Kate Gosselin has been given an hour on TLC to come clean and 9,000 fans want answers.
The last episode of "Jon & Kate Plus Eight," airing on Oct. 26, will give the reality TV mom one hour to answer "your questions about [her] life, the show" and the future, US Magazine reported Tuesday.
Whether Kate is going to touch on the lawsuit between her and her estranged husband, Jon, remains unanswered, according to the magazine.
U.S. & World
The one-hour TV special will air on the same day she and Jon are due in court to reach a financial settlement.
Viewers have already flooded TLC's website with about 9,000 questions for the reality TV mom, People reported.
During the pair's last court appearance on Oct. 13, Jon was ordered to return $180,000 that he removed from a joint bank account by Oct. 26 to avoid potential contempt charges.
Kate will also detail her expenses in the hearing.
Jon and Kate announced earlier this year they'd split due to marital differences. The two share custody of their eight children, and Jon has moved on to a new relationship with family friend Hailey Glassman.

Electricity entered the kitchens of millions, and nowhere in the home was modern technology and modern design more evident. Bold color, clean lines and stainless steel were keynotes of the decade, and it is no surprise that 1950s kitchen style is now the height of fashion once again, with names like Cath Kidston picking up on the best of '50s kitchen kitsch, and manufacturers like Dualit, Kitchen Aid and Aga doing healthy business with retro appliances.
The diner - more than just a place to grab a bite, the diner is an expression of the free-flowing American spirit, as generous as a bottomless cup of coffee and a flashing neon sign beckoning the traveler or passer-by with the immortal words "Eat Here Now."

A short note to wish all of you a very happy Diwali.
Have been going through your responses to the music. Its extremely encouraging to say the least. I''''ve got your immediate response and it is really heartening, but what I would really like is to hear your responses two weeks from now, after you have had a chance to hear the songs a few times over. Do they grow on you or do you start tiring of them?
I spent a couple hours last evening with Shammi Uncle the Elvis Presley of Indian Cinema (not as a singer but as a star). He is a close friend of my uncle Mr Nasir Husain who was himself one of the most sussessful directors of his time. I trained under Chachajaan as an assistant director for 4 years. His is not with us today but it would have been a very happy day for him. And I wanted Shammi Uncle to hear the music and wanted his blessings. Shammi Uncle is the coolest and I so enjoyed being with him. Very few people have the spirit of life that Shammi Uncle has and there is a lot to learn there. He showed me a picture that he keeps in his room of him and Chachajaan on the stes of one of the films they did together. I felt so happy and I wanted to share it with y''''all.
I''''m planning a sheduled chat soon and I''''ll keep you posted on that.
Take care, and have a great Diwali.
Much love.

So, I rambled on during the first post for this paper doll about the Pantone color trend books Spring 2010 and Spring 2009, so I will spare you that ramble. As I have said a lot of times, I have some trouble with colors. I think partly because I use the computer to color my dolls online, the colors tend to be hyper saturated and I don't always like that, so getting to use the Pantone colors was a lot of fun.
Tomorrow, there shall either be steam or snow for Marisole… depending on which one I finish first, I think.

Third ingredient is a named meat product, grainless.
Insufficient meat content, use of by-products, other low quality ingredients.
The major ingredient in this food is potato. This takes the form of dehydrated potatoes as the first ingredient, potato protein and potato fiber fifth on the ingredient list. The latter is essentially filler, an insoluable fibre designed to increase bulk, make the dog feel full and aid passage through the intestinal tract. Cellulose powder is further filler, also known as sawdust.
The main nutritional basis of the food comes from duck by-product meal and duck, the second and fourth ingredients. In the latter case, the ingredient is inclusive of water content. Once removed, as it must be to produce a dry product, this ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight and as such is probably more accurately placed further down the ingredient list. It is thus unlikely that this ingredient contributes substantially to the meat content of the food.
Of greater concern is the use of by-products in the food. It is impossible to ascertain the quality of by-products and these are usually products that are of such low quality as to be rejected for use in the human food chain, or else are those parts that have so little value that they cannot be used elsewhere in either the human or pet food industries. We recommend avoiding any pet food using such ingredients. Duck by-products are likely to be similar to chicken by-products, for which the AAFCO definition of meal is consists of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice.
This is a prescription food and better than some of its type. However, we note that there are similar products available without prescription that offer a higher meat content and the use of better quality ingredients (eg. whole potatoes and meat rather than by-products). The nutrient content of this food is near the minimum allowable for adult maintenance (per AAFCO) and below that for puppies.

You've probably been there: Trying to get your iPhone back off the kids, who tell you "ten more minutes" or "just one more level". When can all appreciate the peace and quiet that comes from a really good app, but how many of us stop to think about what goes into making one? Sophia George has just launched her first game at the grand old age of 22. Here, she tells HELLO! Online about the process.
"I am the Chair and Creative Director of a new start-up studio called Swallowtail Games and my first game Tick Tock Toys has just been released on the App Store!
"I've been gaming and using computers since I was very little. My first computer was an Amiga 500, which I still have great memories of. As I got older, I started thinking about seriously pursuing games as a career. I was always told that you needed to be excellent at maths to work in games, but there so many different skills involved with making a game.
"I ended up studying Games Art and Design at Norwich University of the Arts, learning a wide range of skills from 3D modelling, animation, drawing and design. I also began to study games from a more academic perspective.
"I started to see how women characters are poorly represented, often sexualised and most of the time appearing as supporting characters, or even as prizes for the main hero. I found myself always dissatisfied with the female characters, so it just made we want to get into the industry even more. For my final year dissertation, I studied why there are so few women in the games industry, looking into individual games, feminist theory, developer interviews, evolutionary psychology and art history.
"I also found problems with the games industry outside of the actual games! During university, I attended the Eurogamer Expo, a huge event that showcases up and coming game titles to the public. While queuing to get inside, a few security guards told me that I must be in the wrong queue, assuming I was trying to find the Earl's Court Wedding Show!
"In 2011 I entered a 10-week competition run by Abertay University in Dundee called Dare to be Digital with friends and other students I met online from Abertay. Together we developed my game idea Tick Tock Toys, which went on the win the competition, as well as the BAFTA Ones to Watch Award in March 2012. It was an exciting night, and I met so many great people – and even saw a few celebrities!
"Now Tick Tock Toys is available on the App Store, and I am so happy that it has gone from a small idea I came up with to a published game! I am very happy with the game and proud of my team. I am so keen to make more family friendly games that people can enjoy together.
"For too long has gaming been seen as a hobby for boys, but now it's all starting to change. Currently, 47% of gamers are women, and if we get more women into the development side of games, I'm sure we'll see some even more amazing and innovative games being created."

The Antinori family has been in the wine business since Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Guild of Vintners in 1385 -- more than 26 generations ago. Throughout the company long history it has remained family owned and operated, and today it is directed by Marchese Piero Antinori. Though Antinori has played an important role in preserving Italys enological traditions it is also one of Italys most dynamic and visionary producers of fine wines, with estates concentrated in the best viticultural areas of Tuscany and Umbria.
The company devotes a tremendous effort to improving the quality of its wines, through carefully planned investments and research programs that cover all aspects of production. The success of these programs allows the company to produce a comprehensive range of quality wines from its different estates in Tuscany and Umbria. Over the years Antinori has received international recognition and gained numerous awards, and enjoys a reputation as a leader and trendsetter.
For many years, Antinori has also owned a restaurant in the centre of Florence called Cantinetta Antinori located inside Palazzo Antinori. Its success has lead to the opening of two other Cantinetta Antinori in Zurich and Vienna. Antinori also owns one of the oldest established florentine delicatessen/gourmet stores called Procacci, famous for its truffle specialities, located opposite Palazzo Antinori.
The Saratoga Wine exchange is pleased to offer many selections of Antinori Wine to buy online as wine gifts.

Video conferencing is available at throughout the Southeast Campuses. To set up a Video Conference for one of these locations contact VCS. You may also need to reserve the room separately. If you would like training, contact your local campus support.
For information on the equipment available, contact Instructional Services Manager Randy Nutting at 907-747-7701 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
For information on the equipment available, or to set up a video conference, contact John Long at 907-228-4531 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our Newest Video Conferencing Equipment
Offering high quality video and audio capabilities, the Tandberg systems provide a new level of video conferencing. Paired with our Vizio flatscreen TVs, these systems offer a significant portal into the UAS video conferencing network and it's many endpoints.
Tandberg units paired with Vizio flatscreens are located on the first floor of Egan Wing in rooms 113, 115, and 116.
Using the Equipment for a Video Conference
When the Tandberg is connected to a call you will see an orange light above the green power light located in the upper left hand corner of the unit. If you see these lights and the TV screen appears black, turn on the TV with the black remote (the white Vizio logo will be illuminated when power is on).
If you see only a green light on the Tandberg this means the conference has not yet started and the system is in standby mode. Make sure the TV is on and wake up the system by pressing the cancel button on the Tandberg remote control. At this point you can use the Selfview button to adjust the camera to your position. Incoming calls will also wake up the system.
If it is past your conference start time and you are not able to view your conference contact VCS toll free at 1-800-910-9601. Note: If you see no picture, please make sure the TV is on by checking that the white Vizio logo on the bottom center of the TV is illuminated. You may need to turn the TV on and off to notice the difference.
Other Tips
Make sure you turn on the lights in the room and adjust the camera to the desired position. By default the microphone will be muted at the beginning of a call. Remember that to speak (and be seen) you must unmute the microphone with the yellow button on the Tandberg remote control. Because the status of your microphone affects when your video feed is displayed in a call, it is recommended that you leave the microphone muted until you want to speak.
If You Experience Problems
If the equipment appears to be working correctly but you do not see the other members of your conference, contact VCS toll free at 1-800-910-9601.
If you have a problem with the equipment please contact your Helpdesk.

The high quality table microphone is designed to use on a table during a video conference. You can connect up to three microphones. The ideal location for the microphone is on a flat surface at least 2m (6.5 ft) from the front of the system. The microphone cable should always point towards the system. The system will automatically equalize sound levels. Loud and soft voices are picked up and transmitted to the far end at approximately the same level. Be care of wiring when standing and walking past the microphone unit.
The system is controlled with a remote control. Think of the remote control as a mobile phone with number keys and call keys. Use the arrow keys and OK to navigate the menu. The system's most commonly used functions are also accessible directly from the remote control.
1. Mic Off turns your microphone on and off.
2. Arrow keys are used for navigation in the menu and for moving the camera when the menu is hidden.
3. Volume + and – adjusts the system volume.
4. The Layout key toggles between full screen and different display layouts.
5. Cancel takes you back one step in the menu system. Use Cancel to delete characters in an input field.
6. Press the Call key to place a call.
7. Camera presets define specific camera positions. Press and hold a number key for 1 second to save the current camera position to that number key. To activate a preset while in a call, simply press and release that number key.
8. Snapshot takes a snapshot of your video. (Only while you are in a call)
9. The Presentation key switches to a predefined presentation source.
10. Press OK/Menu to show the menu and to select menu items.
11. Use Zoom + and – to zoom the camera in and out.
12. Selfview displays your outgoing video. Press Selfview again to turn selfview off.
13. Store and recall your video contacts via the system Phone Book for easy placement of calls.
14. Use the red End Call key to end the current call. Pressing this key when not in a call will place the system in Standby mode.
15. Number/Letter keys function in the same manner as with a mobile or cellular phone.
16. Press Touch tones when you are in a call and need to dial extension numbers etc. (instead of presets).
Selfview shows your outgoing picture. Normally this is the picture of your self (main camera). Selfview is most useful for single monitor systems. On dual monitor systems you already have selfview on the dual monitor. In a normal conference, the far end side is displayed on main monitor. Pressing Selfview will result in near end on main monitor. Outside a call, selfview is already displayed on the screens. Pressing selfview will result in a black screen. Press selfview again to bring the picture back.
How to use Selfview:
1. Press Selfview once to see a full screen picture of yourself (your outgoing video).
2. Press Selfview again to turn selfview off and go back to normal.

UAS has three flatscreen TVs located on the first floor of Egan Wing. These TVs are work with our video conferencing system. They can also be connected to a laptop and used for presentations.

People at high risk for flu complications include: anyone ages 50 or older, pregnant women (any trimester), those suffering from heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, kidney problems or with a weakened immune system, caregivers or those who have household contact with children less than six months old.
Fluzone® High-Dose (HD) Vaccine Fluzone® HD is designed to provide better protection against the flu for people ages 65 and older. This vaccine protects against the same flu viruses as the regular flu shot, but contains more antigens for a stronger immune response from your body. As you get older, your body's immune system weakens and its ability to build up a strong response with immunization decreases.
FluMist® Vaccine This influenza vaccine is administered through a mist into your nose. The vaccine is available for healthy people ages 2 to 49 who are not pregnant. Certain people should not get this vaccine, so ask your Pharmacist if FluMist® is right for you.
Pneumonia Vaccine This one-time vaccination drastically decreases your risk of pneumococcal disease, which causes bacterial meningitis and pneumonia. All adults 65 years and older should receive this vaccination, as well as those ages 2 to 64 who suffer from chronic illness such as diabetes, cardiac disease, renal failure or pulmonary disease. If you have a weakened immune system, you may also be at high risk for a fatal pneumococcal infection. Certain people may need to be revaccinated five years after their first dose; check with your Pharmacist for details.
Tetanus and Diphtheria Vaccine (Td) This vaccine should be received by all adolescents and adults, protecting you against tetanus and diphtheria infections for ten years. Scrapes from gardening tools, splinters from home renovations, animal bites, body piercings, tattoos and post-surgical wounds can all lead to tetanus. Diphtheria is still a public health problem in 87 countries, and the bacteria may still circulate in some parts of the United States and Canada. If it has been ten years since your last Td shot, it is time to repeat this vaccination!
Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (Tdap) Pertussis, better known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious bacterial infection of the respiratory system that causes spasms of severe coughing. While anyone can get whooping cough, young children and infants are at the highest risk for complications, which can result in hospitalization and even death. Immunity from childhood vaccination generally wears off after five to ten years, leaving adolescents and adults susceptible to this highly contagious disease. The current recommendation is a one-time Tdap vaccination for everyone ages 11 to 64, providing protection against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. People 65 years and older should get a Tdap vaccination if they will be in close contact with an infant.
Hepatitis B Vaccine Hepatitis B infects 140,000 to 320,000 people each year. Your risk of infection can be drastically decreased by this three-dose vaccination series (three doses are required to be effective) which are given over the course of six months. Adolescents and young adults should receive this series, as should some health care workers and public-safety workers who are exposed to blood or other potentially infectious body fluids. People with certain medical conditions also should receive this vaccination. See your Pharmacist for specific details.
Hepatitis A Vaccine This two-dose vaccination is recommended for people with certain medical conditions including chronic liver disease, and those travelling outside of the United States to certain countries. After the first dose is given, a second dose is required 6 to 18 months later. See your Pharmacist for specific details.
Meningitis Vaccine This vaccination is for anyone over the age of two who is at risk for a meningitis infection. Vaccination is recommended for all first-year college students living in dormitories, people with anatomic or functional asplenia, military recruits during basic training and travelers to the meningitis belt" of Africa and Asia. There are currently three vaccines available to protect against meningococcal disease. Check with your Pharmacist to see which vaccine is right for you.
Shingles Vaccine Shingles is a virus that causes a painful skin rash with blisters, usually appearing on one side of the face or body. Occasionally, severe cases may involve the eyes and affect vision. While shingles is usually resolved after two to four weeks, there is a chance of developing complications that include postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), causing intense pain that can last for years after the rash has resolved. Because shingles is caused by the same virus as chickenpox, once you have had chickenpox the virus can live but remain inactive in your body for many years. Age and problems with your immune system may increase your risk of getting shingles. The current recommendation is that everyone ages 60 and older receives a one-time dose of Zostavax®. While the FDA has recently approved the use of Zostavax® for anyone 50 years or older, all patients under the age of 60 must have a prescription to receive Zostavax® at our Pharmacies.
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccine (Gardasil) HPV is a common virus. In 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that 20 million people in the United States had this virus. The HPV vaccine helps prevent cervical cancers in females and genital warts in both males and females. Given in three doses over six months, the current recommendation is that all females ages 11 to 26 be vaccinated. Males ages 9 to 26 can receive the vaccination to reduce the likelihood of developing genital warts. The HPV vaccine will not treat cervical cancer or genital warts, and cannot protect against diseases caused by other types of HPV. Speak with your Pharmacist to help gain a better understanding.
Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) Measles causes rash, cough, runny nose, eye irritation and fever. It can lead to ear infection, pneumonia, seizures, and brain damage. Mumps virus causes fever, headache, and swollen glands. It can lead to deafness or meningitis. Rubella virus causes rash, mild fever, and arthritis. Who should get vaccinated? Children should get two doses of MMR vaccine. The first at 12 to 15 months of age. The second at 4 to 6 years of age.
If you're not sure which immunizations you've already had or which immunizations you may need, call your Homeland Pharmacist. Some immunizations require a prescription; your Pharmacist can contact your health care provider if necessary. Pharmacy vaccinations are covered by several insurance plans.

Donnie Wahlberg Gossip
Donnie Wahlberg gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Wahlberg Brotherly Love
Slaven Vlasic/ Ray Tamarra/ Getty Images
Donnie Wahlberg and Dr. Jenny McCarthy were on the Howard Stern show yesterday, and the headline making the rounds is about Jenny and The View maybe or maybe not unofficially asking her back. Who cares. There's another clip floating around that is far more interesting, concerning Donnie Wahlberg and his brother Mark. Full Story
A Very Wahlberg Wedding
Dr. Jenny "You Can't Fire Me I Quit!" McCarthy recently did an interview with Howard Stern, and say what you will about Howard, he has no shame when he interviews a D-list celebrity. (Source) When the topic of her upcoming wedding to Donnie Wahlberg comes up, he grills her about Mark Wahlberg and brings up the rumour that Mark isn't a fan of the relationship. Full Story
Has anyone seen my Tamagotchi?
Floral mini dresses, Winona Ryder, and The Rachel haircut – the 90s were a cultural mixed bag that brought us some great things (Clueless, Reality Bites) and some terrible things (body glitter, 8-ball jackets). But nostalgia is a powerful emotion, hence Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy's new relationship getting headlines (before everything went to hell over the weekend). Full Story
Sit DOWN Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez presented at the Grammy Awards the other night with Donnie Wahlberg. During their intro, like a big brother, Donnie looked over at Selena teasingly when he said Justin Bieber's name. Because she's a 5 year old and doesn't know about not reacting, she pulled a teen move and huffed at the suggestion – like, AS IF she's only there because she's been holding hands with Justin Bieber. Full Story
When does a move get old?
Went to studio to shoot eTalk this morning but forgot keys and Jacek went to get his precious Bradley Cooper hair cut so am well behind and catching up - sorry! For now, enjoy photos from the NKOTB show in Virginia this weekend. It's almost the one year anniversary of my interview with them. Remember Jen? My producer Jen, who is getting married in September, is an NKOTB fan for life. Full Story
Am all for the New Kids, totally. But have to say, these pictures are a little embarrassing. Or maybe it's just me. Apparently doing the boat thing is where it's at these days. John Mayer, right? This weekend NKOTB launched their cruise in Miami, bringing back 80s cheese for photographers. Full Story
Single on tour
Exactly a month to go before NKOTB kicks off the tour in Toronto and for Donnie Wahlberg at least, the timing is perfect. He's single. Donnie's wife Kim Fey has filed for divorce and sole custody of their 2 children and spousal support too, which is another reason why the tour has been fortuitously scheduled. Full Story

Regular readers know that Andy is on crack. He often has irrational man-crushes on players who, to be blunt, suck. Like DeMond Parker, Torrance Marshall and, at near-obsessive levels, Tarvaris Jackson.
But, as they say, even a blind squirell finds a nut once in a while.
So I direct your attention to this post, making a strong case for why the Packers should pick Steve Slaton in last year's draft. A taste:
I find it interesting that the draft "experts", for whatever reason, don't think he's worth much. I reviewed some of his profile and can't quite understand why he's essentially become villified by the draft community. This is a guy who a few years ago finished 4th in Heisman voting.
Here is my very basic thought on the guy. He'd be worth probably a 3rd rounder (though I wouldn't even mind if we picked him up with one of the 2nd round picks). Here's why. Think about the last 2-3 years of watching college football. Every single Sat, in highlight shows, you would hear first that West Virginia probably won, then you'd hear Pat White's name and Steve Slaton's name and then they'd show some ridiculous run featuring some ridiculous athleticism. He's played for a very successful program and his supposedly "down" junior year still had him gaining 1400+ yards on the ground with 18 TDs. One article here, indicates that part of the reason his stats may have declined is simply the presence of Pat White who took plays and carries from Slaton. During his monster season a few years ago, Slaton averaged nearly 7 yards per carry. Last year, it was down to 5, which is still really really good. I would argue he probably hasn't lost a whole lot of his ability, he was just forced to share the workload a bit more when Pat White came onto the scene.
And in his preseason predictions, he wrote on the Texans' running game this way: "Even though Ahman Green is there, the surprise of 2008 will be Steve Slaton (if he can stay injury-free). This guy is a winner who loves the end zone." (Of course he also picked the Tennessee Titans to finish last in the AFC South. I had them in second, but at 9-7).
Slaton ranks #10 in rushing this season — and he wasn't the starter until several games into the seasons. He averages just 15 carries a game — the lowest number of attempts of anybody in the top ten — and still averages 75.3 yards per game. His 5.0 yards/carry average is the best of anyone in the top thirty other than Brandon Jacobs (5.1).
And he doesn't seem to be hitting his rookie wall.
The remarkable thing is that Slaton is this good and he still might be the third best RB in this rookie class, behind both Matt Forte of Chicago and Chris Johnson of Tennessee. (Perhaps Felix Jones, too.)

Steamed Cheese Cake 蒸芝士蛋糕
Saturday, February 23, 2008
Read more...
There is this Steamed Cheese Cake in Sun Moulin bakery (Isetan KL) that I love very much.., moist, cottony soft…
But look at mine… it's not as soft or moist as Sun Moulin's..but still…. Yummy, with a nice cheese aroma..
This is a recipe that I found on Pinky Fantasy's site. Her steamed cake smiled wide, but mine is round with a dome, similar with the one where Pinky Fantasy got the recipe from which is Warm Sweet Home.. Both of them found the cake a bit tasteless on the cheese side, Warm Sweet Home cut down on the cheese, but Pinky Fantasy didn't. Maybe they expected more, I guess…
To me, I expected it to taste somewhat like Sun Moulin's, so I wasn't that disappointed. The strength of the aroma is similar to the one in Sun Moulin, but taste wise… not as soft. The mouth feel is like a steamed pound cake. Sun Moulin's steamed cheese cake has a flat surface, while mine is dome shaped, so, definitely the texture will be different.
This is a definite keeper, nice for breakfast or tea. I modified it a bit, rounding up some measurements making it easier for my non digital weighing scale.
Steamed Cheese Cake Recipe
Ingredients: (I made 7 pcs with this amount, just nice to make a hexagon on my steaming wok.)
100 ml milk
10 gm butter (1 mini plastic pack)
2 pcs cheese slice ( Kraft Singles, Chesdale type, I used Valumetric)
1 large egg
100gm low gluten flour (Pau flour)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
50 gm sugar
1 tbsp cheese powder
1. Bring milk to a boil and turn off the fire. Put in butter and cheese slices to melt. Let mixture cool down a bit and beat in egg.
2. Prepare steamer and bring water to a boil.
3. Sift flour with baking powder. Mix in sugar and cheese powder.
4. Pour the egg cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and combine well.
5. Spoon batter into paper cups in muffin tins.
6. Steam at high heat for 15 minutes.
These were my first attempts before the minor adjustments of recipe.
My 2nd attempt looked smoother on the dome, with the cheese granules not visible.

NEW YORK — Oil surged above $112 per barrel Friday following a drop in the dollar and continued jitters about shipments from the world's major oil suppliers.
Benchmark West Texas Intermediate for May delivery jumped $2.49, or 2.3 percent, to settle at $112.79 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Crude oil set new 30-month highs almost every day this week.

Oil moved higher as the dollar plunged against other major currencies. Oil is traded in dollars and tends to rise when the greenback falls and makes crude cheaper for investors holding foreign currency. The looming shutdown of the federal government threatened to weaken the dollar further and encouraged more buying, according to analysts.
Oil also climbed on fears that violence in Nigeria ahead of the country's national election this weekend could lead to supply interruptions. And in Venezuela a massive blackout appears to have affected some refineries, analysts said. The two countries supply a combined 2 million barrels of oil per day to the U.S.
If crude prices keep rising, experts say, gasoline prices could hit $4 a gallon across the U.S. this summer.
Pump prices have jumped from $3.07 to $3.74 per gallon since the beginning of the year. The swift rise forced the Oil Price Information Service to boost its retail gasoline price forecast to a range of $3.75 to $4 per gallon this year. OPIS chief oil analyst Tom Kloza said it may not be long before the national average tests the all-time record of $4.11 per gallon set in July 2008.
Further price hikes could do serious damage to the U.S. economy, he said. For consumers, "gas prices have more relevance on an emotional level than a lot of other things that they pay for," Kloza said. "People pay more attention to gasoline than phone service, cable TV or other services," Kloza said.
The national average for a gallon of gas is now 88.3 cents higher than the same time last year, according to OPIS, AAA, and Wright Express. It's already above $4 per gallon in California, Alaska and Hawaii, and it's almost there in Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Illinois and New York.
Oil and gasoline prices began a steady rise in February, as the Libyan rebellion shut down the country's daily exports of 1.5 million barrels of oil. Libya produces about 2 percent of world demand, and analysts say making up for those losses will severely reduce the ability of other oil-producing countries to increase production in the future. Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries are covering some of the shortfall in Libyan crude, which went mainly to refineries in Europe.
Barclays Capital has said that Libya's oil exports probably will be offline for several months. As fighting continues more traders are going along with that prediction.Story: Any oil price pullback could be temporary
"The market is being forced to consider a possible major loss of Libyan barrels probably through the rest of this year and into next," analyst Jim Ritterbusch said Friday.
Experts point to other factors that have pushed oil and gasoline to record levels. The U.S. economy added hundreds of thousands of jobs this year. That means gasoline demand could increase this year as more workers join the daily commute. And last month's devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan put further pressure on oil prices. Japan is expected to boost oil and natural gas imports while some of its nuclear power plants are offline.
In other Nymex trading for May contracts, heating oil added 11.37 cents to settle at $3.3197 per gallon and gasoline futures gained 7.42 cents to settle at $3.2607 per gallon. Natural gas lost 1.6 cents to settle at $4.041 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In London, Brent crude rose $3.86 to settle at $126.12 on the ICE Futures exchange.

When the human genome was sequenced a decade ago, scientists hailed the feat as a technical tour de force -- but they also knew it was just a start. Our DNA blueprint was finally laid bare, but no one knew what it all meant.
Now an international team – including researchers from labs at Yale University in New Haven -- has taken the crucial next step by delivering the first in-depth report on what the endless loops and lengths of DNA inside our cells are up to.
"It is like opening a wiring closet and seeing a hairball of wires," said Mark Gerstein, an Encode researcher from Yale told the New York Times. "We tried to unravel this hairball and make it interpretable."
The findings, reported in a slew of papers Wednesday in the journals Nature, Science and other publications, move far beyond a straightforward list of genes. They tally, in a super-complicated catalog, all the places along our DNA strands that are biochemically active -- sites where proteins attach to DNA to control it, or where enzymes move in and make little alterations, and more besides.
Defining this hive of activity is essential, scientists said, because it transforms our picture of the human blueprint from a static list of 3 billion pairs of DNA building blocks into the dynamic master-regulator that it is.
The revelations will be key to understanding how genes are precisely controlled so that they leap into action at the right place and time in our bodies, allowing a whole, healthy human being to develop from a single fertilized egg. In addition, they will help explain how the carefully choreographed process can go awry, causing birth defects, diseases and aging.
"The human genome was a bit like getting 'War and Peace' in Russian: It's a great book containing all of human experience, but (if) I don't know any Russian it's very hard to read," said Ewan Birney, a computational biologist at the European Bioinformatics Institute in England and lead analysis coordinator for the project, which is known as ENCODE. The aim, he said, "is to take the human genome and try to make a usable translation."
The $123 million effort involved more than 400 scientists and more than 1,600 experiments during five years of work. The goal was to take the babel produced by the human genome project - the sequence of 3.2 billion chemical "bases" or "letters" that constitute the human genome - and make sense of it.
"We understood the meaning of only a small percentage of the genome's letters," said Dr. Eric Green, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, which paid for the bulk of the study.
The best-known elements in the genome are the 21,000 or so genes that specify what proteins a cell makes. The dopamine gene makes dopamine in brain cells, for instance, and the insulin gene makes insulin in the pancreas.
Only about 1 percent of the genome codes for proteins, however, and the challenge has been to figure out the function of the other 99 percent, which for years was termed "junk DNA" because it did not code for proteins.
The ENCODE scientists are biology's version of the Occupy movement, said Yale's Gerstein, of the xxx lab, who led one of the ENCODE teams: "For years everyone focused on the 1 percent. ENCODE looks at the 99 percent."
In examining the overlooked part of the genome, the ENCODE scientists discovered that about 80 percent of the DNA once dismissed as junk performs a biological function. Primarily, the not-so-junky DNA constitutes the most sophisticated control panel this side of NASA's, with some 4 million bits of DNA controlling all the rest.
"The 'junk' DNA, the 99 percent, is actually in charge of running the genes," said Gerstein.
That's because "transcription factors" and other regulatory elements - proteins made by this controlling DNA - hopscotch across each cell's double helix, binding to it in a way that turns genes on and off or up and down like a toddler who has just discovered light switches and dimmer dials.
Latest Health
"We draw DNA out as this long, linear thing where you can read from one end to the other, but the reality in the cell is that molecule is folded tightly and compactly and jammed into the nucleus of the cell," said molecular geneticist Joseph Ecker of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, who was not involved in ENCODE but wrote a commentary accompanying the report. When our DNA is crunched up that way, like a hairball, places far apart on a strand could end up very close to each other in physical space.
While exciting, ENCODE is still just a start, emphasized Dr. Eric Green, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, which funded ENCODE. He likened the findings to "grainy images being beamed back to Earth by the first satellite."
Reporting by Sharon Begley of Reuters news service and Los Angeles Times reporter Rosie Mestel.

How to Answer Stupid Job Interview Questions
"Trifecta," said my friend Becky on the phone, although she lives in Colorado; if there's a racetrack around here, it's news to me.
"Trifecta what?" I asked her.
"I just got home from a job interview where they asked me not one, not two, but all three of the idiotic job interview questions you're always railing about."
"All three?" I asked her. "That's amazing. Were these people otherwise reasonable, or was the place a petri dish full of amoebas?"
"Amoebae, I think," said Becky. "I think 'amoebae' is the plural for 'amoeba.'"
"Either way, what were these people like?" I pressed her. "Toads," she said. "I almost didn't go to the interview at all, because the recruiter who set up the appointment said 'Don't be late' to me before she hung up. I knew then and there that I didn't want to work with these people, but like you always say, it's good to go on the interview and get more practice."
"And grow your mojo," I added. "Oh, brother!" said Becky. "This was the world's most slam-dunk mojo-growth interview, let me tell you. As horrible as it was to talk with the toad people, it is nice to remember that I have something valuable to offer, too. It was nice to walk out of there thinking 'If I live to be a million years old, I'll never work for people like that.'"
"Hurrah for you, Becks!" I said. "Now, tell me about the trifecta." Read more…

Residents of manufactured homes seem to be disproportionately affected by tornadoes and other types of windstorms. However, there are steps that can be taken to improve the chances that such homes will be standing after storms with high wind speed and strong gusts pass through an area,' said Julie Rochman, IBHS president and CEO of IBHS.
According to IBHS, models with the highest HUD (U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department) Wind Zone Rating offer higher levels of wind resistance. However, even manufactured homes with tie-downs can overturn during storms because they have light frames and offer winds a large surface area to push against. Also, their exteriors are vulnerable to high winds and wind-borne debris.
The HUD Wind Zone Rating, introduced in 1994, designates three zones that govern construction of new manufactured homes:
- HUD Wind Zone I = 70 mph basic wind speed
- HUD Wind Zone II = 100 mph basic wind speed
- HUD Wind Zone III = 110 mph basic wind speed
You can find wind zone ratings on the home's data plate, a paper sticker located in the master bedroom closet, electrical panel, or inside a kitchen cabinet.
Manufactured homes built before 1994, as well as HUD Wind Zone I homes, are particularly vulnerable to damage during severe wind events, according to IBHS.
Ideally, all manufactured homes should be installed on a permanent foundation, according to IBHS. If a permanent foundation is not feasible, the latest anchorage recommendations for HUD Wind Zone III should be used for maximum resistance against uplift and overturning forces. IBHS' Manufactured Home Inspection Checklist can help homeowners better understand and assess - and then work to reduce — their vulnerabilities to wind — related damage.

This chapter explains service provider connectivity
and provides information detailing how to configure
different service provider connections for SMS messaging using the
Ozeki NG - SMS Gateway software.
In SMS messaging using Ozeki NG - SMS Gateway, a service
provider is an entity that is responsible for sending and delivering SMS
messages from users/applications of the program to recipient mobile phones,
and responsible for sending SMS messages from mobile phones to Ozeki NG -
SMS Gateway, which will deliver them to users/applications
of the program.
To be able to send and receive SMS messages using Ozeki
NG - SMS Gateway, you need to pay one or more GSM service providers for
the service described above, and you have to connect Ozeki NG - SMS Gateway
to the SMS Center of one or more service providers.
You can do this in two ways:
You can connect to the SMS Center using a GSM modem
attached to the PC with a phone-to-PC data cable. In this case you
pay for the service by buying a SIM card from the service provider.
Direct connection to the SMS Center by setting up an IP
SMS account with one or more GSM service providers has several advantages,
including a greater speed and reliability.
For SMS messaging with a GSM modem,
you need to use a suitable GSM device.
For more information, check out the following guide:
Recommended hardware / GSM modems
The format of SMS messages exchanged between Ozeki NG - SMS
Gateway and the SMS Center of the GSM service provider is governed by an SMS
protocol. When you install a service provider connection, you have to select
the appropriate protocol. The service provider will tell you which protocol to
use and will give you the protocol-specific parameters, such as the username
and password, IP address etc.
Ozeki NG - SMS Gateway allows the installation and configuration of the
following protocols / service provider connections:

Seymour Duncan has been making bass pickups for decades for some of the biggest names in the business, such as Flea, Steve Harris and Duff McKagan. We understand just how important your bass sound is to the overall sound of the band and your own personal musical expression. That's why we make single coils, humbuckers, active pickups, bass preamps, specialty models and pedals to help you customize the tone of your instrument, no matter what type of bass you play.
The heart of the Quarter Pound series is its 1/4" pole pieces which beef up the pickup's magnetic field and give you a fatter, punchier tone that's great for harder-hitting styles like heavy rock and metal, or for simply getting more growl and grind from your bass.
Whether you play a 4-string or 5-string Music Man or similar style bass, and whether you prefer a vintage or modern sound, we have pickups for you. Our Music Man pickups are offered in an aggressively punchy ceramic version as well as an authentic, organically-voiced Alnico 5 version and a three-coil Alnico 5 model which can be paired with a three-way blade switch for three different hum-cancelling sounds from one pickup.
The Apollo 4-string set has a traditional Jazz Bass look but its full, warm voice is augmented by extra punch and clarity. These linear humbuckers eliminate noise while creating a sonic fatness.
The Studio Bass is a pro-grade compressor with a twist: its unique Blend knob and 3-way mini toggle switch will allow you to select the frequency range of the original uncompressed signal as well as infinitely adjusting the amount of "wet" versus "dry" signal routed to the output.
This set is all about hot output, powerful attack and massive attitude. The 1/4" diameter poles and hot coil windings dish out a full, even response with great sustain and complexity. And the neck pickup is wound RW/RP (reverse wind / reverse polarity) for hum cancellation when both pickups are used together.

Complete Guide to Turning the Nook Color Into a Great Android 2.2 (Froyo) Tablet
If you are new to Nook Color operating system and install options, I strongly recommend reading this guide to picking your Nook Color operating system and installer. And if you want something even better and easier than the Froyo install documented below, check out my more recent Complete Guide to Installing CyanogenMod 7 (CM7) on the Nook.
I recently stumbled onto the most amazing tablet I've seen yet, amazing not because it rivals Apple's iPad or Motorola's Xoom in features but because it blows them away in price (about $250), utility (it's screen is just big enough to be comfortable, just small enough to fit easily in a jacket pocket), and style (it's got a quirky, rugged charm that grows on you). The Barnes & Noble Nook Color was not intended to be a tablet, it was intended to be an e-reader, but some clever folks have figured out how to unleash its potential by unlocking and/or replacing its limited version of Google's Android OS, and by doing so they have created what I think is one of the best tablets out there. It may lack a forward and rear facing camera, it may lack a microphone, but by god is this thing a pleasure to own. And now I'm going to share with you the lessons I learned in a brutal, sleepless weekend trying to get up to speed with the Nook Color modding community and what they could do. If you have a Nook Color and you follow through with the steps outlined in this guide, in a matter of an hour or two you'll have a very stable, highly functional, overclocked Android tablet running Android 2.2 (aka Froyo); more recent versions, 2.3 (Eclair) and 3.0 (Honeycomb), have not yet been sufficiently tailored to be reliable on the Nook Color. Your new Froyo Nook Color will be almost as stable a store bought tablet at half the price, while running at 1.1 GHz, 40% faster than the original Color Nook and about the same speed as other much more expensive tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The approach documented here is to run the OS on a bootable microSD card rather than replace the original Nook Color firmware. I like this approach because the performance I'll experience is roughly similar to that using the built-in memory, and I can still access the original device in its original form if I like, for the e-reader features, should I choose to use them. And if the device proves itself defective in time, the device is still "original".
Step 0: Buy a Nook and a High Speed microSD Card
Before we begin you'll need the hardware, specifically:
- Barnes & Noble Nook Color $249
- Buy a microSD card $7 - 15
You want to make sure you get a microSD card that is fast, but stay away from the class 10 rated cards! I can recommend the PNY class 4 microSD cards because of the three I've purchased all perform at class 10 speeds (they all write at ~12 MB/s and read at ~84 MB/s) and they actually work well in the Nook Color. The class 10 Patriot LX SD cards I bought behaved very badly, making my system very unstable; the kernel would freak out randomly and every app would start to crash as the filesystem became read only. My experience was not unique, people using all makes of class 10 cards have had problems getting them to work reliable (if at all) with the Nook Color.
Step 1: Make Android Froyo SD card
Simply follow the painless guide on NookDevs and within a few minutes you'll have a bootable microSD with Froyo on it that you can stick in your Nook Color:
NookDev Guide to Burning a Bootable Froyo SD Card
You'll only be using a fraction of the total size of the card at this point, we'll cover accessing the rest of it later.
Step 2: Android Debug Bridge
To add the initial, critical apps (e.g., Google's Market, app store) and do the required customization you will need to install the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) tools as well as the necessary USB drivers, and a Java JDK if you don't have one:
NookDev Guide to Installing ADB for the Nook Color
The process isn't fun, but you only have to do it once.
Make sure to change your Windows PATH variable to include the platform-tools folder (where adb.exe is located). I have found that some adb commands will not accept the path to a file as a parameter, and will tell you the file does not exist even though it does (very frustrating and confusing). By including the platform-tools directory you can run adb from the directory where the file in question is so that you have no such problems.
Step 3: Basic Froyo Customization
It is now time to do the basic mods of your vanilla Froyo install to make the Nook Color a fully functional (and usable) tablet. Here again we rely on the great:
Walk through this document doing all the items listed. Be careful to note the text indicating which steps are not required because your version of Froyo already includes those enhancements. Also, I recommend against doing the Adobe Flash step listed on this page, as it did not appear to do anything for me. Below I list apps you should add to your device and Adobe Flash will be covered there.
Ignore the section on overclocking, we'll tackle that separately down below.
Softkeys Versus Remapped Volume Keys
The reason you want to map the hardware keys is because the Nook Color is missing two critical physical buttons that you desperately need, Menu and Back. If you don't map the hardware keys (in the section Remapping Volume Buttons to MENU and BACK Buttons) you can use the Softkeys app, which will make virtual buttons appear on screen when you need them by clicking an always-on-top virtual button. Personally I think you'd be silly to use Softkeys, since these keys are so needed. Adjusting your volume is far less critical; I separately add a widget to the home screen to easily adjust volume.
Slow to Start
When you first run your new Froyo install you may initially feel the OS is painfully slow. Not to worry! Services are still starting up and various caches are being created. After an hour or two of use the responsiveness will be much improved.
Battery Indicator
I haven't read about this happening for anyone else, but on my Nook Color the battery indicator went crazy at some point during the upgrading, artificially reading 53% when the battery was nearly full, and at another time reading -20435%. I left the device plugged into the wall over night and when I turned it on in the morning the battery was reading properly, and has been ever since.
Step 4: Adding Important Apps
Now it's time to install a bunch of apps (almost all of them free) to get the most out of your Froyo experience. The list of apps I was recommending got rather long so it now has its own page. I strongly recommend you go now and install all of these Must Have Apps for your Nook Color.
Obviously you can add more apps beyond those, but you walking that list you will cover the basics and be in good shape to proceed.
Froyo seems to have a serious peculiarity where downloading apps in the Market may go very, very, very slowly. I experienced this with my class 10 performing but class 4 rated PNY cards, but others reported no such problems when they used a class 6 card. When I installed Gingerbread / CM 7 instead of Froyo the problem was completely absent.
Step 5: Backup Your Progress
Now we back up the progress we've made so far, so that if something goes wrong in the next step (replacing the kernel) we can just revert and try again.
Shut down your Nook Color. Remove the microSD card and plug it into your computer's card reader.
If you're a Windows user, use the free software Image Writer to create the backup image, if you're on anything else you can use "dd".
The backup might take 5 - 15 minutes, depending on the size and speed of your card.
Step 6 : Upgrade the kernel!
If you don't know what the kernel (aka ROM) is, it's the core OS code upon which everything else depends. And we're now going to replace your stock Froyo kernel with a greatly enhanced version. The main reason to do this is to allow overclocking of your Nook Color, but it also fixes things like volume issues with the headphones, solves touch screen problems, and adds Bluetooth support!
The first thing to do is to download the kernel you need. We're going to use Dalingrin's OC (overclocking) kernel. Follow the link in Dalingrin's kernel announcement thread for the "Froyo and CM7 kernel". Then choose the most recent dated folder, navigate the hellishly confusing minefield that is the Mediafire download hosting site, and get the download you need which will be called "update-froyo-dalingrin-OC-sd-MMDDYY.zip" (where the MMDDYY is replaced with the date of the recent version).
Unzip this file to a folder you can easily get to in a DOS window. FYI, the only file we will actually be needing in the zip is the "uImage" file, which is the new kernel.
The installation path given in the discussion thread isn't right for our Nook Color with Froyo SD. So, instead of what they say, do this:
> adb shell mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard
> adb push uImage /mnt/sdcard/uImage
And immediately after this, clear the Dalvik Cache (it's a cache of JIT binaries):
> adb shell
# rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/*
# reboot
Your Nook Color will shut down and when it comes back it will be running the latest kernel!
If something goes wrong and your device won't boot or in some other way seems seriously screwed up, just shut down, pop out the microSD card and use Image Writer to restore the image you previously backed up. Dealing with any problems is beyond the scope of this article, your best bet for support would be the people in this thread. And don't forget, we're doing all this on the microSD, you can always pop-out the microSD and your original Nook Color is still there.
If you experience subsequent WiFi problems (such as wifi refusing to stay on, where it loops trying to turn it on then going off) clear your Dalvik Cache with the adb shell and rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/* reboot approach I listed above! Or buy the pro version of Titanium Backup which includes a cache cleaning feature.
ClockworkMod Recovery is a system which facilitates kernel upgrades and prevents you from getting into a situation where you would need to revert to a previous backup of your kernel/ROM. Serious kernel upgraders would be better off using that approach, but if you're just doing it once, or every once in a while, the above approach should suffice. Unfortunately, for some reason it won't work properly on my (and presumably this) installation of Froyo to an SD card. When I try to back up ROMs it crashes the Nook Color, and when I try to go into ClockworkMod Recovery (from the app or from cold boot and the Power + Nook button combo it ignores me); it does however sometimes randomly drop me into ClockworkMod Recovery after a spontaneous Nook Color crash.
Step 7: Overclocking
Go into the CPU Tuner app you installed and adjust the upper limits of the CPU to 1100 MHz. I set the upper limit to 1100 MHz for only the Performance, Good, and Normal profiles. I made sure the lower limit was 300 MHz for all profiles. Most people report no problems overclocking their Nook Color. If you have problems, you can always revert your CPU Tuner settings.
Step 8: Repartitioning your Virtual SD Card
The final task is to expand the partition containing your virtual SD card. At the moment you are using only 2 GB of your real microSD card, because that was the size of the image we used to write the original Froyo card. The rest of the microSD card is currently wasted, and we want to add that the partition that is used for your virtual microSD card. Repartitioning while preserving your data requires special software that can expand a Linux partition. One such product for a Windows user is EASUS Partition Master, which is under $20. Simply shutdown your Nook Color, move the microSD card into the PC's card reader and use that software to expand the sdcard partition to occupy the rest of the card; if anyone knows of a good free alternative, let me know!
Hopefully my time wasted figuring all this out will be your time saved and enjoying a truly fantastic tablet experience.
While your Nook Color may not compete with the iPad 2 in terms of power and features, you'll probably find you use it more than you would an iPad 2 because it's compact enough to always be with you.
After Thoughts
The wifi turn of/off loop (mentioned above) can be pretty irritating; the solution involves rebooting and clearing the Dalvik Cache. It didn't happen to me at all yesterday, but did three times today. A solution I'm now trying is using the "Green Power FREE battery saver" app.
Bluetooth is available in the Nook Color, meaning you can use Bluetooth keyboards, GPS dongles, and audio devices! But... the Bluetooth features are not available as yet in the Froyo kernel. The features are available in the CM7 kernel. Since I ran the CM7 kernel accidentally a few days ago on my Froyo install without seeming complaint I'm wondering if perhaps switching to the CM7 kernel would give my Froyo Bluetooth support. I'm guessing running the CM7 kernel on a Froyo install would lead to subtly serious problems in the long run. I've got a great iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth keyboard ready to use, so this deserves more investigating.
CyanogenMod 7 Early Experience
Just today I got a new class 10 microSD card in the mail and decided that I'd give CyanogenMod 7 (CM7) a try since "verygreen" had a great description on how to install CM7 to SD card and it sure looked easy. And, well, it was! Within a couple hours I'd installed CM7, ported all my apps (and data) over (with Titanium Backup's help), installed Dalingrin's OC latest kernel! I wanted to explore CM7 because people are getting Bluetooth working on it, and I wanted that. Also, others were talking about how it was "better". So far all I can say is it feels much faster! The major slowness of Market downloads/etc. I experienced with Froyo on a class 4 card were totally gone on CM7. Also, a pretty cool Softkeys like set of buttons is in the status bar at the top as part of CM7, though unless you want to remap the hardware keys you still need something when apps go fullscreen. This time I tried Button Savior which I like a lot better than Softkeys. I elected not to remap the hardware keys this time, since the status bar solution means I'm fine 85% of the time, it's just when fullscreen is employed that I need virtual buttons, and Button Savior's solution is elegant enough for that. Had a few hiccups during the process, but nothing that you'll probably experience. I did get BT working with my iGo Stowaway keyboard, which is awesome! (The secret is, turn off wifi, reboot, then turn on BT, then turn wifi back on.) The Dalvik Cache got screwed up at one point and everything was doing force closes. I manually deleted the cache and rebooted, since then things behaved. Also ran ClockwordMod's permission fix feature, just in case. ClockworkMod still won't back up my ROM. Everything so far seems great, except video... Video framerates are like 8-10 fps, across the board in every app and even as you scroll windows in the OS. I'm sure this will get fixed soon, but just be aware that's what you'll have right now if you jump over to this. Froyo had perfect video playback, but no BT.
Here are some photos from my sweet CM7 RC4 setup (with iGo Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard)!

A 56-year-old woman was shot to death in the South Chicago neighborhood, one of five people killed in South Side shootings between 2:30 p.m. Wednesday and 12:30 a.m. Thursday.
Ten others survived attacks during a period of about 12 hours in which 15 people were shot, police said.
The most recent slaying happened about 11:40 p.m. in the 1600 block of East 79th Street. A woman there was shot in the head, police said. Linda Williams, 56, of the 7900 block of South East End Avenue, was declared dead at 1:43 a.m. at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital.
The 56-year-old didn't appear to be the target, according to police and witnesses.
A shooting about 7 p.m. in Englewood left a man fatally wounded and a teenage boy injured. Vaughn Allison, 20, was declared dead at Stroger Hospital at 6:37 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
A boy, 16, was also shot as the two sat on the man's porch in the 7000 block of South Normal Avenue. Both were taken to Stroger hospital, initially in serious condition.
A man was shot to death about 6:48 p.m. on the 7500 block of South Carpenter Street, according to Police News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien. The man was idnetified as Scottie Cartledge, of the 6300 block of South Fairfield Avenue, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office, which determined he died of multiple gunshot wounds.
A source identified the victim as a 36-year-old man who had been sitting on a lawn chair near the embankment of some railroad, apparently drinking beer.
Someone walked up to him and fatally shot him, wounding him twice in the head.
About 2:15 p.m., a 34-year-old man was shot and killed in the 0-100 block of West 107th Street in the Fernwood neighborhood, authorities said. The man was on the street when someone walked up to him and shot him, police said.
Police had no detailed description of the shooter or what happened. The Cook County medical examiner's officie identified the man as Michael Kizer, and he lived on the same block where he was killed. He was pronounced dead at 3:11 p.m. at the scene.
A man who lives near the scene of the shooting on 107th Street said he was in his bedroom watching a baseball game on television when he heard four shots. The man went outside and saw man on the ground next to his car in the driveway of a nearby house, bleeding from his chest.
The dead man's stepmother and two brothers had arrived at the scene. A young girl was seen weeping a few yards from the scene as detectives pored over evidence inside the crime scene tape. The victim's brothers paced up and down 107th Street trying to make sense of the shooting.
The family that lives in the home where the shooting took place has lived in the neighborhood for a few years, neighbors said.
Two people were shot in related incidents blocks from each other about the same time in the West Pullman neighborhood, police said. One of the two men shot was wounded several times in the 12200 block of South Halsted Street about 1 p.m., Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said. The man, believed to be in his 20s, was pronounced dead at Roseland Hospital.
The man was believed to have been on the street when a Hyundai or Toyota pulled up and people inside opened fire, Mirabelli said.
About the same time, about two blocks west near 122nd Street and Carpenter Street, a 21-year-old man was wounded in the groin after someone in a gray Hyundai opened fire, Mirabelli said. The man was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized, Mirabelli said.
The shooting occurred on a block of small single-family homes with tidy lawns and parkways. Several people were out raking while crime scene tape fluttered in a stiff breeze. At least two shell casings could be seen in the street as detectives went door to door. Shell casings were also visible at the Halsted crime scene, which took place in front of a small grocery store.
About 5:45 p.m., four people – three of them teens – were shot in the 300 block of East 47th Street in the city's Bronzeville neighborhood. They group was standing outside a cellphone store when someone shot at them from inside a passing silver car, police said.
A 15-year-old boy was shot in the shoulder and leg and is in good condition at the University of Chicago hospitals, police said. A 19-year-old woman was also shot in the leg and was taken to the same hospital. A 19-year-old man was hit in the buttocks and taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County and a 41-year-old man grazed in the shoulder was treated for his wound at the scene.
All are expected to survive their wounds, police said.
About 8:52 p.m., a 30-year-old man was shot on the 0 to 100 block of East 43rd Street, police said. He was standing in a group when someone fired toward him from inside a red van, which fled the scene, police said. He was taken to Stroger Hospital with a gunshot wound to the thigh, and released after being treated for his wound.
An 18-year-old was shot in both legs about 12:45 a.m. Thursday in the 6300 block of South Hamilton Avenue. Someone stepped out of a gangway and started shooting, hitting the man in both legs. He's in stable condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center.
Another man, 38, was shot in the 7000 block of South Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. He was hit in the leg about 9:45 p.m. Police said someone fired shots from a light-colored vehicle and sped away. The man was taken to Stroger hospital.
A 24-year-old man was dropped off at St. Anthony Hospital with a graze wound to his head early Thursday morning. He had been shot near Lexington Avenue and Springfield Avenue, police said.
