The televisions of CES 2013 are the sharpest, brightest, slimmest, biggest, and smartest TVs tech companies have ever shown — but they're also the priciest. With last year's 4K (four times the pixels of a 1080p display) screens now being called UHD — short for Ultra HD — TVs, display resolution is front and center as a key feature, which is unfortunately out of the everyday consumer's budget. Take a look at many of the TVs announced so far at CES, and stay tuned for more to come.
CES Gadgets For the Stylish Geek
The Consumer Electronics Show is still in full force in the Las Vegas desert, but we've already seen so many gadgets that we can't wait to get our hands on when we get back to the real world. Keep in mind that these products have yet to announce their prices and release dates and just dream about holding them in your hot little hands for now. Check out a few of our favorites here and don't forget to tell us which ones you have your eyes on in the comments.
Panasonic Lumix GX1 Offers Instagram-Style Effects Without Photoshop
Instagram has become an incredibly popular app for mobile photographers since its launch in 2010, and camera manufacturers are taking notice. Panasonic is hoping to lure mobile photography enthusiasts away from the smartphone by adding Instagram-style effects to its hardware. The Panasonic Lumix GX1 has two things going for it — its awesome retro style and customizable built-in photo filters that let you change the look and feel of your images without a secondary program like Photoshop.
Eight different filters — from "retro" to "toy camera" — give your photos a distinctive personality by adding a dose of color, contrast, and vignetting. The good news is, you can control just how much of the effect goes into your pics with the addition of a slider bar on the three-inch touchscreen LCD panel. Add a little or a lot — it's totally up to you. Additionally, the GX1 comes with a Touch Defocus tool that helps you achieve the Tilt-Shift effect, or just bring a subject into sharper focus by blurring out the background. You can even choose from four different aspect ratios, including 1:1 square if you can't get enough of that Instagram styling. An interchangeable lens model, the GX1 can be used with other Micro Four Thirds lenses as your skills improve.
You can get the Panasonic Lumix GX1 now for $700.
How About a Hair Wash From a Robot?
The 16-"fingered" machine has sensors that allow it to determine the optimal pressure and technique for individual people's scalps. It can also "remember" heads, so you get a consistent wash. Unfortunately, it's only in prototype phase, and will probably be pretty pricey when it does hit the market, since it's designed to assist large numbers of people living in nursing homes. Does this kind of robot excite you, or are you holding out for an automated hairstylist?
How Much Is This Twin-Lens 3D Camera?
We all know how expensive professional grade cameras can be, but this smaller, more portable Panasonic Twin-Lens number shoots your scenes in 3D fabulousness. Capable of HD 1080p recordings in three dimensions, a 3.2-inch side-mounted LCD screen to peep what you're shooting, and comes in at six pounds. It all sounds great, but can you guess how much it costs?
Take the QuizSkype Brings HD Video Calls to Your PCs, Internet TVs
In addition, Skype will be producing a line of high def webcams for your TV set so you can make the HD calls right from your living room — no PC required. The FV Touchcam N1 ($70 - $100) will ship in February, and the FreeTalk HD Pro ($120) will hit the virtual Skype shelves in March.

Snap Pics Like Kanye With a Panasonic Lumix LX3
Kanye just can't get enough digital cameras. We've already seen him with the stylish Leica D-LUX 3 at the 2007 Givenchy show in Paris a few years back, and now he's been spotted in London with a new Panasonic Lumix LX3 ($600) number around his neck.
The 10.1 megapixel LX3 is just what Kanye needs to capture great photos on his trips around the world — it comes with a large three inch LCD screen, shoots in 16:9 HD video, includes 21 fun scene modes like self portrait, pet, and starry sky, and it accepts expandable SD cards to boost its onboard 50MB internal memory space.Plus, this portable number takes excellent low-light photos, thanks to its wide aperture range and the newly developed Leica DC Vairo-Summicron lens, which captures clear shots during late night outings, concerts, and candlelight dinners. Perfect for a geek on the go!
Move Over Roomba: Here Comes a New Robotic Vacuum
I can't think of much not to love about the Roomba, but there's always room for competition in a market with one really great product.
So, welcome the Panasonic Fukitorimushi (Japanese for "wipe-up bug"), introduced recently at the Tokyo Fiber Senseware exhibition in Milan.
The Fukitorimushi (um, can we please just abbreviate it to "Fuki"? OK then) has a nanocloth underbelly, rather than a traditional sucking mechanism like a Roomba.
Its cloth-covered body kind of looks like you dropped a towel on the floor and forgot to pick it up, but I could learn to live with anything that cleans my apartment for me.

Does the Quicktime 7.6.1 update fix the 7.4 issue?
Edit: Ok, I'm a moron, I saw the update and saw 7.6.1 and didn't notice the iTunes on there. Sorry
Does the Quicktime 7.6.1 update fix the 7.4 issue?
Edit: Ok, I'm a moron, I saw the update and saw 7.6.1 and didn't notice the iTunes on there. Sorry
It'a QT 7.4.1 and it's not recomended.
7.8.2b does the trick.
Here's my updated QT adventure for today...
I've got a new Mac Pro. I can only install OSX 10.5.1 or later on it, which means it gets installed with QT 7.4. That is a problem, so I use Pacifist to clear 7.4 and install 7.3.1. Bad deal... 7.3.1 on this system crashes, hangs, causes all sorts of mayhem. I re-install, repair, etc.. nothing works. 7.3.1 is broken on this system. 7.4 has lots of issues too.
7.3.1 wasn't working, so I updated to 7.4.1. Everything has been running well now for the last couple hours and I've been hitting it pretty hard. The only issue I am having with 7.4.1 is stuttering playback in the QT proxies. But everything else is working. I can output from REDCINE to prores, I can output DPX, Tiff and EXR stills. Playback in REDCINE on this system is buttery smooth too at half res high... I've got a 3TB RAID I'm working off of -- iometer benchmarks it at 218MB/s, which seems pretty good for 3 x 1TB in a RAID-0.
Anyway, this system is pretty quick... I'll do some better benchmark tests with RC and RA after a bit.
So, for right now, 7.3.1 is still probably the best choice if you can run it OK. So far on this new 8-core 3.2GHz w/8800GT, 7.3.1 has been a bad thing.
Edit> why does playback of 4K 2:1 R3D files give be blue frames with frame buffer errors? Seems to be holding about 8fps, but I get blue frames that flash something to the effect of "can't lock image buffer". ???
We've got a brand new MacPro8 3.0 with Nividia 5600 and QT 7.4.1 ( QT 7.3.1 caused many probllems with 5600 and some apps.) and everything is working like a charm, also RedCine.
I spoke too soon... It looks like my ProRes output via REDCINE is hosed, I just get garbled video past frame 1 most of the time. Had REDCINE crash on me 3 times in the past hour.
I don't think it's QT related, but can't get any changes I make on the color panel to transfer through to any form of output. So REDCINE operation on this system are hit or miss. Restarting seems to clear up some of it for a bit, then it starts going screwy.
Eedit> It's difficult sorting out what is a QT bug and what is a problem or bug with REDCINE... Restarting the system and wiping out the REDCINE project directory and starting over fixes most all the problems. All working well again... For the moment.
System is Mac Pro 8-core 3.2GHz, 16GB RAM, 8800GT video, OSX 10.5.2, QT 7.4.1 w/all OS and pro apps updates installed including Leopard graphics update.
So far my new Mac Pro had not crashed (knock on wood). I've exported 2K DPX files out of Red Cine from 4K 2:1 and they look good. I haven't installed Final Cut or Pro Res yet....
System is Mac Pro 8-core 2.8GHz, 12GB RAM, 8800GT video, OSX 10.5.2, QT 7.4.1 w/all OS updates (but no app updates) installed including Leopard graphics update.
Still a work in progress. I am so reluctant to spend any money yet until some of these issues are resolved and we see what tools will best serve our purpose. In the meantime, I will use my Macbook Pro and experiment. My G5 Quad sits, anxiously wanting to take part in the festivities but I have to keep reminding him that he isn't good enough, he can't play with the big kids. Oh well, keep the tests coming. We'll eventually get all of this sorted out.
Ever since Quicktime 7.3 on xp 64 it crashes about one in two times I open a quicktime. Exporting to AVI inside QT Pro crashes every time. I can't transcode more than about 3 seconds from one quicktime to another in QT Pro. 7.4.1 did nothing to fix it. If anything now even more things are broken. Combustion can't export quicktime now...
I pray that one of these days Divx will just come pre-installed on all systems and I won't ever have another request for quicktime drafts. :rip_1:

Because Of You
I was listening to Kelly Clarkson's "Because Of You" music at the moment. Her song soothe my mood today after being heartbroken that my very own laptop is not functioning well again and today. I waited for my husband to come home after his work so he can take a look at it. He said it could be a Malware and he is trying to un-hide the things that this possible Malware is hiding. Thank God it's not a virus or something that will lose all my computer's pictures and important stuff. And Thanks to my Dear Husband who can fix this computer bug. At the moment I am using our family desktop to do my online tasks. Good thing I still have back up pictures in my portable drive. I hope I can get back to using my own lappy soon.
I took a picture of this pretty purple flowers during our visit to Hershey Garden's at Hershey, PA last month.

This page was last updated on August 8, 2011.
Since April 2010, Law School Transparency has received substantial coverage from both legal and traditional media. Writing about a new organization is a difficult task, but we've welcomed the opportunity to tell our story. Given that not every article linking to our website also discusses how we started out, we think including a post about our origins would be useful for first-time readers.
Law School Transparency is a Tennessee non-profit that was originally founded by two Vanderbilt law students (both of whom has since graduated) in July 2009. However, the co-founders — Patrick Lynch (Class of 2010) and Kyle McEntee (Class of 2011) — began the initiative well before making the decision to incorporate.
On March 14th, 2008, at Vanderbilt University Law School's Admitted Students Day, Vanderbilt took an important step towards improving transparency by releasing a list of where, and with whom, 196 of the 223 Class of 2007 graduates were employed. The list was well-received by accepted students, which at the time included Kyle. Kyle and another prospective student took Vanderbilt's list and added public data to create a spreadsheet, which they then published on various online discussion boards. Some prospectives chose to attend Vanderbilt at least partially because of the list, including Kyle. Once Kyle began law school, he and Patrick began discussing the benefits of the list and the possibility of creating a new standard across all law schools. Motivated by Vanderbilt's more comprehensive disclosure of job outcomes, the two began encouraging prospective students to contact other schools and ask for the same information.
However, individual prospectives on their own were unsuccessful at obtaining this information from schools. Seeing this, Patrick and Kyle began discussing other ways to cause schools to share the employment data they already collected. Meanwhile, Vanderbilt continued to release their own employment lists, which meant that Vanderbilt's Class of 2012 and 2013 received similar consumer information.
In the summer of 2009, Patrick and Kyle incorporated LST. This was the critical turning point in their efforts to increase law school transparency. It was apparent that law schools would be difficult to sway towards more disclosure, while also clear that law schools failing to meet a reasonable request for employment data would be the best way to achieve system-wide reform.
Patrick and Kyle researched the underlying reasons for why schools weren't already releasing the data. LST would then derive its own standard, with Vanderbilt's list as a base, and justify the new standard in an academic paper. After spending 8 months working on a white paper, Kyle and Patrick, through LST, finally began the campaign to drum up support for more law school transparency.
The white paper outlines and explains all of the available employment data and information. It is unique in that it took a position that was quite different than many of the most vocal critics of legal education at the time. In the end, the paper concludes that, even if prospectives possessed and understood all of the available information, they cannot make informed decisions except in rare circumstances. This critical exploration has become the basis for undercutting the criticism that "prospectives should have known better." Patrick and Kyle's research showed that they should not have.
Rather than focusing the blame on the law schools for this problem, LST's research found fault with the current employment reporting standards (primarily ABA Standard 509, the annual ABA Questionnaire, and the U.S. News Survey). As designed, the standards were not enabling (and still do not enable) prospectives to answer meaningful questions about post-graduation outcomes. LST articulated this problem, crafted a solution that cured at least some of the current standards' deficiencies, and then began exploring how to implement this standard through a number of avenues.
The first strategy was to send an initial request to the law schools. On July 12, 2010, all ABA-approved law schools received a request to comply with LST's standard. Schools were originally reluctant to even respond to the request, let alone commit voluntarily. Only one law school committed (and later backed out) to reporting Class of 2010 data under the LST Standard, while a few others said they would think about it. The request garnered wide media coverage on the central issues being addressed by LST. Following the initial request, LST issued a report, finalized the Guidelines for complying with the LST Standard, and then issued a second request on November 15, 2010. Predictably, no school committed to the LST Standard and the ABA Section of Legal Education would be forced to act.
It is important to reiterate that LST's initiatives have never been based on the frustration that recent graduates and current students have expressed due to the retraction of the legal hiring market. Both of LST's co-founders (and current Directors) are happy with their decisions to attend Vanderbilt, and often hold up Vanderbilt as an example in making the case for reform. Regardless of the economic climate, all prospective students (not just Vanderbilt's applicants) should have better information when deciding whether to invest in a law degree. LST's policy proposal are based on the simple notion that schools need to be disclose employment data to fulfill their obligations to fairly and adequately inform prospective students about the nature of the legal profession and opportunities within it.

THE major reason the director Baz Luhrmann gave for bringing his production of ''La Bohème'' to Broadway last fall is that he wanted new audiences to discover the lyrical richness and contemporary resonance of Puccini's enduring opera.
But since its premiere in 1896, audiences have hardly lacked opportunities to experience this operatic tale of ill-fated love among a band of impoverished, defiantly joyful Parisian bohemians in the early days of King Louis Philippe's reign. Opera America, a professional service organization, reports that during just the last 10 years American opera companies presented a total of 189 ''La Bohème'' productions. This weekend, however, is extraordinary. Opera buffs and opera neophytes in the New York area can choose among three productions of La Bohème:
* Tonight the New York City Opera presents its 2001 production by James Robinson, which updates the story to the early months of World War I and offers a young, gifted and eager cast.
* Tomorrow evening the Metropolitan Opera presents an accomplished cast in its popular 1981 production by Franco Zeffirelli, that grand affair with a cast-of-hundreds staging of the Cafe Momus scene; it will be the seventh of 14 performances of ''La Bohème'' at the Met this season and the 1,131st performance of the opera in the company's history.

Ex-drug addict (at least as far as we know he still is an ex) saying at one time drug users should go to jail. why is he not in jail, oh that's right because he is above everyone else (only in his mind)
Also didn't he say he would move out of the US if obama became president in 2008? If so why is he still here?
I listen to his show sometimes, and he is guilty of not giving all the info to his listeners so that would also make his listeners "low info" also.
You don't normally go off on a rant like this. Let's be honest, those on the Left don't have a lot of room to be yelling about morals, drug use and threats. Just this week MSNBC got caught, again, doctoring video. You have a Democratic Senator Bob Menendez being investigated by the FBI and if Chuck Hagel wasn't on drugs, we are in deep trouble.
Trust me, there is enough lying, cheating and half truths, from both sides, being churned out by politicians, newspapers and those in the media.

Loaves & Fishes has started its Packs 4 Kids Initiative to help equip students with school supplies. From now until July 31st, you can drop off items such as three-ring binders, colored-pencils, scissors, and glue-sticks, or leave the shopping up to a Loaves & Fishes volunteer and donate $20.
Last year, the initiative eased the back to school shopping for nearly 1,600 kids. The pantry hopes to top that and aid more than 2,000 students.
The key to breaking the cycle of poverty is education, said Nancy Couch, Volunteer Coordinator for Packs 4 Kids. If we can equip every child for success on the first day of school, then we have a good chance of breaking the cycle of poverty for that child.
For a full-list of supplies needed, visit www.loaves-fishes.org.

this product really helped me alot since i have very light and sparse eyebrows. it stays on and doesnt smear. the only thing about it is that im asian w/ black hair and the different shades of brown they have dont match exactly. i wish they came out with a shade of light charcoal or somethin... but anyhow i would still buy again. i ended up dying my hair dark brown anyways :)
This was the first eyebrow product I had ever used (I had never realised what a difference groomed brows make!) but it's become a staple for me - especially when I was letting my eyebrows grow in after getting a bit too pluck-happy! My eyebrows now have a good shape but there's no way I could have let them grow in without using this to fill in the shape. The price is mega expensive but it lasts forever, I've had mine for nearly a year and have barely dented it. My only disappointment is that the clip on my compact broke after it fell out my back - sturdier packaging would make this perfect. In terms of the product itself it does a great job of filling in gaps and making the brows look polished. If I ever run out I'll be at the Benefit counter straight away.
I use this stuff everyday. It makes my eyebrows look great:)! The only thing that sucks is you have to buy the hard angle brush for this to truly work (the little brush that it comes with SUCKS!). Overall a great product for eyebrows!
More reviews by SophiaJacqueline
I love this! It all depends on how you apply this to get it looking natural. Powder is just in my opinion more natural than a pencil when it comes to your brows. The waxy stuff goes on first, then the powder to set it. It's just made to make your eye brows fuller or to add a little length.
I don't use the angled brush that comes with it because i feel its too flimsy, so instead i use my own eye brow brush from Sephora. It also stays on all day. I get complements all the time on my brows and when i tell them i fill them in, they can't tell.

Not a good product for those who have few brows to work with in the first place.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
For reference, I'm an NC40 Asian with dark but very thin brows. Without Benefit's Brow-Zing my face looks washed out and tired with something missing. I'm very lucky to have discovered this product because now my eyes and cheeks stand out more. The product comes in a small black compact with a mini angled brush, a regular touch up brush and a mini tweezer. Before discovering Brow-zings I was always afraid to draw my brows in because it would look fake and cartoon-ish. I also tried filling them in with a dark powder and it didn't work also. Brow-Zing is able to fill in the sparse areas to make my brows fuller and defined with a natural look and color. You can hardly tell I put anything on. With Brow-Zing you get a wax and a light powder that you can mix to get the right color for your brows. A great investment, I can definitely use this every day.
My brows tend to be on the thicker side and the wax was just way too gummy for me. It felt very paste-like on and looked really fake. I think it's just too thick for brows like mine. But I did really like the mini-kit that comes with it since it's convenient to have the tweezers and the brush in one little kit.
I have been using this for over two years,and still have a lot left. This is very easy to use and just makes my eyebrow looks better. Love it!
If there is one thing I hate more than pinkish streaky foundation clumsily smeared on too pale a skin, it is those carefully 'drawn' red-brown eyebrows...If only they knew they looked only slightly better than a sub-trainee clown...
I really like this set because it gives you a very natural filling-in and definition to sparse or misplucked eyebrows. It tidies them up very nicely and gives just a hint of colour, not unstylish greasy lines.
However, I am pretty sure the guys at Benefit never ever put their hands on this packaging before it was put on the market, as it is literally impossible to open it (the sliding film approach DOES work btw, genius, angelyshis :)) and the brushes are horribly dysfunctional. Get your own proper brushes from Mac or Bobbi Brown to get a proper use out of it. Other than that, it stays on all day, doesn't interfere with the rest of the makeup and the colours are very natural.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
While leaving Macy's one day a very nice MA stopped me to show me this product. I was so impressed with the completed look, natural yet pulled together that I bought this very expensive product. I like how she mixed the wax and powder. It has taken me some time to get it right, but I think I've got it now and it is so much more natural looking than the dark brown eyeshadow that I was using on my brows before. I deducted a lippie as the packaging is so impossible to open that some mornings I don't have time to fight to open it and revert to my old shadow in the interest of time. Also the brushes and tweezers are utterly useless, I threw them out as when I do manage to get the product open these just fly out. Benefit, please hear our cry about the awful packaging!
UPDATE ON EASY OPENING OF THIS PRODUCT** I found a trick that always works and that doesn't break my nails. Take the clear plastic insert from any new makeup product, slide it inbetween the top and bottom portions on the side of the compact, then while it is still in the compact, slide it around to the front where the 'catch' is and voila!! It will unlatch and open. YAY!!
UPDATE** I have deducted more lippies. The wax in this is great, I apply eith a spooley brush, but the powder fades so quickly. After just a couple hours my brows are gone!

Gloria Patri
The dramatically-lit polished aluminium shields, trophies and discs of Gloria Patri are hung at varying heights, making use of peripheral vision. Media reports of battle from the war in Iraq in the early 1990s are etched onto the surface of the shields and presented with a super-flat metallic shine, parodying the way masculinity is defined and displayed. As part of the artist's ongoing interrogation of gender politics, Gloria Patri considers the consequences, for women, of adopting the masculine ideal, for instance, demanding the right to go to the front line and kill the enemy. Although, she addresses this obliquely through a narrative about physical fitness rather than combat. |

When someone's detected with cancer, people assume that sooner or later, death is certain. Agreed that survival rates of some cancers aren't very good due to the fact that they are diagnosed really late. By that time, metastasis (cancer spread) has occurred and death becomes inevitable due to multiple organ failure. However, if we are aware of the fact that anyone – be it a child, a newlywed, a young active college-going kid or your aging mother, can suffer from cancer, it is worth your while to know and understand the disease. Awareness about its presenting symptoms could be life-saving. Difference of a few days in the diagnosis and treatment due to increased awareness could just save someone's life!
Generally, at an overall level, if fever, body ache, a feeling of ill-being and unexplained loss of weight are troubling you for more than three months, one can suspect cancer. Do visit your physician and get your blood tests done. There could also be chronic tiredness & fatigue because in certain cancers, the bone marrow does not produce enough red cells leading to reduced hemoglobin and weakness.
Though we obviously cannot enlist every presenting symptom here as every person is unique and it may present differently every time, we have attempted some of the more common ones:
- Alternating diarrhea and constipation for a prolonged time period: could be a symptom of intestinal cancer.
- Persistent cough and hoarseness of voice: If it persists despite full course of antibiotic therapy, it could indicate cancer of the throat.
- Blood in stools: could indicate gastrointestinal cancer.
- Blood in urine: If you happen to see reddish-colored urine and have fever and pain in the abdomen, it could be a cancer of the kidney.
- A non-healing ulcer in the mouth: It could indicate an oral cancer, especially if you are a smoker or chew tobacco (as gutka, tambaku).
- Prolonged menstrual bleeding: If you witness periods for more than 10 days to weeks, it could indicate uterine cancer.
- Blood in sputum/ phlegm along with cough: If you have persistent cough leading to blood in your phlegm/ sputum, it could indicate lung cancer.
- Recurring jaundice: If you've been suffering from jaundice off and on, it's time you screen yourself for liver cancer.
- Lump in the breast: Although not all lumps in the breast are cancerous, it is worthwhile to get them examined by a good breast surgeon. Women over 35 years of age should ideally get mammography done every one or two years.
- Change in the size of a wart, mole: It could indicate skin cancer.
- Thickening or lump anywhere on the body which is either growing or lasts for more than a few days should be shown to the physician too.
Now that you are aware, do get yourself or your loved ones screened early for better chances of survival. Do spread the word – it could save someone's precious life

Publisher | Doubleday |
Publication date | 2003 |

The Wee Free Men is a 2003 comic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, which takes place in his Discworld setting. It is labelled a "Story of Discworld" to indicate its status as children's or young adult fiction, unlike most of the books in the Discworld series. A sequel, A Hat Full of Sky, appeared in 2004 (both books were republished in a combined edition, The Wee Free Men: The Beginning, in August 2010); a third book called Wintersmith appeared in 2006; and the fourth, I Shall Wear Midnight, was released in September 2010.
While Terry Pratchett's first Discworld book for children, The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents had swearing translated to rat language, in this book it is in the dialect of the Nac Mac Feegle which is taken from Scots and Scottish Gaelic.
An illustrated edition of the novel, with pictures by Stephen Player, appeared in print on October 2, 2008.
Plot summary[edit]
Tiffany Aching is a 9 year old girl who sees things differently to others. Her brother Wentworth was kidnapped by The Queen of the Fairies (or the Quin). Tiffany sets out with a bunch of 6 inch tall Fairies called Nac Mac Feegles, small blue men with tattoos all over, to go to Fairyland and rescue Wentworth.
In January 2006, reports emerged that director Sam Raimi[2] had signed up to make a movie based on this novel with a script by Pamela Pettler, the writer of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. Sony Pictures Entertainment had recently acquired the rights to the book. The producers are Josh Donen, Vince Gerardis, and Ralph Vicinanza. No other details have been released about the film adaptation.[3]
In a June 2008 interview, Pratchett said: "I saw a script that I frankly thought was awful. It seemed to be Wee Free Men in name only. It had all the hallmarks of something that had been good, and then the studio had got involved. It probably won't get made."[4] In December 2009, Pratchett said that he had "got back The Wee Free Men".[5]
In 2012 Rhianna Pratchett announced on Twitter that she would be adapting Wee Free Men into a movie. [6]

I agree, it's a very good looking plane. Quick question, though. A lot was made of the fact that Cessna went far beyond the necessary certification testing with the skycatcher (that testing was what resulted in the two infamous spin accidents). Has the Piper Sport been through similar testing? Will it?
I must confess to some confusion about the PiperSport hoopla, and its aim at the flight school market. Irrespective of how nice the airplane flies, the current set of business structures doesn't pass a due-diligence review for such use for me.
Here's the basic analysis and argument: Use in a flight school necessarily, and obviously, involves a commercial use of the airplane. All LSAs used for a commercial purpose must be SLSAs. For SLSAs, and unlike standard-certified airplanes, it is the manufacturer who controls every aspect of the airplane - especially its configuration and maintenance; not the FAA. There are no local modifications possible (such as one would do with a 337 ) without the express consent of the manufacturer; and there is no maintenance performed outside of the particular and specific set of procedures found in the manufacturer's Maintenance Manual. Further, if the manufacturer ceases operations, the airworthiness category (S-LSA) is null and void requiring a new airworthiness as an E-LSA.
For SLSAs used for commercial purposes, one is entering into a long-term relationship with the manufacturer. And there's the rub.
Who is the PiperSport's manufacturer? It is not Piper (or New Piper to be more specific). And, it is not PiperSport Distribution, Inc. (a separate business entity from New Piper). It is Czech Sport Aircraft, sa.
Look at the "fine print" disclosures on the sales agreement. These are acknowledged; and it is a fundamental difference between what Cessna is doing and what Piper is doing.
What is Piper's mitigation to this risk? Frankly the Czech company is, and has been, pretty shaky. Yet this is the business entity a flight school is entering into a relationship with, not Piper.
In a worst-case scenario, a flight school's PiperSport fleet could instantaneously be rendered unairworthy, and when re-issued E-LSA airworthiness certificates, they couldn't be used for training.
Whoa! Slow down! The "PiperSport" may not be the answer.
I too got really excited when I first heard about the Sport Cruiser built by Czech Sport Aircraft. I walked through the Light Sport area at AirVenture and after looking at many LSA alternatives I picked the Sport Cruiser as the one I wanted. It has great looks, features and specs.
When I finally found one I could fly (I'm in Southern California) I took it for drive. Here's a quick summary of issues. At takeoff I was cautioned to point the nose well right of the centerline, hold full right rudder and, after throttle-up, wait for the torque to bring the nose around to the centerline and, hopefully, you have gained enough rudder authority to hold the nose on the centerline. It works, but it's unconventional.
I was also warned, with a lot of emphasis, that the Sport Cruiser was very pitch sensitive so to be really careful in lifting off the runway. I really tried to ease it off, but over-controlled anyway. It IS pitch sensitive even at low speeds.
In the pattern it was suggested to fly it with flaps down in order to pitch the nose down enough for forward vision. I did that and it helps, but, again, it's not conventional.
As an experienced pilot I found this a fun airplane to fly. It is highly responsive, has great performance and great visibility. I would NOT recommend it as a trainer aircraft. It's a jitterbug and requires unconventional piloting procedures. Hopefully, Piper will do some redesign to make the aircraft have better flying characteristics as a trainer. Otherwise, the PiperSport will not be the aircraft that we all hope it might be.
For the record, I am a Piper flier and wish Piper well, but they may not be headed in the right direction with this choice as an introductory, training aircraft.

As announced in the Apache News Blog that there will be no further work to develop Struts 2.x.
I coped this from: Napkin Look & Feel is a pluggable Java look and feel that looks like it was scrawled on a napkin. You can use it to make provisional work actually look provisonal, or just for fun.
The idea is to try to develop a look and feel that can be used in Java applications that looks informal and provisional, yet be fully functional for development. Often when people see a GUI mock-up, or a complete GUI without full functionality, they assume that the code behind it is working. While this can be used to sleazy advantage, it can also convince people who ought to know better (like your managers) that you are already done when you have just barely begun, or when only parts are complete.

«Zurich Chess Challenge 2014» with Viswanathan Anand and Magnus Carlsen
The «Zurich Chess Challenge 2014» will be the first encounter between the newly crowned World Champion, Norway's Magnus Carlsen, and the former title holder, India's Viswanathan Anand after their recent match in Chennai. From Wednesday, 29 January to Tuesday, 4 February 2014, they will compete in the 3rd Zurich Chess Challenge along with four other great chess stars Levon Aronian (Arm), Hikaru Nakamura (USA), Fabiano Caruana (It) and Boris Gelfand (Isr). With an average of 2794 Elo points (according to the September 13 rating list) this is going to be the strongest tournament in chess history.
The main sponsor is Oleg Skvortsov of the «International Gemological Laboratories», Moscow, with the Zurich Chess Club acting as organizer.
The owner of «IGC International Gemological Laboratories», Mr. Oleg Skvortsov, is the creator of this chess event. He not only loves chess, but also plays chess and supports chess events. Furthermore, Mr. Skvortsov knows many of the greatest chess players in the world personally and has played a lot of games with them.
The first Zurich Chess Challenge in 2012 was a match between Kramnik and Aronian. The second event in 2013 was a double-round robin with Kramnik, Anand, Caruana and Gelfand.
For the 2014 edition, a blitz tournament will determine the color distribution. A round-robin tournament of five rounds with a classical time control is then followed by a rapid tournament with colors reversed on the last day of play. A won game in the classical tournament counts 2 points, a draw 1 point. Wins in the rapid tournament count 1 point and draws half a point.
All games will be commented by Yannick Pelletier and Werner Hug and broadcast live via Internet.

With the steep rise of wealth in China and Vietnam, the perception of rhino horn benefits seems to have grown as well. Even though up to 2007 only about a dozen rhinos were killed yearly in South Africa, recent years have shown a dramatic increase in the greed for rhino horns. As a recent article in TIME magazine narrates, African game ranchers, safari guides and wildlife officials — precisely those who should be protecting the beasts — have been caught dabbling in the trade. At the same time, Asian criminals posing as big-game hunters are spending tens of thousands of dollars on licenses that allow them to legally shoot rhinos in South Africa, adding a respectable veneer to a nasty pursuit. A continent away, Chinese business interests are investing lavishly in a shadowy rhino-farming scheme that threatens to contravene international law. Taken together, these elements amount to "the most sophisticated organized crime that the convention has had to face in its history," says John Sellar, head of the enforcement office for the CITES secretariat.
Below is a well-made infographic from Earth-Touch, Rhinos By The Numbers, which tells a good story about the plight of rhinos and their struggle against poachers in Africa.
In 2010 South Africa 333 rhinos to poaching in 2010. Things are not looking up this year. According to WWF, nearly 200 rhinos have been killed in South Africa during the first half the year, as per statistics from the national parks department.
If you're in the dark about the poaching crisis, you'll find some need-to-know facts in our slick infographic (click to enlarge).
Earth-Touch also created a great animated video based on the infographic:
