Obama picks new Small Business Administration leader
President Obama plans to nominate a California bank owner as the new head of the Small Business Administration.
Maria Contreras-Sweet, 58, who is to be introduced at an event Wednesday, founded and chairs the board of a Latino-owned community bank in Los Angeles.
If confirmed by the Senate, Contreras-Sweet would replace Karen Mills as SBA administrator.
President Obama will make the nomination official at a 3:40 p.m. ceremony.
From The Washington Post:
"The nomination also serves to address diversity concerns raised by some Democratic supporters of the president. If Contreras-Sweet is confirmed, eight women and two Latinos will have Cabinet or Cabinet-level posts this term, which is the same number as in Obama's first term in office. ...
"Contreras-Sweet's career represents a mix of corporate and government experience. She served as secretary of the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency between 1999 and 2003 ... She founded the ProAmerica Bank, a Latino-owned community bank in Los Angeles, in 2006. The bank, which offers bilingual services, aims to provide capital and services to small and mid-size businesses that often lack access to larger, traditional financial institutions."

New products introduced over the last week include a new junior miners ETF from Global X Funds and a low-duration bond fund from Scout Investments.
In addition, Envestnet has partnered with Fund Evaluation Group.
Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:
1) Global X Funds Launches Junior Miners ETF
Global X Funds announced Thursday that it has launched the Global X Junior Miners ETF (JUNR), the first ETF to provide access to junior mining companies globally. It adds diversification across resources by including companies involved in the production of coal, copper, gold, iron, nickel, silver, titanium and other materials.
While junior miners typically have a higher risk/reward profile than large-cap miners, JUNR helps reduce company-specific risk by diversifying investments across 96 junior mining companies. Investors may also benefit from increased merger and acquisition activity in the sector, as large mining companies look to acquisitions and partnerships as additional sources of supply and geographic expansion.
2) Scout Investments Launches Low-Duration Bond Fund
Scout Investments announced recently that it has expanded its mutual fund lineup with the launch of the Scout Low Duration Bond Fund (SCLDX). With an emphasis on capital preservation, the fund is designed to yield more than money-market funds and to be less volatile than longer-term bond funds.
Mark Egan is SCLDX's lead portfolio manager and managing director at Reams Asset Management, a division of Scout Investments. SCLDX's management seeks to maximize risk-adjusted total return, minimize volatility and preserve capital. It will be well diversified and consist of high-quality short-term securities with an average fund duration of generally one to three years. It also has the flexibility to invest in high-yield securities when it is attractive to do so.
3) Envestnet to Focus on Fiduciary With Fund Evaluation Group Announcement
Envestnet announced Wednesday that it has partnered with Fund Evaluation Group, a hedge fund research and due diligence provider. The partnership is meant to complement the research on separate account managers, mutual funds, ETFs and liquid alternative investments already available on the Envestnet Prima platform.
"It's really a response to client demand," said James Patrick, managing director of advisor managed programs with Envestnet, when asked about the genesis of the partnership. "They are known in the industry for their heft, reputation and pedigree. We also have a number of clients that already utilize them, so that certainly helps when choosing."

Newcastle's Star Hotel is perhaps best known for the riot of 19 September 1979 and the song of the same name by Cold Chisel. But the site is one of Newcastle's earliest large commercial complexes with a built history dating back to the 1850s. The Star Hotel site was sold early 2013 with a current development approval on the site for a 12-storey, mixed-use complex including residential, commercial, retail and parking spaces.

The Star Hotel site is a large complex running through from Hunter to King Street.
Sarah Cameron, Newcastle City Council heritage strategist, says, "I think there's actually about eight separate buildings that have been joined together and make up this Star Hotel complex, it's got a really long history, too."
"We seem to think there was an event in the 1970s (the 1979 riot) and that's about the be all and end all, but the Star Hotel has a really interesting history that runs right back to the early development of Newcastle West back in 1855."
"The Cameron family built the Star Hotel in 1855 with the coming of the railway line. The Honeysuckle Point railway station was just across the road behind where the TAFE is now."
"There was a big demand for accommodation for travellers coming off the train and railway workers, construction workers. Ewan Cameron built the Star Hotel realising there was money to be made. He'd made his money on the goldfields in Queensland then came back and started farming at Hexham, became associated with other businessmen in Newcastle and built the Star."
It's a group of buildings from the pub, to the family buildings to the accommodation - it's immense.
"Ewan's son, Hugh, took over the license in the 1880s. He had a series of stables built so it's quite possible that some of these buildings could be agglomerations of the stables that were here."
That would explain network of laneways that run along the side and through the middle of the complex.
"Ewan had previously had wooden cottages here which were all lived in by members of the Cameron clan. The extended family lived on this site originally in not much more than humpies and still spoke Gaelic amongst the family. They came here after being kicked off their highland properties during the Scottish clearances."
"Hugh Cameron lived until 1921 and had the hotel with one of his daughters, Lena, who also owned the Centennial Hotel up the other end of town."
"The family had strong links with the Newcastle Jockey Club, a lot of the racehorses would be stabled here at the hotel and the Cameron Handicap is named after them."
"In the 1880s, the Star was very prosperous because of the Honeysuckle workshops being established, and lots of new businesses in this end of town so the hotel was sort of a dormitory for a lot of construction workers."
Sarah adds that the hotel also had some very interesting clientele, "Yes, Professor Godfrey and his monkey circus! He came here annually until his monkeys decided to burn down the stables and he was never heard from again."
The Star Stables were quite notable and they had handlers to take care of the horses. The Cameron's family hotel on Steel and Hunter Streets was the 'brother' of this hotel.
The Newcastle Trades Hall was on the northern side of Hunter Street and many of its members, after the 1890s, would frequent the Star Hotel.
The Camerons had a reputation for being very generous and helping people in need.
"In the coal strike in 1909 the executive of the miners union withdrew all of the funds from the bank because they feared that the government would seize those assets and they wouldn't be able to pay their miners. So the money was withdrawn, given to the Camerons here at the Star Hotel who basically then had the job of paying miners and miners families during that year-long strike."
"All of the histories you read of this site describe it as a rabbit warren of rooms. Even when it was still operating as hotel in the 1930s and 1940s there were still dozens of accommodation rooms."
"Lena Campbell, Hugh Cameron's daughter, also ran the Centennial Hotel up in Scott Street - which was one of the largest hotels in the southern hemisphere - she owned it for a period of time, kept the freehold title but she leased the hotel to Tooth & Co. Just before her father died she purchased the whole thing outright."

What Are Some Natural, Yet Safe, Ways To Induce Labor?
Remember that even though these are natural approaches to inducing labor, you should still talk things over with your healthcare provider to ensure it's safe for labor to begin. Due dates are not an exact science, and any form of induction – natural or medical – may increase the chance of preterm labor if your baby is not full term (38-42 weeks gestation.)
Our top list of natural induction methods:
Let's face it, sex is probably more fun than being hooked up to an I.V. of pitocin or having a doctor place artificial prostaglandin gel near your cerivix via suppository, tablet or balloon catheter.
Your cervix needs to ripen (soften) before it's "ready" for labor. Your healthcare provider may suggest using an artificial prostaglandin cervical ripening agent to help start labor, but did you know semen is chock full of prostaglandin? Your partner may be more than willing to "help get labor started."
Dr. David Rivera, MD, FACOG, an OB in Lombard, IL, shares this story:
"A woman I worked with many years ago was tired of being pregnant. I told her sex might help. She said, "I can't! I lost my mucus plug."
I replied, "That won't matter."
Her eyes lit up and she said, "OOOO, I wonder what he is doing for lunch!"
She came in two days later and delivered in 20 minutes, before I got to the hospital. The second thing she said was, "It worked." The first thing she said was, "What the hell took you so long?"
Nipple stimulation
If your doctor has said no intercourse – for example, if your bag of water has already ruptured – or if you don't feel up for it, other forms of sex can be beneficial, too. When you have an orgasm, your body releases oxytocin, the hormone that causes the uterus to contract.
Nipple stimulation – manually, such as taking a shower and letting water run on your chest for 1-2 minutes or with a breast pump – may also help. "Nipple stimulation causes oxytocin release, which will start contractions," says Dr. Rivera "but there is no guarantee those contractions will develop into labor."
Acupuncture or Acupressure
If there is an acupuncturist skilled in working with pregnant women in your community, ask her about the specific points where needles can be applied. In her book Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn, Penny Simkin explains that It is thought that this approach unblocks energy flow lines along critical meridians, and that blocked energy can impair the start of labor. There are also two acupressure points that you or your partner can apply pressure to -- Spleen 6 is a point on your lower leg, and Hoku is a spot on the back of your hand.
Walking promotes gravity, and can help your baby apply pressure to the cervix. It's a great position to use when labor has already begun, but may also help labor to begin without any of the side effects that may result from medical induction. At the very least, you'll be able to enjoy the fresh air, relax, and get a bit of exercise.
What about those Old Wives Tales?
"I don't recommend castor oil," says Dr. Rivera, explaining it will likely just cause bad cramps but no baby. Find out more here why castor oil is not a good method for inducing labor. Other fun methods might work, though!
The maternity salad
The night before my due date with my first son, I visited Caioti Pizza Café in Los Angeles to eat what's become known as "THE Salad." According to www.maternitysalad.com, the special dressing famous for kick-starting labor is made with "pure olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, spices, herbs, seasonings and love." I ate THE Salad on a Friday, went into labor Saturday and gave birth early Sunday morning. While I'll never know for sure if it was the dressing or my body's time to go into labor, it was fun and many women swear by it.
Spicy foods
The same goes for spicy foods, and some moms find a combination of natural methods work to induce labor, like Marci S., mother of two near Boston, MA who says,"I ate Spicy Chinese food and walked around the block and went into labor 6 hours later!"
Bad weather
Even medical professionals may believe some of these tales – or at least be able to tell them:
Stacey V. is a Registered Nurse and mother of six in Michigan who knows first-hand about the old wives' tale about going into labor when the weather is bad. "I had one on the record hottest day that year in a bad thunderstorm, and one during a blizzard," she says.
And for the daring….the trampoline!
According to Dr. Rivera, "My partner's wife started her labor by bouncing on a trampoline for 45 minutes." For those moms who don't quite feel coordinated enough for the trampoline, sitting and gently bouncing on an exercise ball might be a good alternative.
When faced with the induction decision, two important questions to ask are:
1. Am I ok?
2. Is my baby ok?
If the answer to both is "yes," you have a choice about whether or not to induce labor. Sometimes simply waiting for your body to be ready to begin labor on its own is ideaI, as is the "mind over matter" approach. I know more than one mom who was scheduled for an induction on a Monday morning, then went into labor naturally on Sunday night!
If you have questions about induction, be sure to ask your doctor or midwife to explain the benefits, risks and alternatives to medically inducing, and as I've mentioned, even the natural approaches, too.
Here's to a safe, healthy labor and birth!

One of the delights of specialist post-ex work is that you never know quite what the next delivery from the postman or courier will bring. Today's delivery was of 15 crates of iron-working residue (almost quarter of a tonne!) from a medieval site in Ireland.
A quick look (its a bit like Christmas…!) shows a beautifully-preserved assemblage of slag and large fragments of tuyères (the ceramic 'nozzle' carrying the blast from the bellows into the blacksmith's hearth).

Apple will only be selling the iPhone through its own retail stores, its online store, and Cingular stores, according to Prudential analyst Jesse Totora, who met with Apple execs last week. This, in itself, is nothing we didn't know before. However, Apple's CFO, Peter Oppenheimer, senior VP of retail, Ron Johnson, and senior director of Mac product marketing, Tom Bogart told Totora that the company expects the majority of all iPhone sales to be made through Apple's own retail stores (not Cingular stores) because they expect consumers to be looking to Apple for device demonstrations.
Not only that, but Apple apparently has the lofty goal of having similar per-store sales levels as Best Buy once the iPhone is added to the product line. As AI notes, this is despite having only a tenth or so of the floor space of Best Buy, which Totora estimates will be about $30 million per store if Apple succeeds at this goal.
Additionally, Apple's execs told Totora that the company "doesn't expect to broadly proliferate into any new categories for a while." We're done with busting down barriers into new and exciting territories, at least for now. Apple is content to milk the iPhone and Apple TV (as well as continue to ride the iPod wave) for the next few years, it seems.
Despite this claim, that won't stop Apple from introducing new products within its already-existing product lines. Some analysts believe that Apple is readying itself to transition all iPods to NAND flash memory by the end of 2007, and there are rumors of other versions of the iPhone coming out soon after the initial introduction in June. It certainly seems as if Apple will be able to take its sweet time with what they've got now, and surprise us again in a few years when new technologies become available. Such as... the still widely-rumored tablet.
Despite Steve Jobs' insistence early this year that a tablet from Apple was totally out of the question ("First, he said, tablet computers were not a big enough market for Apple to spend its limited resources chasing. And even if the market grew, it would not reach a size to be of interest. The form factor was all wrong. Apple was more interested in defining markets than trying to catch other companies that were busy trying to create a market for questionable products."), Apple fans continue to look for evidence of tablet development. And Apple continues to not totally rule it out, either. In a recent filing by Apple last week for a patent on an inductive dock charger, the patent made reference to both an iPhone and a tablet device as possible uses for the dock. Apple is also rumored to be looking into the subnotebook market, part of which is currently populated by small notebook-tablets from other PC makers, which some believe could indicate Apple's intention to sneak into the tablet market without claiming to have made a tablet. Could it be that Steve Jobs was just ranting away as usual, when in fact Apple did have plans behind the curtains for tablet nirvana sometime in the next several years?

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the City That Rust Sorta Ignored: Denver, Colorado. Here's a '56 that's managed to avoid the oldies-and-cruise-nights circuit.
Not that there's anything wrong with a classic shoebox Chevy that just gets dusted off for the occasional car show, but cars like today's Mile High DOTS find remind us that hundreds of thousands of these cars served as workhorse transportation.
There's no telling what engine lives under this Chevy's hood, since the average MTBRES (Mean Time Between Random Engine Swaps) on small-block-Chevy-compatible vehicles tends to be about 12 years. It's possible that it still has the original 265 V8, or maybe even the base six-cylinder, but that's not the way to bet. Regardless of powerplant, this survivor looks to have at least another five decades left in it.

Obama: 'Candid' talk with Putin on Syria
President Barack Obama says he had a "candid and constructive conversation" with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Syria.
Obama says that he urged Putin to set aside his differences with the U.S. over the use of chemical weapons and try to help encourage a political transition in Syria.
Putin told reporters they spoke for 20 or 30 minutes Friday and focused on Syria. The Russian president says while they disagreed, the meeting was constructive.
Obama says the humanitarian situation in Syria and along its borders is "only getting worse" and stresses that the problem is "not in anyone's interest."
Obama insists that the Syrian government is responsible for chemical weapons attacks against civilians and is pushing for the United States to respond with a military strike.

One of the most bizarre weather patterns in the solar system has been photographed at Saturn, where astronomers have spotted a huge, six-sided feature circling the north pole.
Rather than the normally sinuous cloud structures seen on all planets that have atmospheres, this thing is a hexagon.
The honeycomb feature has been seen before. NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft imaged it more than two decades ago. Now, having spotted it with the Cassini spacecraft, scientists conclude it is a long-lasting oddity.
"This is a very strange feature, lying in a precise geometric fashion with six nearly equally straight sides," Kevin Baines, atmospheric expert and member of Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said Tuesday in an image advisory. "We've never seen anything like this on any other planet. Indeed, Saturn's thick atmosphere, where circularly shaped waves and convective cells dominate, is perhaps the last place you'd expect to see such a six-sided geometric figure, yet there it is."
The hexagon is nearly 15,000 miles (25,000 kilometers) across. Nearly four Earths could fit inside it. The thermal imagery shows that the hexagon extends about 60 miles (100 kilometers) down into the clouds.
At Saturn's south pole, Cassini recently spotted a freaky eyelike feature that resembles a hurricane.
"It's amazing to see such striking differences on opposite ends of Saturn's poles," said Bob Brown, team leader of the Cassini visual and infrared mapping spectrometer at the University of Arizona. "At the south pole we have what appears to be a hurricane with a giant eye, and at the north pole of Saturn we have this geometric feature, which is completely different."
The hexagon appears to have remained fixed with Saturn's rotation rate and axis since first glimpsed by Voyager 26 years ago. The actual rotation rate of Saturn is still uncertain, which means nobody knows exactly how long the planet's day is.
"Once we understand its dynamical nature, this long-lived, deep-seated polar hexagon may give us a clue to the true rotation rate of the deep atmosphere and perhaps the interior," Baines said.
The hexagon can't be seen in Cassini's visible-light imagery because the area is currently in darkness during Saturn's 15-year polar night — but the thermal signature shows up clearly in the infrared views, captured during a 12-day period last October and November.
In the next couple of years, lighting conditions may change enough for the hexagon to show up in visible-light views, NASA said.
This report includes additional information from MSNBC.com.

I love the internet!
I am daily visiting a website called NutriMirror.com. It is a place to log your food, water, and exercise. I am loving it, and it is helping me in my quest for fitness. I weighed in at the beginning; but I find that weighing in just discourages me. If I've gained I just feel down in the dumps; if I've lost then I get this "I don't have to do it any more!" mentality. So I've set a goal, and I will probably weigh in in 6 months and 12 months (my birthday). But this website keeps track of my daily calorie intake as well as my exercise, so it tells me how much more I can eat throughout the day. So helpful! My friend Karleen is the one who told me about it; Cathy sent me the link; I shared it with Spencer; we are sharing menus. Great stuff!
Spencer took me to Wasatch Running today. I got some good running shoes. Pricey, but worth it if I can avoid injury. It turns out that I have some serious pronation (my feet tilt in toward my arches), so the wonderful fitter, named Brad, was able to help me find some shoes that would help with that. I hope that helping to correct this will keep my knees healthier.
Spencer had asked for new running shoes for Father's Day, so he got shoes, too. Because we spent so much (yikes!) they gave us a free shirt. It's pink; it's mine! And Spence let me try his compression shorts, too, which I liked. Landon and I went to the Oval to run this evening, and it was good.
I'm feeling good. AND, 10 milk chocolate M&M's are only 34 calories, so I can still have a sweet treat every once in a while. It's amazing how far a little bit will go!

CYPRESS >> As Hollywood Park fades into history this weekend, Los Alamitos Race Course is stretching toward future glory with a $3-million racetrack upgrade to host an expanded slate of thoroughbred races.
"We'll be able to run the same races as they run at Santa Anita and Hollywood Park," said Brad McKinzie, Los Alamitos' spokesman for the expansion project.
Besides its signature quarter horse races, Los Alamitos Race Course is limited to relatively low-stakes thoroughbred races, McKinzie said. The expansion will make it possible for the Cypress course to host five weeks of higher-stakes thoroughbred races, which will be spread across next July and December as approved by the California Horse Racing Board. McKinzie said the project would not be taking place if Hollywood Park were not scheduled for closure after the end of its season this Sunday.
The construction work mostly involves grading a new track. McKinzie said the work of building a one-mile oval course to complement Los Alamitos' existing 5/8-mile course is likely to be completed by Jan. 20. The track received its permits for construction on Dec. 9 from the city of Cypress.
At present, Los Alamitos Race Course is best known as a venue for quarterhorse races. Los Alamitos' expansion will fill the void left by Hollywood Park's closure, industry figures said.
"As a thoroughbred trainer losing Hollywood Park, it's exciting to have some place like Los Alamitos become a possibility," said Richard Mandella, a Hall of Fame trainer.
Like Mandella, former Santa Anita Park and Hollywood Park marketing vice president Allen Gutterman said the Los Alamitos expansion likely bodes well for the track and thoroughbred racing in Southern California.
"I think it's terrific," he said. "It's in a great location. It's very well-managed."
Los Alamitos' location in western Orange County occupies a space between Santa Anita's home in Arcadia and Del Mar Race Course in San Diego County. For those who attend racetracks, Los Alamitos is known for attracting visitors with weekend events and promotions, whereas Del Mar is more of a vacation destination.
"The Del Mar experience is a little different," Gutterman said. "People come down for the summer, or on a vacation and they go to the races after going to the beach."
Although a new course at Los Alamitos will give the track new opportunities to attract bettors to the more prestigious world of thoroughbred racing, Gutterman acknowledged that getting people to go to the racetrack — any racetrack — has become a difficult feat. There's a sense even among the track's operators that the trend from on-site betting to online betting is irreversible.
McKinzie said business at Los Alamitos is flat relative to the pace of betting at the track last year. The big challenge for operators is getting bettors to watch a race in person when one can bet at multiple tracks from home.
"It's not so much the overall business declines, but it's spread out" throughout many locations, McKinzie said.
Those locations are not just tracks but also racing enthusiasts' homes. The popularity of online wagering means only some 12 percent of bets made on a given race program is wagered by people present at the track. McKinzie said it's possible to imagine a time when the experience of watching a live race becomes a thing of the past.
"At some point in the future, the live track is going to function almost like a television studio," he said.
Hollywood Park was founded by movie industry titans in a time that could be described as either the Great Depression or the Golden Age of Hollywood. The famed Inglewood venue's first chairman was Jack L. Warner, one of the brothers who formed Warner Bros.
Although the Prairie Avenue track itself would have been a fairly long drive from Hollywood Boulevard when it opened in 1938, the original 600 shareholders included a virtual who's who of the movie industry — Walt Disney, Bing Crosby, Sam Goldwyn and Darrel F. Zanuck are but a few of those who owned equity in the track.
Los Alamitos, by contrast, traces its origins to more humble roots. The track's official history tells that Kentucky-to-California transplant Frank Vessels Sr. arrived in the Golden State in 1920 with but $19 in his pocket. In today's dollars, that amount would be worth about $221, not even enough to pay rent. Vessels established a construction company and in 1951 opened the Los Alamitos track for pari-mutuel betting.
Vessels died of a heart attack in 1963. His widow, Grace, and son Frank Vessels Jr. assumed control of the track and built Los Alamitos into "the Mecca of quarterhorse racing," according to a 1974 Press-Telegram column by Hank Hollingsworth that followed the younger Vessels' suicide. His widow, Millie, ran the Los Alamitos track as the United States' only female track owner.
She sold the track in 1984 for $58 million to Hollywood Park. The track was sold again in 1990 to Edward Allred and R.D. Hubbard. Allred, who became the sole owner in 1998, is a well-known figure outside of the world of horseracing. Allred is a co-founder of Family Planning Associates Medical Group, which opened as an abortion services provider in 1969 after then-Gov. Ronald Reagan signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act. A 2001 Forbes article reported that Allred occasionally received death threats.
Los Alamitos is not the only track poised to add races after Hollywood Park's closure. Santa Anita and Del Mar are also planning to expand their 2014 schedules to pick up races that would have otherwise pitted thoroughbreds against each other at Hollywood Park.
The thoroughbred is the long-limbed counterpart to the more muscular quarterhorse, the latter being bred for quick bursts of speed to race distances of one-quarter mile. Thoroughbred races are run at longer distances, meaning that savvy bettors have to consider a jockey's tactics (when will he make his move?) in addition to the physical health and conditioning of the horse.
"It takes a little more time. There's more drama to a thoroughbred race," Gutterman said. "Most of the quarterhorse races, you just go as fast as you can, for a short amount of time. For a thoroughbred race, you plan more."

(Pocket-lint) - Canon has updated its top "beginner" DLSR with the launch of the Canon EOS 700D.
The EOS 700D effectively tweaks the 650D it replaces, bringing a few incremental changes but still sticking to what we think is a great line of DSLR cameras. Canon says the changes make this its "most advanced consumer DSLR to date".
The EOS 650D now looks to have retired, so the EOS 700D sits above the EOS 600D and below the EOS 60D in the line-up. It offers a range of enhancements over the 600D by giving you a touchscreen on the rear and an additional position on the power switch to move straight to movie capture mode.
There's an 18-megapixel sensor at its heart along with the DIGIC 5 image processing engine, you get 5fps image capture, along with and ISO range that runs up to 12,800 natively, promising you good detail in low light. We'll test those claims when we get the EOS 700D in for a full review, although we suspect it will perform closely to the 650D.
READ: Canon EOS 650D review
There's a change to the mode dial on the top, as it can now rotate all the way, so you don't have to switch back and forth, so it's now more convenient.
There's a 3-inch touch display on the rear, as well as the optical viewfinder. The former gives you 100 per cent field of view when in live view, the latter only 95 per cent, typical for this class of camera.
Canon is highlighting the fact that the EOS 700D is coated in a new protective finish, designed to enhanced the durability of the camera. It's found on those in the mid-range, so should stop the plastic body of the EOS 700D getting scratched so easily.
We'll be bringing you more on the Canon EOS 700D as soon as we get our hands on one.

When Cierre Wood broke off that long TD run on a picture perfect option play in the first quarter today, it immediately brought this to mind, echoes of glorious Notre Dame teams and tailgates past :
More recently, there's this beautiful mess:
For rock trivia, did you know that the 'Mats longtime sound man and engineer Tim Powell was an Notre Dame grad?
My favorite personal ND 'Mats story - their mgr Peter Jesperson game me a cassette advance of Tim in September 1985, shortly before it came out. I headed off to ND for a game the next day. We brought a boom box into Lee's Ribs and blasted it in there after the game, then ended up at Bridget's late that night, where we paid the bartender $20 to turn it up full blast and play it all night on continuous loop. ND fans celebrated beating Michigan State 27-10 and heard Tim, arguably the great rock'n'roll album in American history, before anyone else in the US. A Midwestern celebration of the highest order.
It sounded like this:

|Logo of Sci-Hub. Fair use,
via Wikipedia.
As always, Björn Brembs has a great overview, a must read, though I think I disagree with the Sci-Hub As Necessary, Effective Civil Disobedience title. The argument from the developer of Sci-Hub convinces me more. Wikipedia writes: Alexandra Elbakyan has cited the Article 27 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights "to share in scientific advancement and its benefits".
I am not a lawyer and have no idea it this really applies, but as a scholar, it does reflect exactly what I care about: research should benefit society, directly or indirectly. We have established many routes, often involving some sustainability model (whatever that is). But at a very base level, there is nothing sustainable about knowledge that is hard to get. Scarcity improves value, but knowledge must be cheap, and unlike the AAP suggests, cheap is not the same as low quality (if only they had gotten that press release peer-reviewed...). If it would, then a simple smartphone would be of lower quality than a fax.
But civil obedience is not the solution. However, the point I want to make here is that the Sci-Hub practices are not really new: scholars have been sharing papers for free for many, many years. As a student I learned how to ask collaborators a copy of some paper important to the research you were doing. And to ask the author of the paper of a copy. This civil obedience was and is common sense. And publishers were happy about this for many, many years. That is, I have never heard of any of them going after universities for these practices of their scholars.
Sci-Hub just makes this common activity easier. It only makes it easier to look up scientific knowledge. It just that publishers do not seem to want that. It has to take effort (which is a sign of high quality research, right?).
So, here is my howto on how to get access to research output in a way that publishers have been happy with for at least twenty years:
- do not use ILL or go to a nearby university has access to the paper (do not make a list of papers you can get there and do not go there once a month; while there, do not meet up with other scholars to discuss science)
- do not ask collaborators or friends at other institutes if they have access
- email the corresponding author of the paper (after all, the author decided on a closed access license)
- try to ask for a reprint via their publication list provider, such as ResearchGate (the author will love your request via such systems!)
- email him again, if you have not received an answer in about a week
- repeat this step a few times; they are busy people and may have missed your earlier communication
- email other authors of the paper, possibly the ask the dean of the faculty to ask the author to send you a reprint
- once you have a copy of the paper, email the authors to say you have a copy of their paper (they may not even have access themselves, which may be the reason why they did not provide a reprint)
Really, this "reprint" concept has been quite formalized and some of you may still remember the term. Several publishers used to have specific URLs that allowed authors to share up to X (normally quite sufficient for most papers) that authors could send back in reply to one of your above emails. Of course, it would be silly to just have the first X PDF downloads for free anyway.
Oh, and some have asked the Open Access community to indicate their position about Sci-Hub practices. Well, as is clear from the above, the Open Access community has long ago responded how to solve the problem of access to literature: by creating the gold Open Access movement.
So, that's why I try to ensure my important work is Open Access. Because then I don't get bothered with tens of reprint requests and give me time to write this personal </rant>. In no way does this post reflect the position of my employer.

BIRMINGHAM, England, Dec. 15 (UPI) -- There's been a spike recently in the number of people in Britain falling ill with the stomach bug norovirus, health officials say.
The BBC reported Saturday outbreaks have been recorded at Birmingham's City Hospital, Maidstone Hospital in Kent and George Eliot Hospital in Nuneaton. In addition, more than 400 virus-infected passengers got off a cruise ship at Southampton.
The Health Protection Agency says it doesn't know the reason for the jump to 2,630 confirmed laboratory reports of the highly contagious illness from 1,533 in the same period last year.
"There are no indications as to why activity is higher this year," the agency said, adding, "It has been estimated that for every confirmed case there are around 288 unreported cases."
Agency experts say it is normal to see a series of sharp rises and falls in norovirus activity between October and April, with most falling between January and March.
Most people who fall victim to norovirus can expect to experience vomiting, diarrhea, fever, headaches and stomach cramps for a day or two.

Erskine Bowles, the Democratic co-chairman of President Obama's bipartisan deficit cutting commission, wrote a an op-ed in Friday's Wall Street Journal titled "Why I'm Optimistic About Cutting the Deficit."
Bowles, the former chief of staff to President Clinton, wrote: "America will only turn the corner on the debt if both sides come out of their corners to support a balanced plan that gets rid of unnecessary tax expenditures, and keeps the promise of Social Security and Medicare by putting entitlements on a sustainable path for the long haul."
But on Wednesday—just two days earlier—both sides came out of their corners to resoundingly reject just such a plan when the House of Representatives put to a vote a bill explicitly modeled on the recommendations of his Simpson-Bowles Commission report.
Oddly, Bowles did not acknowledge that the grand bipartisan compromise he has advocated went down in flames with 382 nays to just 38 aye votes, but cited an improving economy, a growing consensus on the importance of deficit reduction and increasing movement toward bipartisanship as reasons for optimism.
If history is a guide, however, the Simpson-Bowles report will go the way of countless blue-ribbon bipartisan commissions before it: Remember President Clinton's 1993 Bipartisan Commission on Entitlement and Tax Reform that was supposed to fix Medicare and Social Security before they became problems, while addressing tax expenditures like the home mortgage interest deduction that leave vast revenue holes in the budget? That commission, co-chaired by Bowles' respected, centrist Democrat predecessor John Breaux (along with Republican Bill Thomas) was ignored. Washington is the graveyard of bipartisan dreams.
Bowles says "the terms of the fiscal debate have fundamentally changed" in favor of bipartisanship, but recent budget developments provide a very different indication of the reality of the fiscal debate in Washington.
The Republican-controlled House also put Obama's own budget proposal to a vote on the same day Simpson-Bowles was crushed. That measure fared even worse, with 414 'no' votes to zero in favor. Apparently no Democrats wanted to be on record in an election year supporting a measure that would see taxes rise by $1.9 trillion. The next day, the GOP-controlled House passed Paul Ryan's budget, which cuts the growth rate of entitlements while lowering income tax rates, on a strict party-line vote.
Meanwhile, the Democrat-led Senate has taken an opposite tack, not having passed a budget in nearly three years. This is a further indication that Democratic policy preferences to solve budget problems through increased taxation do not currently resonate with the public. Similarly, Ryan's budget notwithstanding, Republicans have often gotten into electoral trouble for embracing entitlement reform, which Democrats have criticized as ending guarantees the public has relied on.
These recent budget moves illustrate why the Simpson-Bowles bipartisan approach likely has no future: It makes no one happy. It dispenses just enough poison to each side, offering Republicans tax hikes that they think will choke economic growth and handing Democrats entitlement cuts they think will rip up the social contract that underlies contemporary American society.
Despite the pious talk of deficit-cutting centrists about the need to stop kicking the can down the road, a grand compromise will likely elude us until a leader emerges, Democrat or Republican, who can win over a large majority of the public to his vision of our society. FDR and Reagan did that, and it remains to be seen whether the president or his challenger will be able to respond to the economic exigencies of our day, however pressing they may be.

Rodney delivers with first four-out save
HOUSTON -- Fernando Rodney often works himself in and out of trouble in save situations, but the Mariners closer inherited a most-difficult scenario on Saturday and delivered in Seattle's 9-8 win over the Astros.
Rodney entered the game with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth, the Mariners clinging to a 9-8 lead that had evaporated from 9-2 in alarming fashion, when relievers Dominic Leone and Yoervis Medina struggled.
Rodney missed on his first fastball to Jose Altuve, then fired four straight strikes that Altuve fouled off before getting the diminutive second baseman to fly out to right field. Rodney then hit the first batter he faced in the ninth before retiring the next three Astros in order, two on strikeouts.
"I don't like it, but we had to do it," manager Lloyd McClendon said of the four-out save and first multi-inning appearance Rodney has made this year. "I just don't think he's that type of guy, because he's a high-pitch guy, so having him go more than one is not ideal, but we had to do what we had to do. We didn't have any wiggle room."
Rodney sometimes can be erratic throwing strikes, but catcher Mike Zunino said the 37-year-old was on point with the bases-loaded situation on the way to his seventh save of the season.
"He just attacked the strike zone," Zunino said. "In a situation like that, we had to go right after the guy. There was nowhere to put him. It was a tough guy at the plate with Altuve there and he made some big pitches."

The White House, through economist turned flack Alan Krueger, wasted no time in blaming yesterday's lousy jobs report on the sequester. It's a ridiculous claim. As we observed, government employment held steady, and the sequester is too recent to have affected the private sector.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's, who is frequently cited by the Obama administration, agrees that the sequester is not yet in play. Zandi told CNBC: "I don't think the sequester is in here at all; it's way too premature for the sequester."
Zandi did identify a different culprit, though. As Eliana Johnson points out, the Moody's economist said that Obamacare might be having an impact on the jobs picture.
Although the sequester isn't having an impact yet, it almost certainly will. Anticipating this impact, congressional Republicans should move to decrease the extent of the sequester as it applies to defense spending. This way, they will be on record as opposing cuts that likely will cause many contractors to reduce their payrolls.
Trying to restore defense appropriations isn't just good politics; it's also sound policy. The sequester will hurt our preparedness, as President Obama's former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta admitted.
Unfortunately, neither political party seems to care much about our preparedness just now. The military, it seems, is seen primarily as a vehicle for social experimentation and/or budget cuts.
But in these "come home, America" times, military spending is also seen as a vehicle for employment. Ensuring the nation's security may no longer be viewed as sufficient reason not to slash defense spending. But preventing layoffs can perhaps function in its place.

|CTBF's Spiced Meatballs with Yogurt Sauce
|So glad I had some fresh pita on hand…it made for a perfect dish
I chose to use lamb. I love lamb, and it cooked up so flavorful. My butcher makes a lamb burger mixture that is not too lean; it made perfect meatballs. I cooked mine in my cast iron frypan. The aroma was fabulous.
|These were an unexpected surprise…totally delicious!
The photo in David's cookbook shows him eating his sausage in what looks like a pita to me. I knew that's the way I would serve mine. I made both sauces because my hubby likes mayo and I prefer yogurt. I also decided to serve mine with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. I have so many sitting on my counter! My garden has been quite plentiful this year.
The flavor was wonderfully delicious. These were a win for me and an ok for my hubby. I know these would be a welcomed dish for either of my sons. They love spicy! I will definitely be making them again. Happy Labor Day weekend everyone! And if you live in the path of Hermine, stay safe!!
|My lamb meatballs had a lot of fat, but...
|they cooked up perfectly and were marvelous with the yogurt sauce, cucumbers and tomatoes!


text: I have an assignment due for my Introduction to Java for which I have written the majority of the foundational code. The assignment is to write the code for text version of a popular logic game. I have written the code for the playing board, populated it with numbers and so on. My question is regarding a reset method which would reset the playing board returning all of values populating the board to their default values. I have written the code for this reset method and it works as a time procedure but I can't figure out where it should be placed within my application and how it redirect the application to start a new game. This reset method is a simple switch statement prompting the user to enter the letter "R" to prompt the resetting of the game. This works fine, displaying a "new" board but ends there not allowing another game to begin. I hope I have provided sufficient information to get a response... Thanks in advance.
