day, including photos of excited fans and a very pulled-together Willow Shields, who plays Primrose Everdeen in the adventure flicks.
"I love this girl sooo much!" she captioned an adorable snap of the pair holding hands.

On the internet, it was suggested to use a glass pan and line it with aluminum foil. In my mind, why not use an aluminum pan?
So that's what I did.
I don't always follow the rules.
On the internet it was suggested to use 4 cups of warm water, 2 Tbsps of baking soda and 2 Tbsps of salt.
I think that depends on the size of pan you are using.
I doubled and tripled and even quadrupled all of the ingredients.
This cute little foot belongs to my sugar and creamer set. It's almost black with tarnish - yuk.
Once all of the ingredients are added, stir and place the tarnished item in the water. The immediate smell of a rotten-egg will emit from the reaction of the tarnish to the salt and baking soda.
Clothespins may be necessary for those with strong noses.
Or, you get used to the smell.
As you can see in the picture above, the lid is under water in the solution and the tip is sticking out of the water. The mixture is working, egg smell or not, I was so happy it was working and I wasn't standing there applying polish.
I was nearly jumping up and down watching the tarnish disappear. I decided to get more pans ready so that I could get the job done faster.
I noticed that somewhere in the process, the mixture stopped working.
I'm not a scientist, but from my observation it seemed that when the water cooled or maybe when the salt and baking soda sat together for too long it quit working.
Luckily it's an easy solve.
Dump the water out and start over.
Worked like a charm.
With heavily tarnished pieces like this pie server, let it soak for 10 minutes in a fresh batch of the mixture, if the piece still has tarnish, take it out of the water and sprinkle a tablespoon of baking soda on it and rub with a soft cloth until it makes a dry paste. The tarnish comes off easily within seconds.
The pie server turned out great.
The intricate pieces with details and crevices took longer and I had to use the extra baking soda, but they turned out great!
Once I found the ease of using warm water, an aluminum pan, salt and baking soda, I will NEVER use polish again; polishing cloth maybe.
I did go crazy putting every piece of silver or silver plated items I have in the mixture, but I'm done and everything has a glorious shine rather than a dull black hue.

A's visit troops at U.S. air base in Japan
A's visit troops at U.S. air base in Japan
Airmen from the nearby Yokota Air Force base descended in the UH-IN "Huey" helicopters that would fly eight Oakland players, team president Michael Crowley and other club officials to the base for a visit. The A's contingent was ready for an adventure of a lifetime.
So were the airmen. Their eyes sparkled as they saw Jemile Weeks, Jonny Gomes, Brian Fuentes, Seth Smith, Cliff Pennington, Jerry Blevins, Josh Reddick and Collin Cowgill standing on the asphalt in their home white jerseys, and they were quick to thank the A's for making the trip.
No, the A's assured them. The thanks were reserved solely for the troops and their families, and they couldn't wait to spend some time with them on what was sure to be a memorable day.
That day started with a smooth liftoff and a spirited 20-minute flight to the base. It was a sunny morning and the players were rapt, staring out of the windows, snapping photos and making home videos with their smart phones. They soaked in what, for quite a few of them, was their first real ride in a chopper.
"That was my first one," said Weeks, the A's second baseman. "To go up and ascend [over] Japan and see the country -- there's places everywhere, there's no unused space or anything like that -- it was a wonderful thing."
The helicopters touched down at the base, which is in the nearby city of Fussa. The traveling party was whisked away through the impressive grounds, which can house up to 14,000 troops and personnel. When the players arrived at the baseball field, the Air Force members and their families were already there, many with gloves in their hands and already playing catch.
Fuentes and Blevins organized a pitching clinic while Weeks and Pennington worked with the infielders. Cowgill, Smith, Reddick and Gomes entertained the outfield prospects and members of the Yokota high school team in conversations about baseball and life before signing autographs.
"It's pretty special," Gomes said. "I'm biased to the military ... I actually thought I was going to go [into the military] in 2001, but I ended up being drafted [by Tampa Bay], so that kept me from going. I definitely don't take any of this for granted. I'm appreciative of all our servicemen."
Three of the A's have direct ties to the military, so it was special for them, too. Smith's brother-in-law was a member of the Navy, Cowgill's childhood friend is an Iraq veteran and member of the Army Reserve, and Reddick's grandfather is a retired member of the Air Force. Crowley came from a military family and was born on a Marine base in California.
"It's a tremendous honor to come out here and see these folks," Crowley said. "They work so hard to defend our freedom and the things we enjoy back in the States. The players are excited to be here, and it's a great opportunity to interact with the children and the men and women of the military here."
The interacting went on for the better part of an hour, and it continued in the Samurai Room -- the cafeteria for officers. The players lined up for their lunch, and once their trays were full, they sat down at the dining room tables to chat up more airmen.
The troops continued to remark to the players about how meeting and socializing with Major League Baseball players was an honor, and the players kept shaking their heads, telling the airmen that the real honor was meeting these brave patriots.
"The troops and their families have been such a big part of our lives and a part of our country and a part of all the countries," Weeks said. "For us to do our little part, it's just us trying to give back in whatever way we can."
After lunch, the players bid farewell to the base and got one heck of a ride: a 40-minute scenic tour in the helicopters that took them over the coastline under the watchful eye of Mt. Fuji. The trip also covered the city of Kamakura, where the famous Great Buddha -- an enormous, almost 900-year-old bronze statue -- resides, and back to the grandeur of Tokyo.
The players awarded their pilots with autographed baseballs and were on their way back to the hotel before departing a few hours later for the Tokyo Dome and their Sunday night exhibition game against the Yomiuri Giants. Yet, the day's events would surely live in their memories for a long time.
"It means a lot," Fuentes said. "Everyone's telling us thank you and really, the shoe's on the other foot because we're just privileged to be here, with as much as these guys sacrifice, being this far away from the States for years on years and jumping around, moving their families.
"We definitely know how that is ... so it's our pleasure, and we had a great time."

According to the minutes of the Oconee County Board of Commissioners' Dec. 15 meeting, the commission took action on District Attorney Ken Mauldin's request for funding three positions in that office.
Administrative Officer Alan Theriault recalled discussions that took place during the 2010 budget hearings, during which the board approved the positions with no county funding. The board indicated to Mauldin that if he could secure funding, those positions would become state employees.
Theriault said Mauldin has secured close to $400,000 in grants and that he has agreed to request that Athens-Clarke County amend its own 2010 fiscal budget to relieve Oconee County of split-funding three existing positions in the DA's office.
The board unanimously approved a resolution authorizing a contract with the state Department of Administrative Services for providing personnel and expenses for the DA's office.
