Pasta Pots
A pasta pot is simply a tall pot that has a specially fitted colander inserted. Unlike a steamer the colander is fitted closer to the bottom of the saucepan so that the food contents can be submerged in liquid, as opposed to steamer when the food is held above the liquid so the steam can cook it. The pasta pot is ideal for those who struggle to tilt drain liquid from cooked food; this is also handy if you have limited wrist strength due to arthritis or other similar medical issues. When the pasta or spaghetti is cooked simply turn off heat and lift up the colander insert and let the pasta drain before transferring to a bowl. This saucepan can also be used as a steamer if needed, just add enough liquid so fill the pot just below the does not come up through the colander and steam away. Finally if you remove the colander insert then you can use it as a normal stock pot.

DOVER — Pollsters at the University of New Hampshire have taken criticism from both sides of the aisle this year for their measurements of the presidential race, but in the end, it appears the UNH Survey Center was on target.

DOVER — Pollsters at the University of New Hampshire have taken criticism from both sides of the aisle this year for their measurements of the presidential race, but in the end, it appears the UNH Survey Center was on target.
UNH conducted its final "WMUR Granite State Poll" on the presidential race between Nov. 1-4. The poll found Obama holding a 4 point advantage over Republican Mitt Romney, leading by a tally of 50 percent to 46 percent among likely New Hampshire voters.
The final poll conducted by New England College also had Obama winning New Hampshire by the same margin.
While none of the major polls conducted the week before the election hit the nail on the head, UNH and New England College appear to have come closest to accurately gauging voter sentiment.
On Tuesday, Obama carried New Hampshire by close to 6 points, beating Romney by a tally of 52.2 percent to 46.4 percent, according to results compiled by WMUR.
Voter turnout was high for both parties in New Hampshire this year, and with Democrats now appearing to hold an edge in the state's electorate, the results of the election didn't come as a surprise, according to UNH pollster Andy Smith.
"The biggest thing is there are just more Democrats than Republicans in New Hampshire," said Smith, an associate professor who directs the UNH Survey Center. "We've been seeing for the last several years that Democrats have about a 5 percentage point advantage over Republicans in numbers in the state."
Nearly all the of the polls released on the eve of the election showed a tight race in New Hampshire. Public Policy Polling and Rasmussen Reports both gave the advantage to Obama in their final polls, estimating that the president carried a 2-point advantage over Romney.
Gravis Marketing, a public opinion research firm that also develops software for campaigns, released a poll on Nov. 1 that showed Obama holding a 1-point lead, and carrying 50 percent of the vote.
"I think in the end, pollsters did a fairly good job," said Dick Bennett, president of American Research Group, a polling firm based in Manchester.
ARG's final poll predicted that Obama and Romney were tied among likely New Hampshire voters at 49 percent each. Bennett said ARG's poll accurately predicted trends that emerged on election day, such as the schism between Democratic voters in urban areas and Republicans in more rural areas.
"We saw that coming," Bennett said. "I think where our numbers diverged, the Republicans who were telling us they were likely to vote, the proportion, we were slightly high on that, and that's basically the difference." Bennett said one reason that UNH's polling data has come under fire this year is because it tended to show large swings between polls.
One poll conducted by UNH showed Obama jumping from a 5-point lead in early September to a 15-point lead over Romney at the end of the month. A week later, Obama was back down to a 6-point lead.
Former Republican Gov. John Sununu was among those who criticized UNH's projection of a 15-point margin in Obama's favor. Sununu called UNH's polling ''extremely volatile,'' and dismissed the poll as a "piece of garbage" during an appearance on MSNBC, according to a report from the Concord Monitor.
"We've gotten a lot of abuse this year from Republicans who didn't like the results they were seeing in our polls, but that's part of the game," Smith said after last week's election.
Although some Republicans were dissatisfied with the UNH Survey Center's polling methodology this year, Democrats have also voiced objections in the past when polls weren't going in favor of their candidates.
In 2009, an editor at the progressive website Daily Kos called Smith's polling "unreliable," and said his analysis is "consistently Republican spin."
"In short, Andy Smith acts, in his polling and his analysis, as a partisan Republican — but because he says he's independent, reporters swallow every ridiculous claim he makes as truth from on high," wrote freelance editor Laura Clawson.
In October 2012, Daily Kos Political Director David Nir encouraged readers to "not pay a lot of attention to UNH's whacky results." The message came after a poll showed Republican Congressman Frank Guinta shooting up in the polls and taking a 7-point lead over Democrat Carol Shea-Porter, who eventually defeated him.
During a panel discussion at UNH, Smith said the biggest problem with polling in any election is not determining voter sentiment, but rather, figuring out which voters are going to show up at the polls.
Polls are also subject to variability because many people don't make up their minds until the day of the election. Voters can change their opinions in line with the day-to-day fluctuations in the campaign, he said.
For pollster Doug Kaplan, of Gravis Marketing, some of the criticism from conservatives this year is understandable because it was difficult to predict this year's turnout.
Democrats turned out in droves in 2008, but many conservatives believed the phenomenon would not repeat in 2012, and that Democrats were being "oversampled" in political polling.
"I think the key is that everyone has good intentions...," Kaplan said. "I just don't think people understood the turnout. People just thought 2008 was a phenomenal year, and it wasn't. Everyone now knows the electorate has changed on a presidential level."
One big winner in Tuesday's election was so-called "polling aggregators" — websites and experts who compile polling data to make predictions on political contests. One example is the website RealClearPolitics.com, which maintains a running average of the latest polling available.
The most high-profile example of a polling aggregator is the FiveThirtyEight blog at The New York Times, which is operated by 34-year-old statistician Nate Silver.
Silver's election forecasts have proved uncannily successful in the past, and this year he correctly predicted the presidential winner in all 50 states, and almost all the Senate races.
In the run-up to election day, Silver predicted 90.9 percent certainty that Obama would win, and forecast him getting 313 electoral college votes. With the final vote tally now complete in Florida, Obama's final electoral college tally is 332 votes.
Silver was already in the spotlight at the start of this election season, after correctly predicting the outcome of the presidential race in all but one state during the 2008 election.
This year, Democrats flocked to Silver's blog and took daily solace in his consistent prediction that Obama would win the election by a small majority.
However, commentators on the right were critical of Silver, who was accused of weighting his forecasts too heavily toward Democrats.
Although Silver was vindicated in the election, Smith said he still has reservations about Silver's methodology. Smith also pointed out that polling aggregators like Silver must still rely on the work of others to gather data. "They've done alright," he said. "But you know what? I don't give them so much credit as the pollsters who put the final numbers in."
Bennett said taking a simple numerical average of the latest polls would produce about the same predictions that Silver came up with. Bennett said he questions how much value people like Silver add by applying complex formulas to make their prognostications.
Nevertheless, it appears voters are paying more attention to people like Silver during election season, Bennett said.
American Research Group has sponsored a contest during the last two presidential cycles asking voters to predict the outcome of all 56 electoral college races. Last time around, thousands entered the contest, and not a single person guessed every race correctly. This year, 13 people won.
"I think probably the aggregation is helping, because ... we had basically ordinary people who were able to pick it," Bennett said.

1990s Pool Party
Text: Natasha Stagg
On Friday (December 7th), we previewed Marcelo Krasilcic's photography book 1990s at Lords South Beach Hotel in Miami. It is due out from OSMOS in February. As the title suggests, these photos are all from the 1990s, and they look it. Locations include New York, Rio, London, Los Angeles, Havana, Paris, Sau Paulo, Berlin, Munich... The blissed-out mood of the two-volume (one landscape, one portrait) collection is timeless, though, and even locationless, since most of the action happens in bedrooms. The general vibe of these birthday parties, slumber parties, and no-doubt drug-addled no-reason parties could be from a 1970s hippie commune or a present-day post-rave hangout. Krasilicic's subjects sometimes burst off the page, almost literally (at least one is photographed during orgasm).
At the party, selections were projected onto a floating ball over the pool, and partygoers mused over viewing other parties within this one, and at early portraits of Maurizio Cattelan, Chloe Sevigny and the cover image of Every Thing But the Girl's 1996 release, Walking Wounded.

Good Friday Evening All,
I would love to know how I can save all of the content on my Xara "Online Content Catalog" onto my 16GB USB drive? I think if I am able to save the content from the online catalog, I can then save the content to any of my 3 computer hard drives. Finally, how do I separate the different catagories of catalog content if that's possible. Maybe it does not matter if the content is separated or does it? I am using Xara WD 365 with recent update. Thanks so much all.

Springtime Reminder For Turkey Hunters – Safety First
Hunting is safe and getting safer, but hunters asked to check their safety list.
PRATT, KS –-(Ammoland.com)- The youth/disabled and archery spring turkey seasons began April 1 and run through April 12, and the regular season runs April 13-May 31. During these seasons, Kansas hunters must remember one word that exemplifies the perfect hunt: safety.
Responsible hunters are sure of their targets — and what lies beyond them — before firing, and they hunt defensively to protect themselves from the mistakes of others.
The following are just a few defensive safety tips to follow when pursuing America's largest game bird this spring:
- set up against a stump, tree, or rock that is wider than your shoulders and higher than your head;
- never wear or carry the colors red, white, light blue, or black — the colors of a wild turkey gobbler — when turkey hunting;
- eliminate movement and set up in open timber rather than thick brush;
- avoid imitating the sound of a gobbling turkey;
- watch other game and listen for the alarm cries of blue jays, crows, squirrels, or woodpeckers that can tip you off to the presence of another hunter;
- assume any noise you hear is another hunter; and
- never move, wave, or make turkey sounds to alert another hunter of your presence but remain still and call out in a loud, clear voice to announce.
Including the archery-only season and youth/disabled seasons, Kansas hunters will be able to hunt for two full months. During the youth season, youth 16 and younger must be accompanied by an adult 18 or older.
The adult may not hunt during the youth season (except with archery equipment). No hunting license is required for resident hunters 15 and younger, but a valid Kansas turkey permit is required.
For more information, contact the nearest office of the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks or visit the agency's website, www.kdwp.state.ks.us.

Rover Undergrad
JPL software engineer Lucy Abramyan interned in three programs at JPL during high school and college. She is now a software engineer at the lab.
Transcript:Rover Undergrad
Hi I'm Lucy Abramyan. I'm a software engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
I started working at JPL in 2003 and this was around the time where the Mars Exploration Rovers were launching.
So it was in summer and the atmosphere at JPL was amazing. For a high school intern was who is 16 years old, this was the most exciting place to be.
The team that I was on my first year was working on writing operations planning software for the Mars Exploration Rovers so as a high school student I actually got a chance to write code, help with the testing and help scientists with the preparation for actually being on Mars
As a high school junior and senior, Abramyan interned in the JPL Summer High School Internship Program.
During college she interned at JPL in two more programs: NASA Space Grant and Caltech's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship.
So I was getting so much out of the internships, they encourage what a scientist has to go through. They tell you that you have to write a proposal, you have to go through the same steps of writing a final report and documenting your progress
And five years later, these scientists are still excited about being a part of history.
After college, Abramyan came to work at JPL as a software engineer for ATHLETE, a robot that may one day assist astronauts on the moon.
ATHLETE is the All-Terrain Hex-Limbed Extraterrestrial Explorer.
ATHLETE has a six-sided frame which means it has six different faces. Each face has a stereo pair of cameras which act like eyes, human eyes and it can return images that can be in 3D.
The rover has six legs and each leg has six degrees of freedom. The special thing about this is that not only can we drive on wheels but we can use the legs to walk around over large rocks or on terrain that we couldn't necessarily drive over.
Now I'm looking at ways to allow operators to enter an immersive environment where they can see and almost feel what ATHLETE is feeling when they're in this environment.
And this involves a lot of research and a lot of different fields of computer science.
When I tell my friends about what I do, they are amazed, they can't believe it. They all unanimously agree that I have the best job in the world.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Federal prosecutors in New Hampshire changed their witnesses and strategy to do what they failed to do a year ago — convict a Rwandan woman of falsely obtaining U.S. citizenship by concealing her role in a 1994 genocide.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Federal prosecutors in New Hampshire changed their witnesses and strategy to do what they failed to do a year ago — convict a Rwandan woman of falsely obtaining U.S. citizenship by concealing her role in a 1994 genocide.
Upon hearing the guilty verdicts Thursday, nearly a year after another jury failed to reach one, 43-year-old Beatrice Munyenyezi put her head down on the defense table and wept loudly.
U.S. District Court Judge Steven McAuliffe stripped her of her citizenship — in the same courthouse where she obtained it a decade ago — and ordered her taken into custody to await sentencing June 3. She faces up to 10 years in prison and deportation.
Munyeneyzi's 18-year-old daughter, Saro, sobbed as she left the courtroom.
Defense attorney David Ruoff said they will appeal her conviction. He said prosecutors this time around brought in witnesses who were "less disbelievable" than those who testified at the first trial, including several Rwandas who were serving life sentences for murders and rapes they committed during the genocide.
"The evidence presented by the government was a lot different than it was last time," Ruoff said. "We knew we had an uphill battle. They knew what their problems were in the other case and they fixed them."
The jury last year deliberated 19 hours before reporting it was hopelessly deadlocked. This time, jurors spent less than five hours mulling 10 days of testimony before announcing their verdicts Thursday.
Munyenyezi was indicted in June 2010 and remained in custody until last April — when she was released to home confinement in Manchester a month after the mistrial was declared.
The first count alleged she denied any role in the genocide or affiliation with any political party at the time. The second count alleged she was not eligible for citizenship because she entered the country unlawfully by making the same false statements on her refugee and green card applications.
In the second trial, prosecutors called upon new witnesses who placed Munyenyezi at a checkpoint where Tutsis were identified by the ethnicity listed on their Rwandan ID cards and ordered killed. Other witnesses testified they saw her in the garb worn by leaders of the MRND — the extremist Hutu political party.
The only comment offered by Assistant U.S. Attorney John Capin outside of court: "She's guilty."
Munyenyezi's husband, Arsene Shalom Ntahobali, and his mother were convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda and sentenced to life in prison in June 2011 for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes of violence. Both were deemed to be high-ranking members of the Hutu militia party that orchestrated savage attacks on members of the rival Tutsis. Ntahobali also was convicted of rape. His mother was a cabinet minister in the Hutu-dominated Rwandan government when the genocide began in early April 1994.
At that time, Munyenyezi lived in Butare, at a hotel owned by her husband's family. Hotel workers testified she was pregnant with twins, and had a baby daughter to care for, and stayed in the hotel until July. Munyenyezi, when she testified on her husband's behalf before the international tribunal, said there was no roadblock in front of the hotel and that life at the hotel was "boring."
But jurors saw U.S. Department of Defense satellite photos that showed a roadblock in front of the hotel and the line of people Capin called "a human traffic jam." He said Munyenyezi had "a front row seat" during the genocide.
Defense Attorney Mark Howard, in his final argument, assailed the credibility of prosecution witnesses who only last year implicated her for the first time in the genocide.
To prove Munyenyezi lied on her immigration and naturalization papers, prosecutors had to convince the jury she took an active part in the genocide, contrary to sworn statements on her refugee application in 1995 and citizenship application in 2003.
Her lawyers argued to jurors that she was the victim of lies by Rwandan witnesses who never before implicated her through nearly two decades of investigations and international trials, even when testifying against her husband and mother-in-law at the tribunal in Tanzania.
The same team of prosecutors in Munyenyezi's case secured a conviction against her sister last summer in Boston on charges of fraudulently obtaining a visa to enter the United States by lying about her own Hutu political party affiliations. Prudence Kantengwa also was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice related to her immigration court testimony. She was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison.
Munyenyezi brought her three daughters to the United States in 1998 and focused on providing a life and home for them. Before long, she had a $13-an-hour job at Manchester's Housing Authority, her children were enrolled in Catholic school, and she was on her way to financing a comfortable American lifestyle through mortgages, loans and credit cards. She filed for bankruptcy protection in 2008, and had about $400,000 in debt discharged.

Oneida >> The Madison County Health Department says there is still space available in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's "National Child Passenger Safety Certification Training Course" to be offered April 9-12 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at New York State Police Troop D Headquarters on state Route 5 in Oneida. This course is intended to provide students with a basic level of understanding in the challenging field of child passenger safety (CPS). The curriculum is based on the guiding principles of "Learn, Practice, Explain," so that upon successful completion, the technician candidate will be able to explain installation procedures to parents and caregivers and help them to safely transport their child based on the child's age, weight, height, physical development, and needs. This is the first time this course will be offered in Madison County. The goal is to get more technicians trained to support local child passenger safety efforts in Central New York. "Law enforcement, fire and EMS personnel, employees of car dealerships, or agency and child care staff who work with families with young children are ideal candidates for this training," said Chrystal Johnson, public health educator for Madison County Health Department. Once certified, technicians are eligible to work at car seat check events and fitting stations. Upon successful completion of the course, new technicians will receive a two-year national certification through Safe Kids Worldwide. Training includes course materials, a light breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack each day. To become certified as a CPS technician, candidates must register for this course online, pay the course fee of $75, and attend the entire course, which includes participating in class discussions and hands-on activities, passing all skills evaluations and open-book quizzes, and attending the checkup event. To register for the course, go towww.safekids.org
, click on "Find a Course," enter "NY2013010421" in the Course ID box, then click submit. Select this course, then follow the prompts to complete the registration.

LADIES OF THE CLOTH: Sisters Sienna and Savannah Miller shifted into full garmento mode this week at the unveiling of the latter's spring collection in London. "Feel it," insisted Savannah of the blouse she was wearing. "It's not silk — 100 percent polyester, baby. It's so exciting to be able to make clothes that are affordable," she said during her presentation in the quaint downstairs tearoom at Mari Vanna in London's Knightsbridge.
"I'd never make a coat for more than 200 pounds [$317 at current exchange]. Yes, we have to compromise on fabrics, but we get the best that we can for our price point. The most expensive piece in the collection is less than 110 quid [$174]; this blouse," she said as she tugged on her sleeve, "is just 65 pounds [$103]."
Guests at the presentation of the Savannah collection included Marissa Montgomery, Valentine Fillol-Cordier, Yasmin Mills, Matthew Williamson and Irina Lazareanu, who stars in the designer's latest campaign.
"Oh my God, look," gasped Sienna as she pulled a yellow scallop edged minidress from the rail, after already having made an order for a barely there camisole dress. For six years, the Miller sisters were co-creative directors of the Twenty8Twelve fashion brand, a collaboration that ended with the spring 2012 collection. The spring 2013 line is Savannah's second since the Twenty8Twelve collaboration ended, and the designer said she was inspired by the Summer of Love.
"I was looking though Vogues from the Seventies," said Savannah. "I spent about two days in the library at Vogue House going through the archives." That hippie vibe shone through in Seventies shapes, boho lace dresses and vests, flared jeans with plaits at the waist, a floral print kimono, polite tea dresses, swimwear, sandals, boots and platforms.
Savannah is backed by Jens Grede of the Saturday Group and will be stocked exclusively at nelly.com for spring, as part of a two-season exclusivity deal. Following that, Miller said she hopes the 69-piece collection will be picked up by House of Fraser in the U.K. and Macy's in the U.S.

Hero's reward: Surviving teen gets $150,000 for nabbing Evonitz
MASSAPONAX, SPOTSYLVANIA– The 15-year-old South Carolina girl who escaped from alleged killer Richard Marc Evonitz after being raped and tied up received a $150,000 reward on Monday, August 26, for leading police to the man responsible for killing three Spotsylvania County girls.
The family of Kristin and Kati Lisk, two of the slain girls, presented the reward to the teenager, who was abducted after school in late June.
Investigators say Evonitz approached the 15-year-old under the ruse of selling magazines. While the girl perused a magazine, he whipped a gun from inside another magazine, stuffed her in his trunk, and drove her to his house for hours of repeated sexual assault. The girl was able to escape 18 hours later when her assailant fell asleep. She then led police to Evonitz, who fled to Florida and then killed himself after a high-speed chase.
A task force of law enforcement officers later concluded that Evonitz, 38, was responsible for the killings of 16-year-old Sofia Silva in 1996 and sisters Kristin Lisk, 15, and Kati Lisk, 12, in 1997. The investigators based their conclusion on physical evidence found in Evonitz's home and car including hair, fibers, and DNA analysis. In an especially chilling discovery, police found a fingerprint and palm print of Kristin Lisk inside the trunk of the 1992 Ford Taurus Evonitz drove while living in Spotsylvania and South Carolina.
Authorities say that in Virginia he failed to register as a sex offender, as required by law, despite his 1987 Florida conviction for sexual assault on a girl.
While his name has occasionally arisen in connection with the notorious 1996 murder of Alicia Showalter Reynolds abducted from along Route 29, the modus operandi in that case was different, and the victim was older. Police are continuing to study physical evidence in that and other crimes to see if links to Evonitz can be established.
At the reward meeting last week, Ron Lisk, father of the Lisk sisters, thanked the teen survivor. "You will always be in my thoughts and prayers, I promise you,'' he said.
The Fredericksburg daily newspaper, The Free Lance-Star, reported emotional exchanges between the girl and the families of the three slain girls.
``I'm happy we're here honoring someone who is our hero,'' said Sheriff Leon Lott of Richland County, South Carolina. ``But it's a sad day, too.''
Money for the reward came from local governments, sheriff's offices, and community donations. The girl's parents said she will use some of the money to fix up her car and take a trip to New York City. The rest will go in a trust fund until she is 25.
``It's been hectic and emotional, but I loved meeting the families,'' the girl said.
Of Evonitz, she said, ``I'm so glad he's not around here to hurt anyone anymore.''

- Release version
- Splitted file cache in 2 seperate caching types. Session caching used a lot of resources.
- Fixed compression bug with memcache
- Update guestbook example (small update bug).
- Adding PSR2 format
- Added Xcache
- Added prefix
- Added options
What is SuperCacheSuperCache is an easy caching API for every project you might need. These classes reduces server load by using cache. There are three types of caching APC, Xcache, Memcache and FILE/SESSION cache. APC and Memcache uses the PHP Modules so make sure you install them first before using it. File cache doesn't need anything special.
- PHP 5.3+: We used the latest php techniques including namespaces.
- OO written: We used OO techniques to make it easy adaptable and making it easy to add new caching methods.
- Compression support: GZIP compression on the data is possible.
Four Cache TypesAPC
APC is a single server caching mechanism which allow you to cache data. APC also does opcode caching so your php doesn't have to compile every time. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.apc.php)
XCacheis a single server caching mechanism which allow you to cache data. XCache also does opcode caching so your php doesn't have to compile every time. (http://xcache.lighttpd.net/)
Memcache is a multi server caching mechanism which allow you to cache data. Memcache is a daemon that runs on your server which makes it possible to connect to it from everywhere you like. Also memcache is not bound to PHP. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.memcache.php)
File caching keeps the cache inside the session and rewrites it to the filesystem so we can pick it up again when a user reconnects to the website
How to use
require_once("SuperCache/CacheFactory.php"); $cache = \SuperCache\CacheFactory::create("APC"); // use APC, Memcache, File (case-sensitive) $cache->insert($key, $data, $lifetime, $compress); $cache->update($key, $data, $lifetime, $compress); $cache->set($key, $data, $lifetime, $compress); $cache->remove($key); $cache->fetch($key); $cache->exists($key); $cache->clearCache(); $cache = null; $cache = \SuperCache\Cache::getInstance(); // return Apc cache or the one that was made with factory

Why do I need protein?
We all need protein. It's essential for life, and important for those who workout – especially afterward. Many people don't realize that you don't build muscle during the workout; you actually tear them down. It's post-workout where the amino acids which make up protein begin the process of building muscle tissue so you gain muscle mass. A lack of protein in the system can actually negate the positive effects of working out. As we get older, we lose muscle. So those of a certain age must maintain enough protein in the diet to slow the rate of muscle loss. Also, the amino acids in protein help support a healthy immune system for people of all ages.
Why a whey protein supplement?
Simply put, you want to consume a good quality protein without consuming extra crabs and calories. Convenience is important, and grabbing a shake or meal replacement bar on the way out the door fits almost any schedule. It reduces snacking at home or hitting the vending machine at the office.

U.S. Used 'Distributed Intelligence' to Investigate Boston Marathon Bombing
The transparency and unity on display after the attack were aspects of a basic problem-solving capability that seems to appear all too infrequently these days in the U.S., but is at its most effective in the face of acute crisis. When confronted with clear, imminent and grave danger, the otherwise fractious elements of our open society come together like nodes in a massive, distributed computing platform to solve the problem at hand. "There was a distributed intelligence that worked really well," said Irving Wladawsky-Berger, a regular contributor to CIO Journal.

Resident Evil 4 (PlayStation 2) review
"Those early-game villagers utilize all sorts of farming implements, such as pitchforks, sickles and hatchets, in their attempts to end Leon's mission prematurely. And they're the patsies. Just wait until one of their heads explodes to release a tentacle-flailing parasite seemingly crafted in the darkest recesses of H.P. Lovecraft's imagination. Or a gigantic ogre lumbers into the fray, rips a gnarled tree out of the ground and starts swinging it around like it was light as a feather. Or a monstrous semi-invisible bug pounces, spraying Leon with acidic secretions."

Prosthetic limbs and other artificial body parts have come a long way in the last 10 to 20 years, and many on the market and under development today can restore nearly the same functions as the human body parts they're replacing, or even improve them.
Developers from the London robotics company Shadow Robot — at the behest of the London television company Darlow Smithson Productions — recently undertook a project to see how much of a replica of a human could be built using prosthetic body parts.
This resulted in the Bionic Man, which built about two-thirds of a walking, talking human with an array of prosthetic parts, including a blood-pumping, beating artificial heart.
To see a slideshow of some of the prosthetics used to create the Bionic Man, as well as other cutting-edge designs in artificial body parts, go to Design News (a sister site).

Review: Sanyo Xacti VPC-PD2BK camcorder
Today's Best Tech Deals
Picked by Macworld's Editors
Top Deals On Great Products
Picked by Techconnect's Editors
Many pocket camcorders feature a stylish design, and depending on your taste you probably would not include the Sanyo Xacti VPC-PD2BK among them. However, it does what it's supposed to: make good videos.
The Xacti VPC-PD2BK has dimensions of 2.5 by 0.9 by 4.4 inches. The silver and black color combination gives it a distinct look, but what makes the camcorder seem somewhat peculiar is the silver 'ears' that flank the lens. Those are actually the camcorder's stereo microphones, and there's also a flash (for still photos only) on top of the device. Behind a pop-out panel on the left side is a HDMI port and SD card slot (SD card not included). Below the SD card slot is a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that can last up to 65 minutes when fully charged. A pop-out USB connector on the Xacti VPC-PD2BK's right side charges the battery and can be used to transfer files to your computer.
Most of the Xacti VPC-PD2BK's operating buttons are found on its back, right below its two-inch TFT color screen. There's a photo button, a video button, a record/play button, and a delete button. Between the buttons are arrow keys for navigating the user interface.
The camera is, for the most part, easy you use. If you want to take a photo, press the photo button. If you want to record a video, press the video button. Not too complicated. You may have to check the manual to figure out how to utilize all of its settings (like how to change the camera from 720p to 1080p), but for the most part, it doesn't take long to figure out how to use the camera's core functions.
The Xacti VPC-PD2BK can shoot video at 1080p (30 frames per second), 720p (60 fps), 720p (30 fps), and 640-by-480 (30 fps). Still photos can be shot at 10, 5, and 2 megapixels, as well as at an interpolated 12 megapixels.
Overall, Macworld gave the Xacti VPC-PD2BK's video quality grade of Good (on a scale of Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Superior). The camcorder did well in our tests involving bright lights, but not so well in dimly lit situations, unfortunately. The Xacti VPC-PD2BK's audio quality earned score of Good.
We also found that the Xacti VPC-PD2BK takes good photos. We liked the color depth and exposure, which each earned Good scores. The photos also have Very Good sharpness.
Macworld buying advice
The Xacti VPC-PD2BK is a fine pocket camcorder. At $170, it's one of the more affordable camcorders on the market, and it records video and audio better than some pocket camcorders that are drastically more expensive.
- Good video and photo quality
- Basic functions are easy to use
- Poor video performance in dim light

Sep-18-2009 DCA & HMFA Hosts 2009 Governor's Conference on Housing and Community Development
DCA & HMFA Hosts 2009 Governor's Conference on Housing and Community Development
ATLANTIC CITY – Governor Jon S. Corzine will welcome U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan to this year's 2009 Governor's Conference on Housing and Community Development Conference on Tuesday, September 22. Secretary Donovan will give the keynote speech during the two-day conference, which will focus on how attendees can overcome economic challenges and achieve success in "Preserving Communities, Providing Housing, and Promoting Opportunities." State housing professionals, government officials and community organizations will gather for the conference on September 22 and 23 at the Atlantic City Convention Center.
"The global recession has changed the housing landscape significantly since last year's conference," said New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Acting Commissioner Charles A. Richman. "Yet, opportunities still abound to make a positive difference in our communities and in the future of housing in New Jersey. The DCA and New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency will spend the two-day conference conveying that message to attendees."
Participants will gain insight on such topics as affordable housing, public-private partnerships, green building, supportive housing, property management, project financing, lead abatement and historic preservation. They will have a chance to learn about state and federal programs designed to keep families in their homes, strategize on how to access tax credits available through federal economic recovery efforts, and identify ways to leverage funding for homelessness prevention, among a host of other workshops.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear remarks from Secretary Donovan, who was sworn in as the 15th United States Secretary for Housing and Urban Development on January 26, 2009. He has devoted his career to ensuring access to safe, decent, and affordable housing and continues that effort in President Obama's Administration. Secretary Donovan previously served as Commissioner of the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) where he created and implemented the New Housing Marketplace Plan to build and preserve 165,000 affordable homes, the largest municipal affordable housing plan in the nation's history. Prior to serving as HPD Commissioner, he worked in the private sector on financing affordable housing, and was a visiting scholar at New York University, where he researched and wrote about the preservation of federally-assisted housing.
Secretary Donovan rejoins HUD after his previous service in the Clinton administration as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Multifamily Housing, where he was the primary federal official responsible for privately-owned multifamily housing. At that time, he ran housing programs that helped 1.7 million families access affordable housing. He also served as acting Federal Housing Administration Commissioner during the Clinton/Bush presidential transition.
"We thank Secretary Donovan and the more than 100 speakers from all areas of the housing industry who will share their expertise with participants and answer questions," said HMFA Executive Director Marge Della Vecchia. "This conference is also an occasion for attendees to network, exchange information and generate innovative ways to meet the housing needs of New Jersey residents."
Conference highlights include:
Tuesday, September 22
Keynote Address Luncheon – 12:15 p.m.
Governor Jon S. Corzine
Shaun Donovan, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
Bus Tour of Atlantic City Main Street, Redevelopment Area and Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm – 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The tour will include Atlantic City's Inlet neighborhood to review existing, ongoing and proposed housing and economic development projects undertaken by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) and the HMFA. It will also explore other city improvements including parks, road work and community facilities in and around the North Inlet, Gardner's Basin and Bungalow Park neighborhoods. The tour will conclude at the Jersey-Atlantic Wind Farm, which is located at the Atlantic County Utility Authority's Wastewater Treatment Plant in Atlantic City. The wind farm features five 380-foot-high wind turbines, which collectively generate enough energy to power approximately 2,500 homes.
Wednesday, September 23
Excellence in Housing Awards Luncheon – 12:30 p.m.
The HMFA will honor eight organizations and two individuals for work that has demonstrated outstanding housing development in such areas as affordable housing, green/sustainable development, supportive housing and urban revitalization.
The annual Governor's Conference on Housing and Community Development is sponsored by the Department of Community Affairs and the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, a DCA affiliate.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Kindergartners who were given "good bacteria" supplements as infants were no less likely to suffer from allergies than other kids in a new study from Australia.
The findings, reported in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, add to a mixed bag of results from research into whether probiotics can help ward off kids' allergies.
Based on what's known so far, it may be that only certain probiotics are helpful for certain kids - but even then, the benefit seems "very modest," according to Dr. Sonia Michail, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Children's Hospital Los Angeles who was not involved in the work.
The 123 kids in this study, which was led by Marie P. Jensen of the University of Western Australia in Perth, were part of a clinical trial as infants, when researchers randomly assigned half to take a probiotic supplement every day for the first six months of life. The rest of the babies were given a placebo.
All of the babies were considered to be at increased risk of allergies because their mothers suffered from them.
In earlier studies, the researchers found no benefits of the probiotic when the babies were 1 to 2.5 years old.
This latest report finds still no effects at the age of 5. Of 66 kids who had received the probiotic in infancy, 44 percent had some type of allergy - such as nasal allergies, food allergies or asthma. That compared with 38 percent of 57 kids who got the placebo.
Probiotics are live microorganisms, usually bacteria, which are naturally present in the gut, and are often added to certain foods, like yogurt and fermented milk, or sold as supplements.
In theory, probiotics given early in life could help curb kids' allergy risk by ensuring a healthy balance of microbes in the intestines, which promotes normal immune function.
Allergies arise when the immune system overreacts to a normally benign substance.
One of the best known and widely used probiotics is Lactobacillus acidophilus - which is what kids in this study were given.
The findings are somewhat surprising, Michail said in an email, because some studies have found that probiotics may help curb certain kids' long-term risk of the allergic skin condition eczema.
But in those studies, the probiotics were different strains of friendly bacteria (L. rhamnosus GG in one study, and a probiotic mix in the other).
And they were given not only to infants, but to their moms starting about a month before delivery, noted Michail, who has researched the role of gut bacteria in kids' health.
What's more, one study found probiotic benefits only among kids who'd been born by C-section.
"Interestingly, the intestine of a baby just born does not have any bacteria, but this quickly changes and the intestine becomes populated by large numbers of bacteria called âflora,'" Michail said.
Babies born via C-section are not exposed to their moms' beneficial bacteria in the birth canal, and studies have linked C-section birth to a higher allergy and asthma risk.
The "different bacterial profile" in babies born by C-section "may be permissive to the development of allergies," Michail explained.
But the bottom line is that even in the positive studies, the benefits of probiotics seem small.
In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration classifies probiotics as a food or dietary supplement. That means the products don't have to be proven effective before hitting the market, but they cannot be promoted for treating or preventing any specific disease.

A-Rod's choice: Cut a deal with MLB or face lifetime ban, report says
If Alex Rodriguez doesn't agree to a deal with Major League Baseball over his involvement with Biogenesis, commissioner Bug Selig will seek a lifetime ban, the New York Daily News reports.
In addition, Selig is looking to invoke an extreme privilege of the commissioner's office, the right to take action against a player to preserve the integrity of the game, should Rodriguez attempt to fight his looming suspension, the Daily News reported later Monday.
This power would be used to effectively keep Rodriguez from ever returning to the field, the Daily News noted. Rodriguez would be suspended immediately for interference in MLB's investigation into the now-closed South Florida anti-aging clinic Biogenesis, then suspended later for violating baseball's drug program, according to the report.
The Associated Press notes that such a move would ensure that any penalties against Rodriguez would go into effect before the case could go to an arbitrator.
Selig is so determined to keep Rodriguez from playing on a major league field again that he is risking a reopening of the collective bargaining agreement by the players association or possibly a federal court case, the Daily News notes.
PHOTO GALLERIES: SN went behind the scenes with A-Rod in 1999 | Disgraced athletes
MLB is "armed with voluminous evidence" that A-Rod bought PEDs from Biogenesis, the newspaper reports. Baseball officials were reportedly trying to get him to reach a settlement that would effectively end his major league career while allowing him to collect much of the $100 million that is remaining on his contract.
Rodriguez's attorney disputes that a deal has even been offered, however.
A-Rod atty says no deal offered from MLB. Another source also says no discussions. Suspensions still expected later this week.— T.J. Quinn (@TJQuinnESPN) July 29, 2013
Here's MLB's proposal, according to the Daily News: A-Rod agrees not to fight a suspension without pay that will keep him off the field the rest of this season and all of the 2014 season. In return, he'll have a chance to collect the $60 million the New York Yankees owe him for the 2015, 2016 and 2017 seasons.
But it is now unclear if MLB officials would agree to a reduced penalty for Rodriguez, the Daily News reports.
Don't count on the embattled star cutting a deal. He continues to insist he has done nothing wrong.
"If there is a suspension, he will fight it,†a source told the newspaper.

"We're still involved in the process of preparing for an eventual appeal in this matter," Rodriguez lawyer David Cornwell said Monday on ESPN Radio in New York. "My understanding is that the next step that is going to be taken is that the players association and baseball will meet to discuss the investigation and baseball's focus on particular players. So we'll see how that process plays out. But at this point my understanding or my expectation is that we're going to be working through the process towards an appeal."
If that is the case, Selig is expected to pursue a lifetime ban.
Rodriguez has never been disciplined for a drug offense, and a first offender under baseball's Joint Drug Agreement is entitled to an automatic stay if the players association files a grievance—meaning the penalty is put on hold until after an arbitrator rules.
While use of banned performance-enhancing substances falls under the drug agreement, MLB may argue other alleged violations are punishable under the labor contract, a person familiar with management's deliberations told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.
Taking that action would prevent Rodriguez from returning to the field, even if he recovers from a quadriceps injury cited by the team as the reason for keeping him on the disabled list.
And merely threatening to use that provision might give MLB leverage to force a deal.
The Yankees expect Rodriguez to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, of attempting to obstruct MLB's investigation, and of not being truthful with MLB in the past when he discussed his relationship with Dr. Anthony Galea, who pleaded guilty two years ago to a federal charge of bringing unapproved drugs into the United States from Canada.
Four years ago, Rodriguez admitted using PEDs while with the Texas Rangers from 2001 to 2003. He has repeatedly denied using them since.
The AP's sources say Rodriguez could be punished under Article XII, Section B of the Basic Agreement, which states: "Players may be disciplined for just cause for conduct that is materially detrimental or materially prejudicial to the best interests of baseball including, but not limited to, engaging in conduct in violation of federal, state or local law."
If suspended under that section, Rodriguez would serve the penalty while a grievance is litigated before arbitrator Fredric Horowitz—unless the union asks for a stay and the arbitrator grants one, which would be unusual under the grievance procedure.
According to the Daily News' sources, Selig could eliminate Horowitz from the grievance procedure and hear any appeals himself under Article XI, Section A(1)(b) of the Basic Agreement. Selig would become the arbiter if action is taken "with respect to a Player or Players" by Selig "involving the preservation of the integrity of, or the maintenance of public confidence in, the game of baseball."
But a letter from Selig that is Attachment 1 states: "I understand that the players' association has expressed concern that the commissioner might take some action pursuant to Article XI (A) (1) (b) of the Basic Agreement which could negate rights of players under the new Basic Agreement. While I have difficulty seeing that this is a real problem, I am quite willing to assure the association that the commissioner will take no such action."
Rodriguez hasn't played a major league game yet in 2013 following offseason hip surgery.
He is one of several players who have been linked in media reports to the clinic, including 2012 All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera, 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner Bartolo Colon and 2011 ALCS MVP Nelson Cruz.
Milwaukee outfielder Ryan Braun, the 2011 National League MVP, agreed last week to a 65-game suspension for violating baseball's rules on drug use after being connected to Biogenesis.
Baseball is expected to announce punishments of the other players this week. A decision on A-Rod could come as soon as Monday or Tuesday.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

She is everywhere. From the sparkly new L'Oreal advert to the explosive X-Factor, Cheryl Cole's is in the media spotlight and has been for the past few months. It's not just her popstar come presenter come model fame that has ensured this though; the main reason we're all loving her right now is her flawless style! Our eyes glued to the X-Factor every night, not just for the singing, but to see what Cheryl's wearing!
Although her style varies from day to day, we've chosen some of her key pieces so that we can all make like a celebrity mogul!
Statement Skirt
From puffball to teeny weeny, Cheryl pulls off every type of skirt with class. She wears an array of patterns, styles and shapes, but we've found a gorgeous little mini from ASOS that rivals one she has been spotted out in recently! Perfect for both day and night, team with a vest and you're good to go!
Quirky Heels
Always in a good pair of stiletto's, Cheryl loves a good shoe and has a certain preference when it comes to what's on her feet! Rarely in anything that's over the top, she usually opts for simple, classic heels with a modern, contrast twist. Hit Topshop for a pair of shoes that Cheryl would definitely sport; electric blue, mini platform, gold trim and a unique staggered heel, similar to a piece of contemporary art!
Structured Dress
As we've seen from the X-Factor, Cheryl loves her structured dresses. She recently wore a stunning Matthew Williamson number, and although our pay cheques don't cover the £2,500 price tag, that doesn't mean we can't look equally as stunning! We've found ourselves an almost replica of the beauty on ASOS for a tiny percentage of the designer price!
Leather Jacket
A leather jacket is definitely a statement part of Cheryl's wardrobe and keeps her style modern, young and fresh. There are so many leather jackets out there right now, in different styles, materials and with different price tags. Cheryl wears a shorter leather jacket with zip detail for extra cool points. You can get yours from Miss Selfridge for a mere £45!
Body Con Dress
Cheryl's look would not be complete without a stunning bodycon dress for those nights on the town! We may not all have her petite frame, but the lycra stretchy material and the slimming black shade of this sumptuous Lipsy number makes it accessible for everyone! Really ideal for partying the night away, the material and shape of the dress forgives the crazy shapes you're pulling, that post-clubbing takeaway [though it won't cover the kebab sauce all over your face…] and the stumbly walk home.
Statement Bag
Having recently discovered luxury handbag label Atelier Annick, Cheryl Cole proudly showed off her new Atelier Annick handbag as she went to Radio 1 to promote her new single 'Fight for this Love'. Patent red leather and zebra print hide with a caramel lining and an inside zipped pocket makes the Bebe the ultimate statement handbag for this season.

Un-Belieb-able, or smart? Norway schools move exams for Bieber concert
Justin Bieber fans Stateside might be thinking of relocating to Norway right about now.
Earlier this week, reports spread that some schools in the country were moving local midterm exams so they wouldn't coincide with Bieber's performances in Oslo on April 16 and 17.
As CNN's Erin Burnett reports, "even though the exams count toward a significant part of the student's final grade, the schools figured most of the kids would just skip them and go ahead and fail because they wanted to see Justin."
Rather than risk the potential mass flunking, five schools moved the exams up a week. It might seem extreme to schedule schoolwork around a pop star's appearances, but Norway is also the same place where Bieber fever nearly caused a state of emergency in May 2012.
"We've all been fourteen years [old] and know that interests can be intense," Norway's Minister of Education and Research, Mrs. Kristin Halvorsen, told CNN in a statement.
"As the Minister of Education, I am concerned that students should be concentrating when they take tests and midterms," she continued. "The local schools have the responsibility to schedule the local midterms, and if they think there is any reason to change the dates, they have authority to do so."
She adds that the ministry hasn't intervened in the school's scheduling in the past, and won't in this case, either. "I assume that the decision by the schools was taken after consultation between both principals and teachers," Halvorsen concluded.

Thomaston man charged with threatening after stabbing watermelon
BANTAM >> A Thomaston man is accused of stabbing a watermelon with a butcher knife and leaving it in the kitchen for a woman to see, in what police describe as a "passive aggressive" swipe that landed him in custody. She was unnerved by what she perceived to be a menacing gesture directed at her and reported it to police.
On Monday, Carmine Cervellino, 49, of 126 Hickory Hill Road, was arraigned in Bantam Superior Court on charges of second-degree threatening and disorderly conduct. He is at liberty after posting a $500 bond and had his case referred to Family Services.
The woman said she felt Cervellino was resorting to "passive aggressive" tactics to "intimidate her because he is angry at her," Thomaston Officer Keith Koval wrote in a report.
Initially, the woman came to police headquarters the morning of July 4 to report finding a plastic bag of marijuana and a pill container — with her name — which had Percocet and an unidentified blue pill inside. It was hidden in Cervellino's tool box, she told police.
She snatched them up, took pictures with a cell phone camera and stowed them away in her room. Later, when the woman returned home, she found the drugs missing, she claims, but she showed police the photos. Cervillino is not facing any drug charges.
The woman returned a second time and was greeted by the sight of a watermelon, pierced by Cervillino's large butcher knife, sitting on the kitchen counter top, police said.
Cervillino walked in seconds later, and without saying anything, began slicing pieces of the watermelon. The woman snapped a picture of the knife and turned it over to police.

Phil Mickelson still in contention at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. - Phil Mickelson is a somewhat distant five shots back of the leaders at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am's halfway point, but after hearing the ominous weekend weather forecast, he actually smiled.
"As the reigning Scottish and British Open champion, I don't really mind the elements," Mickelson said with a wry smile.
Handling of the elements almost certainly will determine who wins this year's AT&T. A couple of Texas residents, PGA Tour veteran Jimmy Walker and 20-year-old phenom Jordan Spieth, did just fine under blustery conditions Friday, shooting different but equally impressive rounds to share the lead at 9 under par.
The late-blooming 35-year-old Walker posted his second straight bogey-free round, a 3-under 69 at Spyglass Hill. Spieth had a more up-and-down 4-under 67 at Monterey Peninsula Country Club that included two bogeys but six birdies.
Walker and Spieth were a stroke ahead of Hunter Mahan, who shot a 4-under 68 at Spyglass, and two up on first-round leader Andrew Loupe, who followed an 8-under 63 at MPCC with a 1-over 73 at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
And then there was Mickelson, who was poised to get closer into contention at the start of the day. He was one of 40 golfers who had to finish their Thursday opening round in the early morning. He finished up at MPCC at 5-under 66 and then headed over to Pebble Beach brimming with optimism. He has won the AT&T four times, including two years ago with a final-round 64 at Pebble Beach.
Alas, the putter betrayed him most of the day and he could never make a run. He, too, shot a 1-over 73 after finishing with a three-putt bogey at No. 18 and was tied for 17th.
"Tee to green I'm playing very well, but I haven't putted this poorly in a year," Mickelson said. "For the way I'm hitting it, it's a little disappointing because I should have a really good opportunity. It's not too late, but I do have to get this putter worked out."
He could get an assist from Mother Nature. Intermittent rain and gusty winds made scoring tough on all three Monterey Peninsula courses, and it's supposed to be just as bad and possibly worse Saturday. Sunday could bring wind and rain, though forecasts are calling for slightly better conditions.
Mickelson welcomes some of the old-time Crosby nastiness.
"More of this? Cool," he said. "We've had a great run of weather probably the last six, seven years," he said. "So we certainly can't complain. In fact, sometimes it can be a fun challenge."
So how are Walker and Spieth bearing up under the wetness and stiff, chilly breezes? No problems so far.
Walker was fortunate enough to get Pebble Beach out of the way Thursday, carding a 6-under 66. Pebble Beach usually is the harshest test of the three courses when the weather get ugly.
"I've never really played Pebble when it's been (like that)," he said. "I hear it can get really gnarly. I hear stories of guy hitting 4-irons into 7 (the short par-3 on the ocean). So it was nice to play it well yesterday and get it done."
Walker, a nine-year tour veteran who'll play MPCC on Saturday, has been on an incredible roll since winning the Frys.com Open in San Martin in October. It was his first victory in 188 tour starts, but since then, he's added the Sony Open title and is the leading money-winner and FedEx Cup points leader.
Historically, he's played the AT&T very well even though he hasn't won it, so he likes his chances now that he has the experience of two victories from which to draw.
"I think you start to get more comfortable and realize what it takes," he said. "Before, I would think you've got to make a ton of birdies and you've got to do this and that. But I've learned a lot of times pars are really good and staying patient."
That's precisely how Walker played Friday, getting a couple of early birdies and then stringing together several good par saves before rolling in a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 7 at Spyglass Hill with two holes to go.
Spieth, meanwhile, said the conditions got pretty testy at MPCC, which hugs the ocean for about half of its layout. Saturday, the Dallas native gets Pebble Beach, but the confident up-and-comer didn't sound intimidated by what could unfold weather-wise.
"I've played in weather similar or even worse than this before," he said. "In Texas, we get strong winds. It's nothing new, it gets cold and windy, and it has been this winter when I've been practicing.
"It's not like I've been in California or Arizona practicing in a dome."
