It has become incredibly frustrating to deal with people who erroneously believe that Obama and his administration will live up to a single claim, promise, or statement. Especially since neither Obama nor his pals have given us a single reason to trust them while giving us tons of reasons not to, not the least of which being the fact that they claim they can kill you or me whenever they please, based on policies which they repeatedly have refused to justify in a court of law.
Back when the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 was being pushed through the House and Senate and making its way towards Obama's desk I attempted to make it clear that the Obama administration's supposed intention to veto the bill was nothing more than theater.
Of course, he ended up signing the bill with a meaningless signing statement claiming that he "signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists."

absolutely the greatest car i have ever driven. i previously owned a 1985 505 GTI, fantastic car in itself, but this runs rings around it. A pleasure to drive, handles amazingly, the only flaw i could possibly point out is that the amount you would drive it would become an incredible burnden on tire purchase.

The Peugeot 306 Rallye is enormous fun to drive, almost go cart like. Can swing out and overtake most other cars just like a motorbike.
Handles beautifully through the bends and even the standard exhaust system has a fiery growl. Was a complete newcomer to these second hand cars in 2003 and was gob smacked by their performance. So much fun for such a low price. These days with fat cars abounding the 306 Rallye looks really cute too… Read Full Review

Stereotyped Makeover! Graduate Student Edition
With yet another indicator of how ill equipped this university is to help graduate students prepare for non-academic careers, I got an email inviting me to a workshop to help grad students learn how to dress themselves.
Here is the description of an upcoming workshop titled "Professional Attire for Your Professional Life!" (note the exclamation mark, indicating that this is going to be a very fun and exciting seminar)
Transitioning from a graduate research assistant (GSR) to the professional world is often** bewildering endeavor** for many graduate students. Along with your knowledge and skills an individual's demeanor and appearance are also qualities that companies and institutions consider when hiring—especially in careers beyond academia. Graduate students thinking about, or ready, to make this transition can greatly benefit from knowing the basics regarding professional attire and self-presentation. During this gathering you will learn how and why first impression count, how to "stand out " by your demeanor and attire, the critical elements of a "professional" look, including what "formal," "professional," and "business casual" attire really mean?
Never mind the fact that there was no reason to make an acronym out of "graduate research assistant." Based on the summary, the questions that this workshop proposes to answer can be easily addressed with a quick Google search for "business casual." For more advanced studies, all I need to do is pick up a copy of GQ or watch a few episodes of TLC's "What Not To Wear."
Perhaps the "Lizzie" episode from Season 8? You know, the one that found a PhD student that gets a makeover? Oh wait, that's the one where they highlight every stereotypically nerdy thing about her and her clothing, then make her look "sexy" with a new wardrobe.
I have a hard time believing that this workshop will be any less trite and condescending. Information presented in workshop form that can be easily found with a Google search? That would be a waste of my time, but not offensive. The offensive part is that the very office that is supposed to be helping grad students find careers seems to have taken very seriously the joke that grad students have poor personal hygiene and are ignorant of standards of attire.
The thing is, grad students dress like slobs because that is the culture of academia. It is a choice. Walk around a poster session at an academic conference and pay attention to what people are wearing… the formality of one's attire is inversely proportional to their expertise. The ones in suits? Those are the undergrads attending their first conference. The ones with torn jeans and flip flops? PIs. The grad students make up a gradient between these two extremes.
If you break too far out of this mold, people think that you are hiding something. It's as risky as giving a research presentation where you actually pay attention to font selection, color schemes, and composition.
An inability to properly dress is not the greatest hurdle to grad students securing jobs in industry.

SEATTLE, May 26 (UPI) -- Jason Bay's bloop single in the bottom of the 13th inning Sunday scored Kendrys Morales for a 4-3 Seattle Mariners win over Texas.
Morales blasted a one-out double into the gap and off the right-center field wall in the 13th against Michael Kirkman (0-1).
Ross Wolf relieved and, after taking third on Carlos Triunfel's groundout, Morales trotted home when Bay poked a broken-bat looper fell in left field.
Each team scored in the 11th, with Raul Ibanez extending the contest with a solo homer against Rangers closer Joe Nathan.
Morales finished 3-for-6 with a two-run homer for Seattle, which snapped an eight-game losing streak.
Yoervis Medina (1-0) earned his first major-league win with 1 2/3 frames of scoreless relief.
Nelson Cruz had three hits and Jurickson Profar homered for Texas.

Changing behaviors through increased traffic fees
The Interim Transportation Committee of Sixty-third Legislative Assembly of North Dakota voted Aug. 22 to send a bill draft to the 2013 Legislative Session relating to the penalties for violating speed limits. Under the bill, fees will be brought more into line with those fees assessed in South Dakota or Minnesota.
The current disparity between North Dakota fees and those imposed in South Dakota or Minnesota can be explained in the following comparisons. A person driving thirteen miles an hour over the speed limit in a residential neighborhood in North Dakota would be assessed a fee of $13. The same violation in South Dakota would garner a fee of $110. In Minnesota, the fee would be $125.
The proposed changes to current North Dakota statute include a fee of $20 be added to all speeding violations. In addition, a graduated fee structure based on how many miles per hour over the speed limit the person was traveling would be used to establish what the total fee would be. A similar tiered fee structure is currently being used in North Dakota.
On the residential roadway passing in front of your home the current scale places the fee at $5 for one to five miles per hour over the limit. The new scale would change to $2 for each mile over the limit. Five mile per hour over would be $10 plus the $20 fee for a total $30. Fifteen miles per hour over the limit presently is $15. With the proposed change, $15 over would be $60 plus the $20 fee for a total of $80, which would still be below the fee assessed for the same violation in South Dakota or Minnesota as noted above.
Raising the fees is meant to cause drivers to re-evaluate the consequence of breaking the law. A driver bases their driving behavior on a risk assessment of the current conditions and the possible consequences. If other vehicles are present on the roadway; the area is unfamiliar; or the roadway surface is ice covered a driver tends to slow down. If the person believes their violation will be detected by a law enforcement officer; that they may be stopped for that violation; and the punishment is more than the driver is willing to accept the driver will more readily follow the law.
Many of the fees presently in statute have not changed since they were established in the 60's or early 70's. Using an inflation calculator to determine the relative value of $20 from 1973 places the value in a range from $80 to over $200. In 2011 it would take $101 to purchase the same commodity that could be purchased in 1973 for twenty dollars. The present fee structure no longer carries the same deterrent factor it once did. A driver may be willing to accept the risk of associated with violating the law if the perceived consequence is small enough. If more drivers were to modify their behavior by slowing down, obeying the rules of the road and usingtheir seatbelts North Dakota could achieve the goal of zero traffic fatalities in North Dakota.

Big name computer companies like Microsoft and Apple have run educational discount schemes for more than a generation. They charge students and teachers less for their products hoping they'll be hooked on the tools long before they enter the paid workforce. At this point the scheme pays off because the steady flow of new, tech savvy, workers will influence their employer's technology choices.
Now Microsoft has taken the idea to a new level. The company will now give students a free Office 365 ProPlus subscription when their schools or other educational institutions licence Office for all their staff.
It's a big deal. Microsoft New Zealand managing director Paul Muckleston says more than a million students will be eligible. And as he points out, it will do a lot to help disadvantaged students get access to the tools – that's something that will help prepare them for the workforce.
Office 365 ProPlus is Microsoft's name for the subscription version of the desktop Office software. It includes the full suite of applications, students will be able to install the software on up to five devices each. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, InfoPath and Access are all included. Windows PC users get the lot, Mac owners have a reduced set of applications.
First full-frame mirrorless cameras from Sony
Sony's New Zealand office squeezed out a press release last night just as the company took the wraps of its Alpha A7 mirrorless camera models to international media. There are two models, the α7 and α7R along with a new $1900 RX10 zoom camera in the company's Cyber-shot line.
Sony says the mirrorless models are the world's smallest full-frame interchangeable-lens cameras.
They come a range of imaging features, including Sony's Bionz X processor, fast autofocus and an XGA OLED viewfinder. The cameras handle full HD 60p video recording and come with Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity.
Both are made of magnesium alloy and built to withstand dust, moisture and tough weather conditions.
New Zealand prices for the mirrorless range are:
A7r body: around $2999
A7 body: around $2399
A7 body with 28-70mm lens: around $2699
35mm Zeiss lens: around $1299
55mm Zeiss lens: around $1699
24-70mm Zeiss lens: around $1899
Lens adaptor: around $499
- Later than expected, the Apache Software Foundation finally pushed Hadoop 2.0 out the door yesterday. Strictly speaking the new release is Hadoop 2.2.0 and by all accounts it is a leap forward for managing big data collections. Apache's official statement says: "The project's latest release marks a major milestone more than four years in the making, and has achieved the level of stability and enterprise readiness to earn the general availability designation".
- Meet other IT business owners at the Auckland ICT War stories from the ICT trenches event on October 31. Ian Miller from Nutshell, Luigi Cappel from SoLoMo consulting and Kevin Andreassend ICE AV will be speaking. The idea is to hear first hand accounts of life at the sharp end of the technology business and then discuss matters over a drink.
- Another meet-up opportunity for Aucklanders at Ryan Ashton's A few quiet yarns where a couple of hundred IT industry people catch up for informal drinks at a city centre bar. The next event is on November 7 at Bungalow 8 at Viaduct Harbour.

De Soto district phasing out associate principals for learning coaches
Learning coaches teaching teachers
Instead of directly teaching students, the job of several district instructors next year will be more like teaching teachers to teach students.
In a move the district hopes will place more emphasis on student learning, De Soto USD 232 has taken a step toward implementing its plan of a learning coach in every school. In elementary schools, full-time learning coaches will eventually replace associate principals; secondary schools will have one of each.
At its April 4 meeting, the Board approved appointing six district staff members as full-time learning coaches for the 2005-2006 school year.
Currently, three elementary schools have associate principals who also are half-time learning coaches. They are Tim Smith at Starside, Kim Gracy at Prairie Ridge and Kim Barney at Riverview.
Joining them next year as full-time learning coaches will be Mike Murphy at De Soto High School and Kelly Webb at Lexington Trails Middle School, as well as Lori Bradley, Mize Elementary; Carrie Lillig, Clear Creek Elementary; Josh Kindler, Monticello Trails Middle School; and Kim Spencer, Mill Valley High School.
Learning coaches' jobs are to instruct teachers in curriculum and instruction. They don't have administrative duties like student discipline or teacher evaluations.
Bret Church, the district's secondary curriculum coordinator, said the designation of 'coach' was a noteworthy one.
"Coaches are trying to make people better," he said. "They're not necessarily there to be their boss."
Church said learning coaches were De Soto's interpretation of the "site-based staff developers" concept. In-building learning coaches would be a more accessible version of what many districts had -- an itinerant, district-level administrator.
"We're trying to change that model," he said. "We want the learning coach to be a part of the culture of that building, not just a visitor of that building."
Murphy said he was interested in curriculum construction and looking at each school's "big picture." Having an in-building learning coach, he said, would help personalize the school to fit its individual students' needs.
Murphy and other learning coaches also will be able to act as mentors for teachers, especially those in their first semesters. Leading teacher collaboration would be an important role for a learning coach, Murphy said.
"When teachers have questions for me, I'd like to be able to say 'Well, here's what I've seen,'" he said. "I'd like to get teachers to share those, too. Each teacher's got really unique ideas and strategies for stuff."
Barney said teachers at Riverview took advantage of having a learning coach in the building on a day-to-day basis.
"There's just a revolving door; they're always e-mailing me, coming in," Barney said. "I'm just immersed in the culture of the school. That's different than if I was going in as a consultant."
Keeping up with improvement requirements under the federal No Child Left Behind act is a driving force behind implementing learning coaches, Church said.
The state defines what must be taught in order to align with assessments, and teachers decide how to teach it, Church said. He said learning coaches' first role would be to help teachers stay on top of curriculum requirements.
"These people will be curriculum and assessment experts regarding the things the state and NCLB is requiring us to do," he said.
Barney said her curriculum research helped relieve some of the burden from teachers so they could spend more time in the classroom.
"I'm trying to do the legwork," Barney said. "It streamlines everything so that their time and energy is spent on student learning."

AUSTIN — More than 200 women protested at the Capitol on Tuesday, lamenting the imminent loss of health services for 130,000 poor women.
Republican state leaders are adamant that they will not participate in the Women's Health Program, for which the federal government provides 90 percent of the funding, if some of the money has to go to Planned Parenthood. The 6-year-old program, up for federal renewal, provides cancer screenings and contraceptives to women who don't have insurance. Texas leads the nation in the number of residents without health insurance.
Musician Marcia Ball organized the protest event through an email a few days ago. The women wore red and carried signs protesting the cuts.
Gov. Rick Perry has said that the Obama administration is to blame because it won't yield on Planned Parenthood's involvement. The rules for the program were created during the Bush administration, and the state only recently moved to bar Planned Parenthood, which separates its abortion services from its health clinics, from receiving funding. Some conservatives say the separation isn't good enough, that any funding flowing to the organization helps it continue to provide abortions.
The final decision over whether the federal health agency will grant Texas a waiver so it doesn't have to use Planned Parenthood — which currently provides the health services to more than 60 percent of the women enrolled in the program — as a provider is expected by next week.

Using Children For Exploitation - J4J
- USING CHILDRENFOR EXPLOITATIONSteve Baskerville's recent quote from an article in INSIGHT Magazine.
"Not since the overthrow of the Weimar Republic have the leaders of a major democracy used their offices and the mass media to disseminate invective against millions of their own citizens. In fact it was Adolf Hitler who urged that "the state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people" and who explained, in the words of Rabbi Daniel Lapin, that "as long as government is perceived as working for the benefit of children, the people happily will endure almost any curtailment of liberty."
Using children to tug on our heartstrings may be not only a weakness of the sentimental. It also may be a ploy by those cynical and unscrupulous enough to exploit children for their own purposes. This is likely to be remembered as one of the most diabolical perversions of governmental power in our history, a time when we allowed children to be used and abused by fast-talking government officials and paid for it with our families, our social order and our constitutional rights."

Chinese state-owned ships entered the territorial waters of disputed islands Friday, Japan's coastguard said, in the first intrusion since a new government was elected in Tokyo.
The move is a setback to hopes in Japan that Beijing might use the poll as a chance for a fresh start after months of bitter wrangling and rhetoric over an issue that neither side is prepared to budge on.
"Three Chinese surveillance ships entered the territorial waters near Kubajima," said a Japanese coastguard official, referring to one of the islands in the Senkaku chain, known as Diaoyu in China.
The coastguard said three Chinese ships were spotted northwest of Kubajima island at around 10:20 a.m. local time.
A fisheries patrol ship was also in contiguous waters 37 kilometres west-northwest of Uotsurijima island, it said.
China has sent its official ships into the islands' waters 19 times since Tokyo nationalized the chain in September, the coastguard said, with analysts saying Beijing intends to prove it can come and go as it pleases in the area.
The ante was upped last week when a Chinese plane overflew the area, in what Japan said was the first time Beijing had breached its airspace since at least 1958. Tokyo scrambled fighter jets in response.
But the State Oceanic Administration vessels have remained outside the 12-nautical-mile ring of the archipelago's territorial waters since Sunday's election, in which the hawkish Shinzo Abe swept to power, vowing a tough line on Beijing.
In one of his first broadcast interviews after the election win he said there was no room for compromise in the row and put the onus for improved relations on Beijing.
"Japan and China need to share the recognition that having good relations is in the national interests of both countries," he said. "China lacks this recognition a little bit. I want them to think anew about mutually beneficial strategic relations."
Mr. Abe has pushed an agenda that includes upgrading the country's "Self Defence Forces" to make them a full-scale military, and has spoken of wanting to revise Japan's pacifist constitution.
But analysts have said at least some of this could be posturing.
They point to the pragmatism of his earlier 2006-2007 tenure as prime minister, when his opinions on controversial issues that could aggravate China were ambiguous or were just left unsaid.
As premier he stayed away from Yasukuni Shrine, which honours Japan's war dead, including Class A war criminals, and is a running sore in Tokyo's relations with its neighbours.
Mr. Abe also made China his first foreign destination.
Following his victory on Sunday, he said he would make rebuilding Japan's alliance with Washington his top foreign policy goal and said it would be the first place he visits after assuming office.
Despite warm words about the importance of economic ties with Beijing – China is Japan's biggest trading partner – Mr. Abe stressed the need to build relations with other countries, such as India and Australia.Report Typo/Error

Then you have a situation where interest only is less than the rent, you can't be evicted assuming you make the payments, unlike a tenant. 25years is a long time...
This is what my missus does (only her names on the mortgage). Works for us as we intend to have moved out well before 25 years is up.
The advantage of renting over either mortgage option is flexibility, a friend just moved from one 2 bed house to another and they reckoned it cost them £10k by the time they'd paid the banks, solicitors, agents, taxes etc, and they'd only lived there for 3 years!
TBH I don't get the whole "must buy a house" philosophy this country has, why? So you can spend 25 years paying for it, followed by 20 years of being smug to people still paying for them, followed by having to sell it to fund 10 years of paying someone else to wipe your arse for you?
Having said that our next house will probably have to be a repayment mortgage.
Renting = paying another mans mortgage.
Paying a mortgage = paying the bankers coke and Porsche habit.

For the second time in as many years, the Southern California Regional Occupational Center in Torrance — a hub of vocational education for South Bay high school students — is facing the threat of state closure.
Led by state Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi, a group of supporters and local leaders held a press conference at the campus Thursday to call attention to the plight of the school, better known as SoCal ROC, whose myriad course offerings include hair styling, auto shop, medical assisting, animation and veterinary science. If state budgets are any indication, the center's funding is slated to run out after June 2015.
"Clearly the time is ticking," Muratsuchi said. "We meed to address this challenge before us."
Also on hand Thursday was Tom Torlakson, the state superintendent of public instruction.
At a time when career/tech education has become increasingly scarce in public high schools, the 47-year-old center — which claims to serve 9,000 students annually — remains one of California's most thriving vocational campuses.
For decades, SoCal ROC — better known around the South Bay as SCROC — has bused in and educated, free of charge, high school students to its campus of boxy buildings on Crenshaw Boulevard near Wilson Park. The students come from the six districts in SoCal ROC's joint-powers agreement: Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, Inglewood and Palos Verdes Peninsula. Adults can take courses too for a small tuition.
SoCal ROC's superintendent, Christine Hoffman, believes the center is the unintended victim of an education movement that prioritizes entry into four-year colleges and STEM education — the buzzword for science, technology, engineering and math instruction — over all else.
"I think the push on STEM education, and the push for getting more students into engineering, I think that's nice," she said. "But the world would be an awfully boring place if everybody decided to become an engineer."
She added that demand for many vocational jobs remains strong.
"Who's going to fix our cars? Who's going to build the houses we live in? Cut and style our hair? Design our clothes?"
The existence of SoCal ROC first came under threat about a year ago, when it became clear that Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed school-funding overhaul called for eliminating the center's $7 million budget by this past fall.
Hoffman launched a concerted campaign to tout the importance of the program. Two South Bay legislators, Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi and Sen. Ted Lieu, took up the cause. It paid off, at least in the short term. In May of last year, in his annual budget revision, Brown proposed a two-year reprieve for SoCal ROC, as well as for the another similar state entity, Metropolitan Adult School in San Jose.
The two centers are unique in that they operate under joint powers authorities serving several school districts. Hoffman said the model works well because most high schools can't find enough students or real estate to build labs for aspiring auto mechanics, welders, veterinarians and cosmetologists.
Although SoCal ROC's funding stream is scheduled to keep flowing for another year and a half, Hoffman said she wants to reignite the campaign to save the center as early as possible, to be on the safe side.
Hoffman acknowledged that a "career pathways" program offering $250 million in grants set aside for high schools to create courses that are directly linked to jobs is a worthy cause.
But she argues that the SoCal ROC model needs to be replicated across the state, not phased out.
"Here is the best way to serve a number of high school kids, no matter where they come from," she said. "Here's the best way to take adults who have been laid off, and who don't want to go through an AA degree program (at a community college), who just want to be retrained in a new skill set so they can go back and get jobs."
It worked for a student named Ruben Munante, who graduated less than a year ago from Torrance High. Munante took a night class at SoCal ROC in dental assisting thinking of it as a way to catch up on credit. Now he has a job working as an X-ray technician on the USC campus.
"Thank you for leading me on the right path," he said.
Torlakson, meanwhile, said he has misgivings about the portion of Brown's funding formula that reduces regional occupation programs to a voluntary option for local school districts.
"Now we have to look at perhaps some corrective legislation, and we have do some persuasion in showing the value and shining a spotlight on the good things happening here," he said.

Going into its season opener against Weber State, the BYU men's basketball team appeared to have a substantial talent advantage on paper.
The Cougars have, in recent years, secured the talents of several nationally ranked high school recruits, coveted by other successful programs. The Wildcats, on the other hand, while they are well-coached and hard-working, typically have a roster full of players not offered scholarships by bigger programs.
In general, that difference in talent was clearly evident in Friday night's game, which the Cougars won 81-72. BYU pulled out to a big lead early and was never truly threatened. Weber State had a few players get hot at different times to keep the game respectable, but ultimately the more talented Cougars were too much for the Wildcats to handle, particularly with the game at the Marriott Center.
Neither team did anything to alter preseason expectations. Weber State looked like a team good enough to win the Big Sky Conference, which it unanimously was picked to do by the coaches in the conference. BYU looked like a team athletic and skilled enough to compete with Gonzaga for the WCC title and return to the NCAA tournament.
A few things stood out about the teams in Friday night's opener. The Cougars looked more athletic than last season, and as a result seem poised to be a more consistent team relying less on the three-point shot. Also, head coach Dave Rose stuck to his plan to play more man-to-man defense, which looked promising considering this was the season opener.
The Wildcats appear to have sufficient pieces to execute an effective inside-out game. For much of the contest, their big men outplayed the Cougar frontcourt, and this led to open shots and driving lanes for their better perimeter players during certain stretches. On the flip side, only four players scored for Weber State, which has to be a concern.
Bottom line: BYU should have won this game by at least 15 points. Read on for grades by position and more.
BYU's guard line will either win or lose the Cougars a vast majority of their games this season. Tyler Haws and Matt Carlino dominated the offensive possessions, each taking more than 20 shots while no other player had as many as 10. Haws was his steady self, moving without the ball and contributing in multiple ways. Kyle Collinsworth played 36 solid minutes, reminding fans why he was a highly recruited player. Carlino continued to take cringe-worthy shots and play out of control at times, as he has in games past, but Friday night he made enough positive plays that it didn't hurt the team. Anson Winder and Frank Bartley IV both had some nice moments and should provide solid depth. If Haws and Carlino had combined for a better shooting percentage than 44 percent against an inferior opponent, the grade would be a little better. That percentage will need to be better for the Cougars to beat better teams.
Grade: B+
Davion Berry and Jeremy Senglin both had stretches of hot shooting that allowed the Wildcats to keep the game respectable. Unfortunately for Weber State, these stretches all came after BYU had built a double-digit lead, and the game never got closer than six points. The Weber State backcourt looked talented enough to overwhelm a lot of Big Sky teams, but it was not good enough to keep BYU's guards from dominating the game.
Grade: C
Offensively, BYU's frontcourt was quiet and underwhelming, combining for only 11 shots — half as many as Carlino alone. Highly touted freshman Eric Mika did make some outstanding plays to contribute to the Cougar cause, however. He made a couple of highly athletic defensive plays, blocking three shots in the game, and had two very nice assists on passes to players cutting to the basket. Nate Austin led the big men in minutes with 26, while Mika played 24.
Grade: C+
Kyle Tresnak was the biggest difference-maker in the game for the Wildcats. He carried the load offensively in the first half, showing off some excellent post moves and offensive awareness. BYU was forced to double team him, which helped open up the game for other players. Joel Bolomboy pitched in with some solid dirty work — 13 rebounds, 2 blocks and 11 points. The bottom line is that if Tresnak had not played in this game, Weber State very well might have been down 25 at halftime.
Grade: B
Cougar coaches clearly recognized that they had a talent advantage over Weber State, particularly in the backcourt. Rather than playing the odds of shooting outside shots, BYU's guards consistently attacked the paint for closer shots. On the night, the Cougars only took nine three-pointers, several of which were thrown up to beat the shot clock. The strategy worked against Weber State. Against better teams, the Cougs will probably have to take and make a few more threes. Rose also made the necessary adjustment of providing help on Wildcat big man Tresnak. Ultimately, however, BYU had a talent edge over Weber State that should have resulted in a larger margin of victory playing at home.
Grade: B-
Randy Rahe kept his team working hard enough to keep the game from getting totally out of control. Losing by only single digits on the road to a more talented team is at least a minor moral victory for Rahe, though he surely would not admit that. It would have taken a career night from one of his players to pull off a win Friday night, and that didn't happen.
Grade: B
The officials were decent enough in the game — that is to say there were no game-changing calls that they blew. The game was really never close enough for the officiating to be an issue either way. There were a lot of 50/50 calls that could have gone either way, as always, and each team seemed to get about an equal share going its way.
Grade: B

Death to Protein Powder Globs
Blender Bottle
Situation: It's been a hard workout. Your body is craving protein. To satiate, you make a protein shake, but globs of chocolate protein powder hover around the surface of the glass. You shake, stir, curse, but no amount of force will break it up. Sound familiar?
A recent procurement from the local health store has solved the problem. The Blender Bottle ($10) provides a unique solution to the "protein globs" problem. The simple design includes a small stainless steel wire ball that works similarly to a whisk head. A few shakes disperses a mass of chocolate protein powder and cleanup is a cinch.
The Blender Bottle is available in several different sizes and with a $10 price tag, it's a must have for regular protein shake drinkers. Perfect for quickly mixing up protein drinks, but also works for eggs and a variety of other comestibles.

There are optimists, and then there is the woman who tried to make a phone call during the Twilight Sad's set.
Such an attempt matched Sisyphus and the boulder for futility, given the Kilysth group's noise is matched by few. This appearance, with a confident support set by We Were Promised Jetpacks, was an impressive step up in size, losing little of the intensity that characterises their best work.
This year's No One Can Ever Know album featured a heavier dose of Krautrock and synths, and that transferred over live, with more beats underpinning tracks. It seemed to affect singer James Graham, too, given that he danced about like he was in a Madchester band during newer material, then reverting to a more brooding, forceful figure during older songs.
Loading article content
The white noise was predictably devastating, and it's not sacrilege to suggest their pounding version of I Became A Prostitute was close to My Bloody Valentine levels, and Walking For Two Hours spotlighted Andy MacFarlane's hostile guitar work brilliantly. It was other tracks that suggested intriguing new directions, with eerie synths ghosting along in places, while Dead City had a beat fit for dancefloors, as well as an indication the group are actually having fun.
It wasn't perfect, with Graham's vocal occasionally submerged a little too much, and not all the newer material possessing as much punch as hoped. A mighty conclusion that featured ear-shredding renditions of Cold Days From The Birdhouse and At The Burnside reverted matters to aggressive territory, and suggested there will always be a part of the band that revels most in raising the volume.

Philadelphia Media Network, which publishes the Inquirer, Daily News and philly.com, last night unveiled its Android-based tablet, the Arnova 10 G2, to a room full of partners at a cocktail party at 400 N. Broad, the Inquirer building.
It's a remarkably quick turnaround since the company announced the decision to launch an Android device bundled with applications created for the company's publications in July, as we reported. Philadelphia Media Network is the first in the country to launch a tablet that is bundled with newspaper subscriptions.
The device has a 10.1-inch capacitive screen and is running on a 1GHz Processor with 512MB RAM, standard fare in the tablet market. But it's something new for the news business. Essentially, digital subscription sales helps subsidize the cost of the device.
Users can purchase a one-year subscription to the Inquirer and Daily News and receive the tablet for $285 or pay $339 for a two-year subscription. That makes it a sub-$150 tablet device, which beats the cost of an iPad (by $250 or more), but puts it on par with the competitively priced Kindle (starting at $139).
Video hands-on after the jump.
Below, Philadelphia Media Network's Paid Digital Content Manager Sarah Schmalbach gives a walk-through of the device.
[viddler id-d8d2e35b h-280 w-420]
Compare the cost of the device with the Inquirer's current annual subscription rate of $316.16, and it's a deal. Yes, company officials want you to know it's already available for sale.
The company is dipping its toes in to this as a pilot venture, as only 5,000 tablets are initially available. That gives it time to improve.
Given the opportunity to play with the device last night, we found that though its tablet app offerings are smart (you can view content in a traditional newspaper format or in a more tablet-friendly format), the device was sluggish, and occasionally hard to navigate. That could mean a lot of customer service calls from the audience the company is likely targeting: older, affluent individuals who are seeing more and more of their friends and colleagues purchasing more responsive and longer-tested Kindle and iPad devices.
Performance and user interface could improve with software upgrades: the device is running Android 2.3.1 Gingerbread, a release of the operating system that came before the tablet-optimized version of Android 3.0 Honeycomb hit the public in February.
Below, Philadelphia Media Network CEO Greg Osberg introduces the device.

Bladder Cancer Research
Researchers studying bladder cancer at the Perlmutter Cancer Center are focusing on the following areas of study:
Molecular Basis Underlying the Divergent Pathways of Bladder Tumorigenesis
Perlmutter Cancer Center scientists are exploring the roles of tumor suppressor genes (Rb family, p53, Ink4a, and PTEN) in bladder tumorigenesis and progression. They are also studying DNA repair capacity in the etiology of bladder cancer, the roles of XIAP and RhoGDI in bladder cancer invasion and metastasis, and the structural basis of FGFR3 activation. The findings of these studies could help investigators identify new therapeutic targets.
New Diagnostic Markers for Bladder Cancer
Researchers are conducting studies of the usefulness of uroplakins to improve bladder cancer diagnosis and management.
Novel Therapeutic Strategies for Bladder Cancer
Several avenues of investigation are under way, including those assessing:
- The effects of a novel hydroxamate-type HDAC inhibitor, PDX101, on bladder tumor growth in transgenic mice.
- Rational targeting of the FGF3 receptor in bladder cancer
- Oncolytic herpes simplex virus (HSV) virus therapy in bladder cancer
Urothelial Differentiation and Implications on Bladder Cancer
Perlmutter Cancer Center scientists are evaluating cultured urothelial cells as a model of urothelial wound repair. They are also exploring the roles of uroplakins in plaque formation, umbrella cell enlargement, and urinary tract diseases, as well as the mechanism of uroplakin assembly and novel urothelial markers.
