Technology and EBooks in Brazil
Brazil is not a world example when it comes to digital books. The estimate is that we are three years behind big markets like North America. However, 2012 promises to be the year that things will really happen, so we present here an overview about the technology - both formats and devices - used in Brazil.
So far, the most widely used format for eBooks in Brazil is the PDF, which is a shame. As everyone knows, PDF is not a document format suitable for digital books, since you cannot resize the text, change the layout or the background color.
However, the ePub is growing exponentially in online bookstores. There are also some shops and publishers that offer other formats like Mobi and even the old PRC. Publishers are adhering to ePub and, after a while, they begin to realize this is the most suitable format.
The app-books, usually developed for iPad, are far an exception in the market. Additionally, tablet sales are not at its peak in Brazil. The cost to produce an interactive book, locally, is still very high. With prices for development ranging from R$ 14,000 to R$ 30,000 (between US$ 8,000 and US$ 17,000), only large publishers are venturing on this path. This applies to Editora Globo, with Reinações de Narizinho (Adventures of Little Nose) by Monteiro Lobato and Editora Melhoramentos with O menino da terra (The boy from the land) de Ziraldo. But these interactive collections should grow in 2012.
Tools for Reading
To popularize the digital book, it is necessary to have the digital reading devices for easy access - both economic and technological. And that, unfortunately, is not the case here. The most widely used interface for reading eBooks in Brazil is the traditional PC, either desktop or notebook. According to data from FGV, 60 million computers were in use in 2011, and will be 100 million in 2012. The main place of Internet access is the Internet cafe (31%), followed by home (27%) and the home of relatives of friends, with 25%. In all, 87% of the population is already connected.
Smartphones are the second source of digital reading, followed by tablets and, finally, eReaders. The difference from other countries is the cost. The price of computers fell sharply in the last three years, and many families were able to acquire one. However, tablets and eReaders are alarmingly expensive and prices are out of reach for most of the population.
But speaking of portable devices, there are many different tablets here. Besides the popular iPad, companies like Motorola, Samsung, RIM, ZTE and Asus offer their gadgets for sale. Brazilian companies also have their own equipment, such as Positivo Ypy and Multilaser Elite, but some products are imported from China and only receive the brand in Brazil.
When talking about eReaders, the situation is bad. There are just a few models available and they lose badly in quality for the best and cheapest sold in the United States. There are approximately six devices of electronic ink, and some are so weak they do not deserve to be bought. Beyond the Brazilian Positivo Alpha, we have two models of iRiver officially, the Story and the Cover Story, price ranges from R$ 600 to R$ 800 (between US$ 350 to US$ 460). One of the first to hit the market was COOL-ER, of the deceased Interead, which is still sold here. The Kindle is officially sent to Brazil, and rumors tell that its price can reach R$ 199 (~ US$ 115), the first to be sold for an affordable price in Brazil.
High tax
The villain of high prices is taxes. In Brazil, the rate for imports of electronics reaches up to 60%. And even when the devices are manufactured in Brazil, such as those from Samsung – and in the future Apple – taxes on components and other items make the devices too expensive. We have in Brazil the world's highest prices for products from Apple. While the simplest model of iPad costs $ 499 in the United States, it's sold in Brazil for R$ 1629 (~ US$ 943).
The situation is even worse for eReaders. The low demand and high tax rates cause a reading device manufactured in Brazil – the eReader Positivo Alpha – to be available for R$ 799 (~ US$ 462), while a Kindle – top quality – can be purchased for US$ 79 in United States. A stark difference.
There are law projects that proceed through the Brazilian government aimed at reducing the price of devices such as tablets and eReaders. The Act, however, will take a long time to be approved, if approved, and the products are still very expensive, imported or not.
In 2012
This year is expected to bring a windfall growth in the technology market in general. More tablets will be purchased, and the possible arrival of companies like Amazon, Google Books and Kobo, promise to heat up digital book market.

The autoinflammatory diseases are characterized by seemingly unprovoked episodes of inflammation, without high-titer autoantibodies or antigen-specific T cells. The concept was proposed ten years ago with the identification of the genes underlying hereditary periodic fever syndromes. This nosology has taken root because of the dramatic advances in our knowledge of the genetic basis of both mendelian and complex autoinflammatory diseases, and with the recognition that these illnesses derive from genetic variants of the innate immune system. Herein we propose an updated classification scheme based on the molecular insights garnered over the past decade, supplanting a clinical classification that has served well but is opaque to the genetic, immunologic, and therapeutic interrelationships now before us. We define six categories of autoinflammatory disease: IL-1β activation disorders (inflammasomopathies), NF-κB activation syndromes, protein misfolding disorders, complement regulatory diseases, disturbances in cytokine signaling, and macrophage activation syndromes. A system based on molecular pathophysiology will bring greater clarity to our discourse while catalyzing new hypotheses both at the bench and at the bedside.
Keywords: innate immunity, IL-1β, inflammasome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, pulmonary fibrosis, Crohn's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, atherosclerosis

The world-famous luxury hotel is in terms of facilities, flair, location and cleanliness top class. Other things are unfortunately rather poor to very poor. Unfortunately this hotel the russians surrendered. Dress code, behavior of the guests, food, noisy telephone are on the agenda. Very unfortunate, were in this hotel for years the guests. The breakfast buffet offer is for a 2000 Euro night less than a 60 Euro pension. I was rather disappointed. The worst in our stay was the service at the check-in and the management with problems. Bad language skills, and a certain kind of rather unfriendly. For ... such a great hotel a total the service was a catastrophe. Hotel in a comparable category offer as far more for the paid money.

Necrosis (2010) Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
The cast is excellent. The script is terrificly good. NECROSIS is one of the best slap-stick / scary movies I've seen this year. I borrowed the DVD from my friend over the weekend, and I watched it four times in those three days! Everytime I watched it, I saw new things, but kept getting scared by the things I saw before. I love good horror movies like a fly going towards the blue light… A rush of energy, a burst of excitement, and before you know it, it's all over and you are dead. After Necrosis ended, I turned the tv off and could have sworn I heard one of the evil creatures from NECROSIS down the hall! Even today, a few weeks after I saw it, it still is in my head… I would definitely recommend this movie to people who like supernatural movies. Even if you don't like horror movies usually, you will enjoy this because it's just so good!! Necrosis

Where: Front Plaza, Coffman Memorial Union, 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis
Contacts: Ashley Kaser, Student Unions & Activities, email@example.com, 612-625-7772
September 5, 2012
Party on the Plaza, hosted at Coffman Memorial Union's Front Plaza, 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis, on Friday, Sept. 7 from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., will be the first pep rally for the university community during the first week of fall semester.
President Eric Kaler, head football coach Jerry Kill and athletics director Norwood Teague will deliver remarks to ignite excitement for the upcoming academic year and Golden Gopher athletics.
The event also boasts the unveiling of the bronze Goldy Gopher prototype statue which officially kicks off the "Give a Coin, Give a Dollar, Leave a Legacy" campaign. This campaign aims to give the Goldy Gopher statue a permanent home in front of Coffman Memorial Union to leave a legacy for future generations. No student services fees, taxpayer dollars or university funds will be used for the Goldy statue. Contributions are voluntary and can be made in three ways:
- Wear a "Leave a Legacy" bracelet which are being sold for $2 at Student Unions & Activities' events and retail locations (Gopher Express, Gopher Spot, Goldy's Gameroom, Info Desk, Coffman Theater Concessions, Coffman Union Post Office), University Bookstore and the U Card office
- Drop coins and cash into the donation box located on the first floor of Coffman Memorial Union near the bronze prototype display or Student Unions & Activities' retail locations (Gopher Express, Gopher Spot, Goldy's Gameroom, Info Desk, Coffman Theater Concessions, Coffman Union Post Office)
- Give to the University Foundation for tax deductible donations
The Goldy Gopher mascot serves as an image to which everyone in the University community feels connected. The statue will serve as an icon for the university community as a common area to gather and a collective image for promoting school spirit.
University alumnus, Nicholas Legeros, will be sculpting the statue. Legeros is an active artist in the Minneapolis area and creates sculptures for a variety of clientele.

Does your pocket feel too empty with that pathetically small phone in it? What you need is a bigger phone at a reasonable price. It just so happens that the Samsung Galaxy Note is on sale through eBay's Daily Deals today, and even better, it's the unlocked HSPA+ version. For the price of $519.99, you can get the device delivered to your door at no additional cost. That's even better than the last deal at $550.
Here's a bit of good news for all of you who have an unlocked (global) Samsung Galaxy S II here in the U.S.: Ice Cream Sandwich is being pushed to your device right now. This makes the global GSII the first of the GSII family to officially get Ice Cream Sandwich in the U.S., as none of the three American carriers that offer the phone have begun sending the update yet.
Kindly refrain from drooling into your keyboards for a moment while we fill you in on today's deal: HTC's latest high-end phone, the One X, packing 32GB of storage, Android 4.0, a 1.5Ghz quad-core processor and an unlocked GSM radio is currently available from Daily Steals for $629. For those of you who buy your phones unlocked, grab your wallets.
Update 4/11/12: The deal is back for one day, though this time through eBay (thanks, Daniel).
If you didn't quite make it to Daily Steals' awesome deal a couple of days ago and still want to get your hands on an unlocked Galaxy Nexus at a crazy discount, Negri Electronics has you covered.
The online electronics dealer is offering the 16GB unlocked Galaxy Nexus for just $459.99. It's worth noting though, that the units being sold by Negri have NTT Docomo branding (meaning a teeny tiny logo near the bottom of the backplate).
Heads up! Daily Steals is knocking $100 off an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note GSM handset. It looks like the bands won't work with T-Mobile's "4G" network, but if you're on AT&T in the states, or you're looking to score a Note for your local GSM carrier elsewhere in the world, today's your lucky day.
The deal is good for today only, so don't waste time. As always, be sure to check and make sure that the unlocked device supports your local carrier's bands before buying.
Well, that didn't take long. Not hours after ASUS released a tool to unlock the Transformer Prime's bootloader, we get word that ClockworkMod Recovery is available for the quad-core tablet. According to the source link, the team has been working on CWM for the Prime for a while but without an unlocked bootloader, they couldn't test it. Now that the device is wide open, it's time to get your custom recovery on.
After our holiday / new year giveaway onslaught, you probably thought we were done with big-ticket item giveaways for a while here at Android Police. You thought wrong.
Bitdefender (check out our review of their Mobile Security app here) and Android Police have teamed up to bring you one of our biggest giveaways ever, giving you a chance to one of eight awesome grand prizes (or one of 10 runner-up prizes) - one of four ASUS Transformer Prime 32GB tablets, or one of four GSM unlocked Galaxy Nexus smartphones.
With a phone as highly anticipated as the Galaxy Nexus, it's understandable that people are (very, very) frustrated with the many rumored release dates passing with nothing to show and no official word, especially when stock of the phone is sitting in store rooms at retailers around the countries. Worse, many theories are that it's basically motivated by greed on the part of Verizon. No surprise, then, that even retailers are hopping on board the Verizon-sucks bandwagon:
If you'd like to purchase an unlocked US Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM), you can get one for $730.50 at Negri Electronics.
Not in the mood to wait around for Verizon to finally decide to put a firm release date on the Galaxy Nexus' head? Tied to one of the other carriers? If your answer to either of those questions was affirmative (and if you have three-quarters of a grand lying around), you'll be delighted to know that Expansys just put up a page from which customers can purchase the I9250 GSM variant of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
For those unable to wait on the Galaxy Nexus, Samsung's Nexus S can still hold up against the competition in many ways. It may only pack a single-core processor, but it's a Nexus phone, meaning it is still one of Google's flagship Android devices, and will have active development and timely updates for a while yet. If you've been patiently waiting for your shot at a bargain on the Nexus S, now's your chance - Mobile Daily Steals is offering this beauty (unlocked) for just $299.99 with an international warranty, about $60 lower than Amazon's lowest price (without warranty).

Debate Footage Throws Off Chains, Will be Free at Last
May 7th, 2007
This weekend, Lawrence Lessig and others reported that CNN will release the footage of two upcoming presidential debates for use by the public, in a victory for information freedom and citizen-generated content. Lessig and compatriots in the academic and political worlds had been pushing for networks to set the video free for everyone to use without restrictions; this is a big step forward.

Red Bull X-Fighters is a stunt based game that lets you defy gravity on your bike. Feel the thrill as you go at full speed up a ramp, and fly high extending your legs as you fly along your bike Superman style. In Red Bull X-Fighters your aim is to please the crowd by cramming as many tricks in as possible before making a safe landing.
The bike auto accelerates, and depending on how you lean and distribute your weight you can affect the traction. You either lean left or right by tilting or using the on screen buttons. There is also a brake button that you use on timed tracks to slow down before a jump to cut away some airtime.
Stunts are the real draw in Red Bull X-Fighters, and you do them by drawing different pre-set shapes on screen. The game slows down as you start drawing letting you have a chance at completing the shape of one or more tricks before you have to pivot the bike into a proper landing angle. The shape detection engine in the game is thankfully quite lenient in interpreting what you draw, which I like as I draw like a fool.
There are a lot of different tracks and challenges in the game with winning the World Tour being the goal. Eight different locations around the world spanning 60 challenges ranging from score based performer challenges to time based runs.
Each race is quite short, and often you have to retry as it is not that easy to land the bike without crashing. All these visits to the menus draw my experience down, and I would have liked a button that let you restart right away instead of going to the pause menu. Changing bikes is kind of strange too, as you have to drag your rider or bike to the left or right of the screen. To me it doesn't seem to register well, and even though I have unlocked stuff it is hard to change it.
The game keeps tracks of all sorts of stats, and has extensive achievements to unlock. To unlock all the tricks, and complete the tour you have quite a few hours of gameplay ahead of you. One really cool aspect is the fact that you gain fans depending on your trick skill, lovely.
Presentation & Graphics
I find the graphics to be ok, but lacking that spectacular wow factor racing games need to really stand out. The game overall feels too dark, and yes it is supposed to look cool that way with strong strobes aimed at the sky, and rider but on the small screen it becomes cramped and murky. The tracks, and venues look ok as well. The rider and bike feels a bit blocky, but the rider is animated really well when doing the tricks.
The blatant product placement is kind of hard to criticize as it has Red Bull in the name.
The engine sounds like an annoyed bee trapped under a coffee cup. The menu music is your standard metal riffing that all the racing games featuring motor bikes seem to feature. You can play your own playlists which is really neat. Another good thing is that when you draw your tricks the game slows down, and the sound does as well giving you a claustrophobic heartbeat as you try to draw the shape.
The trick drawing is spot on, and feels fresh and inventive. The tilt or button controls for pivot feels slow, and I often find myself overcompensating this way or that because I know that the controls are slow.
The short race time means a lot of time will be spent in menus that detracts somewhat from the fun game play. Still Red Bull X-Fighters retain that addictive one more go flair.
Lots to unlock and achieve. A World Tour that will take hours of stunting to win, and the chase to nail all tricks and courses perfectly give you quite a lot of value for you five bucks. No online functionality in version 1.0.0, and I would like to be able to download ghost races from those nailing the tracks spot on.
Game Rating
Red Bull X-Fighters brings a fresh idea integrating the popular drawing mechanic into a stunt racer. If you are looking for a racer that you can play for either 2 minutes in line for the ATM or 2 hours in your favourite sofa this is a good pick if you have an extra 5 bucks to spend.
Red Bull X-Fighters $4.99

Magnetic influence has been suspected or reported as a contributing factor in many cases of metallic corrosion near magnetic sources. This study has examined the corrosion behavior of a plain-carbon steel in a 3% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution within and without magnetic fields up to 0.245 T at room temperature. Anode and cathode corrosion half-cells were separated so that the magnetic effect on each electrode reaction could be studied by itself. Direction of the field with respect to the electrode surfaces was also varied.
Cathodic polarization of steel is not affected by a magnetic field; neither is anodic polarization up to a current density of approximately 10 mA/cm2. It was also found by cyclic polarization that a magnetic field does not affect the susceptibility of the steel to localized attack in a 3% NaCl solution. However, at extreme corrosion rates (more than 24 cm/year), an applied magnetic field of 0.245 T causes a maximum change of 2.7% in the anodic dissolution rate.

Will be going by train from Varanasi to Umaria and then head to Tala (Bandhavgarh NP). According to the schedule the train (Sarnath Express) will arrive about 22.15 PM. Will I be able to get transport to Tala at that time or is it better to spend the night in Umaria (if yes, any suggestions?). Anyone knows about possible delays in arrival time?
Thanks answering,

The worldwide release of the 2014-2015 kit is May 9th. The kit is made from the dynamic War-Tech fabric and four-way stretch mesh paneling. Two embroidered Eternal Flames alongside a 96 logo are located on the nape of the kit's neck to commemorate the events at Hillsborough in 1989 25 years ago.
Last week Philippe Coutinho, Jordan Henderson, Simon Mignolet and Kolo Touré were all in the Liverpool city center to reveal the new 2014-2015 kit. We received our first glimpses of Liverpool FC's kit for the Premier League and FA Cup campaigns. But if you think about it, I cannot help but have that joy in my heart that this kit will be our first Champions League kit since the 2009-2010 season.
"I have a great sense of pride every time I pull on a Liverpool shirt," Steven Gerrard said. "This shirt feels like a Liverpool classic and helps me remember the greats who played before us."
The Anfield Shop is now taking pre-orders for next season's Liverpool FC kits. For our Liverpool family, if you pre-order the new 2014-2015 kit, we will throw in a Liverpool FC scarf with your order. All pre-orders will ship worldwide on the official release day of May 9th.
What a roller coaster of emotions this week has been. The Manchester City match, the Hillsborough 25th Anniversary. We have four matches to go with another pivotal match against Chelsea. First things first… Norwich City on Sunday.

MAWTS-1 hones warfighting edge.
Each spring and fall, pilots, weapons systems operators and ground combat, combat support service support officers from the Marine Corps and other U.S. and foreign services descend on MCAS McCune-Albright syndrome (MCAS)
A genetic syndrome characterized in girls by the development of ovarian cysts and puberty before the age of 8, together with abnormalities of bone structure and skin pigmentation.
Mentioned in: Ovarian Cysts Yuma, Ariz., and its surrounding air ranges for the Marine Corps' Weapons and Tactics Instructors (WTI WTI West Texas Intermediate

That which is cognizable to a judge is within the scope of his or her jurisdiction. of Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron (MAWTS MAWTS Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron ) 1, students receive classroom instruction combined with a rigorous flight curriculum. The course hones their knowledge about weapons and their delivery, platform tactics and integration among Marine aviation and other Marine, joint and foreign aviation platforms and command and control systems. Upon graduation, students are designated weapons tactics instructors and return to their commands to serve as warfare instructors and planners.
Major James Reed, MAWTS-1 operations officer, explained the value of the WTI training, "We ensure that everyone does things in a uniform manner so that all of the fleet squadrons are consistent. It is an excellent course for Marine Corps aviation, and we have students from all of the other services. They see the value in the course and it helps them work in contemporary joint operations worldwide."
Each six-week WTI course has approximately 175 students, with at least one student from almost every Marine aviation unit. The first two and a half weeks provide classroom instruction, beginning with the "big picture" of the six functions of Marine Corps aviation--offensive air support, antiair warfare, assault support, aerial reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and control of missiles and aircraft. Maj. Reed explained that "at the beginning, students and instructors will train with their own communities. As time goes on, they begin working with other communities and integrate into various larger operations."
Special guest speakers describing their real-world experiences are a valuable component of the classroom phase. Colonel Marty Post, MAWTS-1 CO, said, "One who was memorable was a Special Forces master sergeant controller who was one of the first to go into Afghanistan. He directed airpower air·pow·er or air power

JDAM drops. He talked about his equipment, different techniques, directing different types of aircraft, what worked and what didn't work."
The second half of the course involves three and a half weeks of flight training to reinforce academic objectives with hands-on experience. All flights include a MAWTS-1 instructor, and both inert and live ordnance are utilized. A complete command and control system is operational throughout the Yuma Training Range Complex during WTI to coordinate the approximately 2,500 personnel and 70 aircraft that participate in a given course. Instead of a "final exam," the students participate in a week-long final exercise during which they plan and carry out a fully integrated combined ARMS operation.
MAWTS-1 conducts several other courses during WTI, such as an intelligence officers course; aviation ground support and logistics officers course; rotary wing crew chief and KC-130 navigator, loadmaster load·mas·ter
An aircraft crew member in charge of loading and unloading cargo or heavy weapons.
An Air Force technician qualified to plan loads, to operate auxiliary materials handling equipment, and to supervise loading and unloading , flight engineer weapons and tactics instructor course; and enlisted weapons and tactics courses. Throughout the year the squadron offers other curricula in addition to WTI, such as the tactical air commanders course and the air combat element (ACE) commanders course, as well as a mobile training curriculum consisting of ACE training, Marine air-ground task force The Marine Corps principal organization for all missions across the range of military operations, composed of forces task-organized under a single commander capable of responding rapidly to a contingency anywhere in the world. aviation integration and Marine division tactics courses.
MAWTS-1 maintains close, mutually beneficial contact with the aviation and tactics schools of the U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force and several allied nations, which allows the WTI training to reflect the realities of joint operations. The variety of aircraft participating in the spring 2002 course illustrates the joint-training concept: Marine EA-6B Prowlers, AV-8B Harrier IIs, KC-130F/T F/T Full Time
F/T Flats Tub (Canada Post) Hercules, F/A-18A/D A/D

The WTI curriculum is continually updated to integrate contemporary systems and methodology, such as lessons learned from Operation Enduring Freedom. For example, in the spring course, "We set up 15-20 Soviet-style vehicles around the Twentynine Palms [Calif.] ranges," Col. Post explained. "We sent F/A-18s and AV-8Bs, using an armed reconnaissance method, to find and destroy the vehicles. We had a JSTARS on station to pass along the targeting information to the strike aircraft, which would locate and engage the targets. This was a great exercise and was pertinent to the way we did business in Afghanistan. We also used the AH-1W Super Cobras and UH-1N 'Hueys' to escort light armored vehicles and light armored reconnaissance vehicles, flying slightly ahead to ensure the area was clear, and to give the ground troops instant on-call close air support if needed."

See blackout. conditions and high altitudes that challenged helicopter operations in Afghanistan may become a training scenario in a future course .
The biennial training can also be a test bed for developing procedures and methods for new hardware and equipment. Included in the spring curriculum was the validation of the next-generation .50 caliber machine gun, the M3M, on the CH-46E and CH-53D/E. Col. Post explained, "It has a superior rate of fire, up from about 700-800 rounds per minute on our older guns up to 1,100 rounds per minute now. We have been making refinements to how it mounts in the windows and we may even adapt the weapon to the ground side. Personnel from the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab and Europe are here to help out with the development of it, too. The fleet crew chiefs have an opportunity to use and critique the system, and by the time it enters production it will be a proven design."
Col. Post concluded, "All of the people working for me here have been hand-picked by their various communities, and I get the best of the best. Having such quality people makes my job easy--they are always looking for a better way of doing something and they are proactive." With that kind of dedication, the personnel of MAWTS-1 can offer the fleet unparalleled warfighting training.

Agenus announces results from Phase 2 brain cancer vaccine study
Agenus announced results published from a Phase 2 study demonstrated that more than 90% of the patients treated with Prophage Series G-200 were alive at six months after surgery and 30% were alive at twelve months. Additionally, the median overall survival was approximately eleven months. This compares favorably to the expected median survival for recurrent Glioblastoma multiforme patients of three to nine months1-7. The primary objective of this multi-center, single arm Phase 2 trial was to assess the survival rate at six months. The data was published in a manuscript in Neuro-Oncology, the official journal of the Society of Neuro-Oncology. GBM is the most common and most aggressive form of primary brain cancer. Despite approved therapy patients with GBM face a poor prognosis. Prophage Series vaccines are currently being studied in both newly diagnosed and recurrent GBM.

Washington, DC - First Lady Michelle Obama settled an *important* question on Monday afternoon during a visit to the Children's National Medical Center, revealing that President Barack Obama's favorite Christmas treat is pumpkin pie.
Her husband also thinks she's "bossy" about decorating the family Christmas tree, but all the same instead of coal in his stocking he will be getting workout clothes for his Christmas present, Mrs. Obama told a crowd of about sixty excited, pint-sized patients gathered in the hospital's atrium.
Accompanied by First Dogs Bo and Sunny, Mrs. Obama was in high spirits as she shared plenty of other tidbits about the First Family's holiday plans, and dished on her upcoming landmark birthday in January--or as she put it, turning "fifty and fabulous."
Clad in a grey sweater and grey slacks with her 'ombre' hair in loose curls, and seated on a loveseat with Sunny in front of a massive Christmas tree, Mrs. Obama even sang a few bars of a famous seasonal song, belting "chestnuts roasting on an open fire," before stopping and joking "oh, I forgot the press was here."

The visit was Mrs. Obama's fifth to the hospital since 2009, continuing a tradition started in the 1950s by former First Lady Bess Truman. After giving a rousing reading of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, Mrs. Obama encouraged the kids to ask questions from where they were seated on the floor behind red and green velvet ropes. Some of the kids were in wheelchairs; some had IVs in their arms.
"I don't take questions from the press," Mrs. Obama said, pointing to the pack of media confined behind their own ropeline. "They will tell you that."
As for her revelation about the President's pie love: When Mrs. Obama was asked "what's your favorite Christmas treat to eat?" she responded "pumpkin pie," then pondered: "Is that considered a Christmas treat?"
After the kids assured that it is, the First Lady added the detail about her husband.
"The President loves pumpkin pie," Mrs. Obama said. "That's for sure his favorite treat."

Still, Mrs. Obama said that gifting her pie-loving husband with workout clothes is not because he needs to exercise all those calories off.
"He said that's what he wanted," Mrs. Obama said, to laughter.
"Don't think--I'm not forcing my husband to work out...Don't think-- there's going to be some Let's Move! joke about how I'm strapping him to the treadmill. No, he likes to work out."
First Daughters Malia, 15, and Sasha, 12, will receive "small gifts," Mrs. Obama said, but added that her husband had "messed up" plans for Malia's present.
"Malia wanted a cell phone, but then her father got it for her, and I was like, you messed it up," Mrs. Obama said, to more laughter. "It's like, that should have been a Christmas gift."

"They are getting chew toys," Mrs. Obama confided. "Yes, lots of the hard ones because they chew their toys up."
The First Family will exchange their Christmas gifts in Hawaii; they have spent Christmas there each year since the President took office, in a rental home on Oahu, in the upscale town of Kailua.
"We're going to leave Friday," Mrs. Obama said. "So we hang our stockings in the house that we stay in."
Getting toys was her own favorite Christmas tradition as a child growing up on Chicago's South Side, Mrs. Obama said: "That was a great tradition. I loved that."
"No, I'm serious...I loved Christmas Eve, when you knew you were going to get toys, and then Christmas morning, when you got the toys! This is a great tradition!"
The kids agreed, enthusiastically. Her favorite toy as a girl: "I loved Barbie dolls, and I had everything Barbie," Mrs. Obama said. "I had the townhouse and the car and all the little outfits, and the shoes that never stayed on their feet. So you lose the shoes."
Mrs. Obama said her visit to the hospital is one of her favorite holiday rites now that she's left childhood behind. She toured the Medical Care Unit before her atrium visit, spending time with children confined to their beds as well as with doctors, nurses, and staff. "This right here, this is a great gift," Mrs. Obama said.
|"Fabulous and fifty"
"I'm not exactly sure yet what I'm going to do, but it might involve some dancing. A little Dougie."
The First Lady has done plenty of dancing to promote Let's Move!--including on national television with comic Jimmy Fallon--and The Dougie is among her signature moves. At the President's private fiftieth birthday party at the White House, the First Couple and their guests--including a dazzling array of celebrities--did the Electric Slide in the East Room.
Mrs. Obama had more to say about growing older: She is not a fan of white Christmases, she said. She loved snow as a child, and believed Santa needed it to land on the roof, but now she's an adult, snow is "a hassle," she said.
"The truth is, now that I'm older, I prefer a Christmas without snow," Mrs. Obama said.
"When you're older, old people, snow is a hassle. You've got to shovel it. And then when the ice forms on your car window shield, there's nothing worse than scraping that off....that's kind of a hassle."
Sunny, who joined the First Family last August, has not yet seen snow, Mrs. Obama said, though Bo loves to play in it.
As she ended her visit, Mrs. Obama gleefully admitted that the President thinks she's too "bossy" when it comes to decorating Christmas trees. There are 44 trees in the White House, she explained, and volunteers from across the US arrived right after Thanksgiving to do most of the decorating for the 'Gather Around' decor theme.
"Because there's no way that we can do it," Mrs. Obama said. "Although the President, he always tells people that he did everything--but between you and me, he does nothing."
The President did, however, decorate the First Family's own Christmas tree in the Yellow Oval Room, Mrs. Obama said. Staffers decorated half the tree, she said, because "it's a big tree--it would take forever to finish--and they leave some ornaments."
"And this year, I have to say, the President actually put most of the ornaments on the tree--because he says I'm bossy, so I just sat back and let them do it," Mrs. Obama said.
"So he and Sasha did most of the work, and me and Malia, we drank a lot of hot chocolate."
Before bidding the children farewell, Mrs. Obama urged them to "study hard" and "be good" and "listen to your parents," and tossed in a pitch for Let's Move!, too.
"Be good, even after Christmas is over," she said. "Be good, eat your vegetables."
|A long view of Mrs. Obama and the kids in the atrium
Then, like Santa, in the twinkling of an eye the First Lady was gone in a flurry of waves, as the smartphone-toting crowd snapped photos of her exit.
Mrs. Obama will continue to host holiday parties at the White House through the end of the week before departing for Hawaii. This Thursday, she will visit Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling where she will deliver toys and gifts donated by Executive Office of the President staff to the Marine Corps' Toys for Tots Campaign.
On Sunday evening, the President and Mrs. Obama taped TNT's Christmas in Washington, a benefit concert for the hospital. It will air on Friday night as the First Family is on the way to Hawaii.

Watford Ladies win National FA Fives tournament as Hornets striker Sarah Wiltshire stars at Wembley
12:29pm Monday 16th December 2013 in Latest Sport
Watford Ladies were crowned champions of the National FA Fives tournament held at Wembley Stadium on Saturday after beating Bushey 1-0 in the final.
After triumphs at both the county and regional competitions earlier this year, the Golden Girls scooped the top prize as Sarah Wiltshire scored seven goals including the winner in the final.
The talented striker was later named Player of the Tournament.
After a brief tour of the iconic venue in the morning, Watford's opening group game was against Bushey and the match finished 1-1 with Wiltshire claiming the Hornets' goal.
The second group game was against A-Town Ladies, who won the Midlands Regional Tournament to qualify and a slow start from Watford saw their opponents race into a 3-0 lead.
Kate Natkiel and Wiltshire both got on the scoresheet to reduce the deficit but it wasn't enough to prevent A-Town taking all three points.
Needing a win and an improved goal difference from their final group match, Watford romped to a 5-2 victory over London-based The Mix.
The goals from Natkiel (2), Wiltshire, Jo Wilson and Renee Hector were enough to secure a semi-final place against Itchen Athletic, who Watford had beaten in the regional final in June.
The Golden Girls rose to the occasion and produced their best performance of the day to win 5-1 thanks to a hat-trick from Wiltshire and further goals from Natkiel and Wilson.
Their opponents in the final were Bushey and as the draw earlier in the tournament suggested it would be, the game was tight.
Wiltshire was the star of the show again however as she put Watford ahead but goalkeeper Hollie Augustus also had to be in fine form, producing some impressive saves to seal a 1-0 win and clinch the title for Watford.
Watford Ladies FA Fives manager Steve Edwards, said: "We didn't get off to the best of starts and we were a bit complacent in the second game and slow to get going.
"We spoke as a group before the third game and realised we were one game away from going home and agreed that we could work a lot harder as a team.
"The players' reaction from then on was fantastic and the last three matches were as good as it gets.
"All the squad played their part today and they deserve this success - noone will ever be able to take the fact that they are Wembley champions away from them. It's a great day for the club."
Watford Ladies: Hollie Augustus, Renee Hector, Georgia Mays, Amy Runciman, Cally Rowell, Kate Natkiel, Sarah Wiltshire, Jo Wilson
