BOSTON -- Chris Kelly returned from his broken left tibia suffered last March in speedy fashion. The injury usually requires around six weeks, but Kelly was back in four.
"Sore," he said of how it felt. "Wearing a brace, that's something new and you're obviously limited on certain movements. But everyone has certain things like that, it's just part of the game and as players you just want to get back as soon as you can and I tried to do that."

Sweet Citrus Pull Apart Bread
Posted By One Hungry Mama On February 18, 2013 @ 8:00 am In 12+ mos,24+ mos,breakfast & brunch,dessert,entertaining,fruit,snacks,sweet baked stuff | 2 Comments
Who's noticed that I've been on a bit of a health kick since January? Not that I really consider it a kick since my cooking naturally veers towards healthy and wholesome. Still, I usually throw in a homemade treat here or there. But other than the apple galette [1], which the boys and I made at the tail end of our holiday break, and the Valentine's Day Twinkies [2], a requisite treat for February 14, you'll see that I haven't been making much sweet stuff.
I guess it's because the holidays were a blood bath—in the best way, of course—and I've been feeling good sticking with super healthy eats. (I swear that it has something to do with the daily super smoothie that I mentioned while telling you about my Apple, Beet and Pomegranate Salad [3].) But you know how I feel about these things: moderation is key, especially with little ones. Life's too short to not enjoy some wholesome, homemade sweets. So, a couple of weekends ago, with tons of gorgeous in-season citrus on my hands, I decided to whip up an out of this world Citrus Pull Apart Bread.
My favorite desserts are either cinnamony or lemony, and my favorite time to make desserts is the winter when, thanks to peak citrus season, the combination of the two is perfection. Case in point: my Meyer Lemon Cherry Coffee Cake [4] and Lemon Blueberry Crumb Bundt Cake [5]. Both are delicious and perfect for this time of year, but I decided it was time to develop a new, citrusy, coffee cakey treat. So I began to research.
I started by looking up recipes for lemon cinnamon rolls and came across this Lemon Pull-Apart Coffee Cake [6] at Leite's Culinaria. Note to self: make this. I kept researching and stumbled across this review of the recipe on Leite's Culinaria from the good folks at The Kitchn [7]. Note to self: make this now.
Which is what I did. (What can I say, I'm an easy sell.)
What happened to my research? I abandoned it, that's what. I was lost in sweet lemon bread ecstacy. I was thinking, "Who needs another lemony roll when this exists?" That's how good this shizzzzz is.
I'll pick up my research again before citrus season is done and gone. I'm still craving a new sweet that combines lemon and cinnamon. In the meantime, though, there's this Citrus Pull Apart Bread. One glance at the recipe and you can see that it requires a bit more effort than most of my own, but I swear it's worth it. And, hey, it's a recipe that I can guarantee that the kids will eat with no problem!
Sweet Citrus Pull Apart Bread
From Baking for All Occasions [8] by Flo Braker, via Leite's Culinaria [6]
(can be shared with kids 12+ mos)*
Makes one 9×5″ loafFor the sweet dough:
2 3/4 cups (12 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) granulated sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 envelope) instant yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup whole milk
4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperatureFor the lemon filling:
1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
3 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest (from 2 to 3 lemons, preferably organic)
1 tablespoons finely grated orange zest, preferably organic
2 ounces unsalted butter, meltedFor the cream cheese icing:
3 ounces cream cheese, softened (OHM note: I used creme fraiche, which worked nicely if you like tangy icing)
1/3 cup (1 1/4 ounces) confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juiceMake the sweet dough:
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together 2 cups (9 ounces) of the flour with the sugar, yeast and salt; set aside. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat just until the butter is melted. Remove from heat, add the water, and set aside until warm (120 to 130°F [49 to 54°C]), about 1 minute. Add the vanilla extract.2. Pour the milk mixture over the flour-yeast mixture and, using a rubber spatula, mix until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened. Attach the bowl to the mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and, with the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, making sure that the first is incorporated before adding the second. Once the second egg is well incorporated, stop the mixer, add 1/2 cup (2 1/4 ounces) flour and resume mixing on low speed until the dough is smooth, 30 to 45 seconds. Add 2 more tablespoons flour and mix on medium speed until the dough is smooth, soft, and slightly sticky, about 45 seconds.
3. Sprinkle a work surface with 1 tablespoon flour and turn the dough onto the flour. Knead gently until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky, about 1 minute, adding an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons flour if (and only if!) the dough is unworkably sticky. Place the dough in a large bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place (about 70°F [21°C]) until doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes. (OHM note: You can leave the dough longer than this if necessary.) Press the dough gently with a fingertip. If the indentation remains, the dough is ready for the next step. If not, allow it to rise longer.
Make the lemon filling:
4. While the dough is rising, in a small bowl, mix together the sugar, lemon zest and orange zest; set aside. (The sugar draws out moisture from the zests to create a sandy-wet consistency, so don't be alarmed when you see this.)Assemble the coffee cake:
5. Adjust the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan.6. Gently deflate the dough. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 20-by-12-inch rectangle. Using a pastry brush, spread the melted butter generously over the dough. Cut the dough crosswise into 5 strips, each about 12 by 4 inches. (A pizza cutter is helpful here.) Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of the zest-sugar mixture over a first buttered rectangle. Top with a second rectangle and sprinkle it with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the zest-sugar mixture. Repeat with the remaining dough rectangles and zest-sugar mixture, so that you end up with a stack of 5 sugared rectangles.
7. Slice the stack crosswise through the 5 layers to create 6 equal strips, each about 4 by 2 inches. Fit these layered strips into the prepared loaf pan, side by side, cut edges up. (While there is plenty of space on either side of the 6 strips widthwise in the pan, fitting the strips lengthwise is tight. But that's fine because the spaces between the dough and the sides of the pan fill in during baking.) Loosely cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place (70 °F [21°C]) until puffy and almost doubled in size, 30 to 50 minutes (OHM note: Again, you can let the dough sit longer, if necessary). Press the dough gently with a fingertip. If the indentation remains, the dough is ready for baking.
8. Bake the coffee cake until the top is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes.
Make the cream cheese icing:
9. In a medium bowl with a rubber spatula, vigorously mix the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the milk and lemon juice until the mixture is creamy and smooth.10. To remove the coffee cake from the pan, tilt and rotate the pan while gently tapping it on a counter to release the cake sides. Place a wire rack on top of the pan and flip the pan over, releasing the cake onto the rack. Carefully lift the pan off of the loaf. Place another wax paper-lined rack or a large-enough plate on the loaf and invert again so that it is right side up.
11. Using a pastry brush, coat the top of the warm cake with the icing to glaze it. (Cover and refrigerate the leftover icing for another use. It will keep for up to 2 days.)
12. Serve the coffee cake warm or at room temperature. To serve, you can pull apart the layers, or you can cut the cake into 1-inch-thick slices on a slight diagonal with a long, serrated knife. If you decide to cut the cake, don't attempt to cut it until it is almost completely cool.
*Note: While there is nothing in this that is unsafe for younger eaters, I recommend this starting at 12 months due to the high sugar content. Whatever age your eaters, be sure to serve age-appropriate portions. A little of this sweet treat goes a long way.

Best Uses
Comments about STM Jacket Laptop Sleeve - Medium:
I use this sleeve for my 15" MacBook . The outer zippered pocket fits the power cord and a cordless mouse with no space for anything else. There's a pocket length-wise on the backside but is open-top so whatever goes in there is not secured. I put an extra padded handle to the shoulder strap for comfort. I carry a second bag for books and other accessories as this sleeve is strictly built to carry only the thin laptop. However I like the snuggly fit for it provides good protection, furthermore it sports a stylish look.

Highs and lows from Sutton United's opening win in the Skrill South
11:15am Wednesday 21st August 2013 in Sport By Tim Ashton
Sutton United's first win of the Skrill South season came at a cost as Jamie Stuart joined the back of an increasing queue outside the treatment room.
Already without Jamie Slabber, Simon Downer and Dale Binns, skipper Stuart limped out of the 4-1 win over Staines Town last night after a challenge that saw the Staines man sent off.
However, aside from the three points, there was a silver lining in that Jamie Taylor – himself just returning from injury – bagged two clinical goals to cement his tag of goalscorer.
Louis-Ray Beadle's red card in the first half came with the score at 1-0, and United took full advantage with a Craig Dundas strike and an own goal off a Dean McDonald cross.
Taylor said: "It is always nice to score your first of the season, especially after the disappointment of Saturday at Eastleigh [1-0 defeat].
"But it's nice to get any sort of win at home and we did it in style."
He added: "After the sending off, the lads were queuing up to score – there were five or six of us.
"I should have got my third goal but I snatched at a shot when I would normally back myself to score.
"It could have been eight, but it is three points regardless whether it is 1-0 or 10-0."
Doswell said: "Jamie [Stuart] is struggling. The Staines lad came through his ankle and when Jamie comes off the pitch, it is a fair assumption that he is injured because I have never known him to come off without reason.
"It is not looking too good, but we will have to wait and see ahead of Saturday."
Doswell, who gave Damian Scannell his debut in midfield against Staines, added: "We don't want too many more as it is becoming a problem.
"Jamie [Slabber] missed the Aldershot game, and we gave him a week's rest.
"Since then we have done lots of remedial work and he trained last week, and felt fit to start against Eastleigh. Then he felt the hip in the warm-up and we could not risk him.
"He is going for a scan tomorrow [Wednesday] and hopefully it will be two or three weeks' remedial recovery, hopefully it won't be too serious."
Man of the moment: Jamie Taylor bagged two in the win over Staines (all pictures: SP78637)
All for one: Celebration times after Jamie Taylor's opener
Clear: Anthony Riviere clears the Sutton United back lines
So close: Craig Dundas is beaten to possession by the Staines keeper Jack Turner
Not this time: Jamie Taylor fires towards goal but with no end product
New boy: Debutant Damian Scannell brings the ball away for Sutton United
Looking into the sun: Manager Paul Doswell

"Vanishing Point is a 47 minute composition, which Kahn has dedicated to his daughter who died shortly before Kahn began working on this piece in 2007. For all of the phenomenological studies and stoic mesmerism attributed to much of his catalogue, Vanishing Point is a subtle and hypnotic elegy for rattling metals, timbral vibration, gossamer static, hissing field recordings, and those aforementioned colored noises. Soon into the piece, Kahn introduces a flickered ghost of melody whose luminous tones manifest ever so slightly against his contrails of noise. The upper register hiss and statics of these layered noises slowly drop in pitch and frequency over the duration of the piece, revealing subharmonic rumblings and an oceanic current that tugs at the agitated textures of Kahn's surface noises. This glacial, minimalist shift renders Vanishing Point elegant and meditative.
American sound-artist Jason Kahn is an exacting technician when it comes to the principles of noise. However, his application of noise in composition is not that of Merzbow or Masonna, with teeth-gnashing explosions of distortion, feedback, and volume; rather, Kahn's psychoacoustic techniques employ the specific frequencies of white, pink, brown, and blue noise in works that reflect the ideals of minimalism. These are sounds that regularly occur through the constant vibration of machinery; and Kahn is more than happy to appropriate such events through field recording. He also generates complementary noises through systems that involve the rattling architecture of a drum kit or through his trusted analog synthesizer. Vanishing Point is a 47 minute composition, which Kahn has dedicated to his daughter who died shortly before Kahn began working on this piece in 2007."-23Five

Dish Chairman Charles Ergen, meanwhile, could be forced to search anew for a partner that could help the satellite TV provider get into the wireless phone business. Dish owns billions of dollars worth of spectrum but lacks a network to put it to use.
Dish has fought this year to buy Sprint and Clearwire, attempts that now appear to be in jeopardy. Dish didn't reply to requests for comment.
While the satellite operator could still jump back into either contest, Dish said earlier this week it wouldn't meet a deadline to lodge a higher bid for Sprint, tipping the balance of that contest in favor of SoftBank. Sprint's latest offer for Clearwire is about 14% more than the $4.40 a share that Dish has offered in a public tender.
Clearwire finished up 7.3% at $5.04, Sprint rose 1% to $7.07 while Dish fell slightly to $39.18.
The new bid was the result of a more than 24-hour negotiating session between Sprint and Clearwire, people familiar with the matter said.
"We got into a position where we had to move very rapidly," Clearwire Chief Executive Erik Prusch said. "We're in a position right now where we've got certainty and where we've got value that's being delivered."
Clearwire had long struggled with a heavy debt load that pushed it to the brink of a bankruptcy filing and left its shares trading near $1 apiece a year ago. But it has emerged as a critical asset as the U.S. wireless industry consolidates, thanks to changing user habits that have highlighted the value of its huge stores of spectrum.
Sprint's new offer for the company is 68% higher than it originally offered in December.
Clearwire's board is recommending that shareholders support the new offer. Sprint said it also has received commitments from Clearwire shareholders including Mount Kellett Capital Management LP, Glenview Capital Management LLC, Chesapeake Partners Management Co. and Highside Capital Management LP, to vote in favor of the deal and to sell their shares to Sprint even if the vote fails.
Those shareholders own about 9% of Clearwire's voting shares. Sprint needs the support of a majority of the roughly 49% of Clearwire's voting stock it doesn't own to close the deal. In addition to the funds' combined 9% stake, Sprint already had an agreement to acquire another 13% stake from Clearwire investors Comcast Corp. CMCSA +0.02% Comcast Corp.

CARTHAGE - A Moore County woman is accused of starving her pit bull dog to death, authorities said.
Devonna Patrice Roundtree, 32, of the 100 block of Taylor Avenue in Taylortown, is charged with killing an animal by starvation, said Capt. Bill Mackey of the Moore County Sheriff's Office.
Narcotics investigators executing a search warrant at the residence March 27 found the dog's body in a pen in the back yard, Mackey said.
Animal Control officers determined the dog died of starvation, Mackey said.

Peggy Susan Hermansen, 71, of Blackfoot passed away Friday, May 3, 2013 at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. She was born Aug. 8, 1941 in Blackfoot, the daughter of Robert Harker Cook and Mildred Lucille Hopla Cook. She graduated from Snake River High School in 1959. On Dec. 16, 1960, she married Martin Hermansen in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. Peggy was raised in Thomas, and has lived in Massachusetts; Philadelphia; Hampton and Norfolk, Va.; and Great Lakes, IL, all while Martin was serving in the Navy.
Eugene Van Orden, 71, of Pingree passed away Saturday, May 4, 2013 at his home. He was born Feb. 5, 1942 in Pingree, the son of Edmond Orlando Van Orden and Mae Irene Liljinquist Van Orden. Eugene graduated from Snake River High School in 1960. On June 17, 1960, he married Carolynn Furniss in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple. He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in a bishopric, as High Priest group leader, various other callings and was currently serving as a temple ordinance worker until his health declined.
Today is teachers' appreciation day. Third grade teacher Tammi Dayley teaches at Stoddard Elementary. This year marks her 32nd year teaching there. Dayley started teaching at Stoddard Elementary in January 1986 when she took the place of a teacher who left for maternity leave. She has taught first grade, Title 1 and third grade. "I love the kids," said Dayley. "I love to see them progress. "Third graders are like little sponges and they still really like their teacher," she said.
AMERICAN FALLS — Make no doubt about it, the Snake River Lady Panthers came to play on Monday afternoon as they split the day with a 13-1 win over American Falls to advance the district championship game and then falling just short in a seventh inning rally as they settled for second place with a 9-7 defeat to Bear Lake. "What can I say? The girls battled all the way to the end." Snake River head coach Kay Martin said. "They came out firing in game one and took care of business and then even though we were down all the way through the second game they just never gave up and I think that it is a testament to the character of these girls. They just never quit."
BLACKFOOT — An Eastern Division Championship was on the line Saturday afternoon as the 5-1 and top seeded Bingham United Silverbacks welcomed the Portneuf Honeybadgers to town. The visiting Honeybadgers proved to be a very strong team indeed as they avenged an earlier season loss to the Silverbacks by shocking Bingham United on their home field by the final tally of 20-10.
IDAHO FALLS — The Blackfoot Lady Broncos closed out the regular season on Thursday evening as they swept Rigby 10-3 and 11-0 to complete the undefeated conference slate. "It's great to come out and accomplish an undefeated regular season and since we are the top seed we get a first round bye which will give us a chance to rest up and heal up a couple of our players," Blackfoot head coach Matt Chavez said.
Morning News — Leslie Mielke
A group of women from the Harvest Family Christian Church who have a vision to help those in need were inspired to start the 'Harvest Free Gift Store' inside the country church in the Groveland area. Lisha Lee, the group's ministry leader, said the store has been open since October and has already provided furniture, appliances, clothing and other household goods to many families in the community who really needed the items.
BLACKFOOT — The final score of Wednesday's High Country Conference baseball game between the Blackfoot Broncos and the Bonneville Bees looks lopsided. In fact, the game itself was much tighter than the score indicates and unfortunately for the large Blackfoot crowd in attendance for Blackfoot's senior night, it was the visiting Bees who emerged on top with a 16-5 victory.
FIRTH — U.S. News & World Report reviewed 21,035 U.S. public high schools; 46 Idaho schools made the rankings. In Idaho, Firth High School was ranked 4th in the U.S. News Best High Schools 2013. When Firth School District Superintendent Sid Tubbs learned about the ranking, he was surprised. "They used our numbers," he said. "We checked. "We know we have people who work hard and kids who do well," said Tubbs. "We know we have a good school." Nationally, Firth was ranked 937. Firth ranks in the top 4.45 percent of high schools in the nation.

Teenagers who have an unhealthy dependence on the Internet are almost twice as likely to become depressed as other teens, giving parents yet another good reason to limit kids' screen time. That's the news from a study in Pediatrics, which tracked the Internet use of teenagers in China, where "Internet addiction" is considered a serious and growing problem.
The researchers tracked 1,041 teenagers, finding out how much they used the Internet and whether that use was unhealthy. They used surveys similar to those used with pathological gamblers. A typical question asked: "How often do you feel depressed, moody, or nervous when you are offline, which goes away once you are back online?" The vast majority of the teens, 94 percent, weren't pathological Internet users. But 6 percent were considered moderately at risk. Nine months later, those students were one-and-a-half times more likely to have symptoms of clinical depression than teens who were less dependent on the Internet, though they had not been depressed before.
Depression is common among teenagers; each year, an estimated 2 million teens and preteens develop clinical depression, and last year the federal government recommended that all teenagers be screened for depression. So parents may want to note the link between "Internet addiction" and depression, and keep a closer eye on children who depend on screen time as a pacifier or mood stabilizer. A recent study also found a correlation between video game use and ADHD. Like the "Internet addiction" study, no causal link has been proven, but one-third of children exceed the two hours of daily TV and computer screen time recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Setting limits on screen time— and enforcing them—can really help.
"Think of media as a stranger being invited into your home to teach your kids for seven hours a day," says Victor Strasburger, a pediatrician who studies the effects of media violence and is chief of the division of adolescent medicine at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. "Your kids could be learning 'good' things or potentially harmful things, or a combination of both." His advice: Stick to the AAP's guidelines on screen time; keep TV sets and Internet connections out of children's bedrooms; and no screen time for children under age 2.

http://www.cs.uni.edu/~gray/gig-over-copper/ Gigabit Over Copper Evaluation DRAFT Prepared by Anthony Betz and Paul Gray April 2, 2002 University of Northern Iowa Department of Computer Science Cedar Falls, IA 50614 Given the relatively low cost, backwards-compatibility, and widely-availability solutions for gigabit over copper network interfaces, the migration to commodity gigabit networks has begun. Copper-based gigabit solutions are now providing an alternative to the often more expensive fiber-based network solutions that are typically integrated in high performance environments such as today's tightly-coupled cluster systems. But how do these cards compare with their fiber based counterparts? Are the Linux-based drivers ready for prime-time? The intent of this paper is to provide an extensive comparison of the various Gigabit over copper network interface cards available. Since performance is based on numerous factors such as bus architecture and the network protocol being used, these are the two main subjects of our investigation. Our bandwidth benchmarks look at sustained throughput using TCP. While other communication protocols are available, indeed preferred, for high- performance computing, TCP-based benchmarks provide an immediate insight into the expected performance of the cards. With PCI-X coming into the marketplace in more and more motherboards as well as the multitude of systems with more traditional 32-bit PCI subsystems, numerous cards are available for today's 64bit and 32bit computer systems. The 64bit cards tested were as follows: Syskonnect SK9821, Syskonnect SK9D21, Asante Giganix, Ark Soho-GA2000T, 3Com 3c996BT and Intel's E1000 XT. The 32bit cards were Ark Soho-GA2500T, D-Link DGE500T. Comparisons for the various cards were made with respect to operation in alternate bus configurations and varied maximum transmission unit (MTU) sizes of TCP frames (jumbo frames). Results were gathered using Netpipe 2.4. By using Netpipe the peak sustained throughput would be provided as well as the transfer rate for varying packet sizes. Note: All cards were tested at 1500, 3000, 4000, and 6000 values for the TCP MTU size. The drivers for the cards were not modified. Cards based upon the dp83820 chipset were limited to 6000MTU due to driver defaults. All other cards were tested through 9000MTU. [results too voluminous to post]

New Sony NEX-5n review and news roundup
Imaging Resource (Click here) posted a full Sony NEX-5n review: "Sony NEX-5N is unquestionably a more feasible take-anywhere camera than pretty-much any SLR camera, and its combination of image quality and feature set make it fairly easy for me to look past the occasional wrinkle here or there. More often than not, I found myself grabbing the NEX-5N from our well-stocked shelf when I left the office for a little photographic R&R. That, in my book, is the mark of a camera worth owning, and for that reason the Sony NEX-5N earns a clear Dave's Pick"
The NEX-5n is a terrific camera and you already know that I like it a lot. And I am not the only one. Every Amazon ranking shows how the NEX-5n is selling well. Click on the links to see the mirrorless chart for every country: Ranking in USA (Pos 4), Ranking in UK (Pos 3), Ranking in France (Pos 2), Ranking in Germany (Pos 1!).
And I guess the NEX-7 would have done even better if there wouldn't be that delay! Looking forward to January-February when the camera will be finally in Stock!
One more thing: I heard that the Stock of NEX-5n cameras is limited. I hope it will not run out of Stock soon. Check the availability at Amazon, B&H, Adorama, J&R, eBay.
Could you explain why you think the built-in flash on the 7 is a drawback? Thanks.
How about you enlighten us with a true photographers reason why a built in flash in a draw back.
I love the built in flash on the Sony bodies, it's the gateway to wireless flash control and it works well within it's limitations. Wireless and high speed sync is just impressive regardless.
I love how all you gadget freaks try to rationalize NEX7 drawbacks as if they were features. I any of you were photographers, you wouldn't have to ask an idiotic question like "why is built in flash a drawback".
Sony products are very good but Sony as a company sucks. I find that it just disrespects its customers who as good suckers take all the bs in. If a corporation gives a release date for a product, it should meet this dateline and, if it cannnot meet this dateline, at least give an explanation as a show of consideration with its customers. Instead, Sony has us going in circles discussing while Sony is disrespecting us. I predict that the NEX 7 will not come out. Why? Because it missed its economic time, that is, the christmas shopping 2011. When is the NEX 7 comimg out? In January? February? By the time it will be in the market, other producers will have raised to the challenge and have new models. The NEX 7 is doomed to fail.
Why is the flash a drawback?
The OLED EVF is now in stock at the Sonystore in the USA.
It's only fair if you get it too then. Anyway, enjoy..
We simply love the 5n….so much so that my parents each bought one for them selves…….
double post.
ISO performance is not that far off and when scaled down it's pretty much the same. Also, it doesn't make any sense to say that extra resolution isn't practical. It can be very practical, as well as it can be a drawback.
About the price, you conveniently omitted the EVF and additional controls. These things cost money. -
Why is it that people try to tell others that features such as extra resolution is not practical? Not practical for YOU maybe!
Why would NEX7 be any better? It has worse ISO noise and it's much more expensive (twice!). Built in flash is not a bonus but a drawback, and the extra resolution is not practical anyway (how often do any of you print larger than 1m wide images?)
And before anyone says it,,,Clicking is gone on new models.
I have recently bought a click free 5n from amazon uk
Well, I clicked on the US-link, and it is at this moment one kit is the first, one kit is the second one third kit is the third. or am I mistaken? there was a nikon on the forth so there are other cameras in the list.

Abstract: Library Automation refers to the use of computers to serve the needs of library users. The operations of a library get a quantum jump with the introductions of computers. The computers help to provide fast and reliable access to the resources available in the library as well as elsewhere. The application of computers in the library operations avoids repetitive jobs and saves lot of labour, time, speeds up operations, increases use of library resources. Computers are not only used as a tool for processing the data, but also for data storage and accessing.

Abstract: In the present society, information is treated as one of the most valuable resources and its importance has increased manifold in the networked digital environment. No doubt, the developments in the field of IT have facilitated the sharing of information from one knowledge domain to another, but the difference in terminologies acts as communication barrier and impedes the free flow of information. Various terminological and lexical databases have been developed to help the professionals; however, the problem of data interchange/ exchange across different platforms still persists.

Abstract: The advent of the World Wide Web and digitisation of publications have resulted in the proliferation of a vast amount and format of content types. Initiatives such as cyber infrastructure recommended by the NSF foundation provide specifications for accessing data, information support the emerging collaborative processes within sciences and includes several components relevant for libraries. Libraries are rapidly changing and expanding to web-based delivery of content and related access services in order to conform to the changing information seeking methods and expectations of their users. Developing an understanding of changing user demands and the basic building blocks of a new architecture will be a challenge in our current library environment. Presently our current technical systems are organized around data (e.g. the catalogue, vendor-based indexes and publishers) or services (e. g. interlibrary-loan, circulation and reference). One approach is to design multitired architectures that include an integration layer providing programme level services for user level applications such as a portal. Web portals are seen as positive potential frameworks for achieving order out of chaos. The library portal is one approach to organize information resources and services in a way that supports the users' needs. However, the library portal will not be the only starting point for access to the library. The future of library websites in fact lies in integration of different effective information management and need based service modules. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1152 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Metadata research drastically improved the resource discovery mechanism in accessing information from a large distributed environment. Even technological capabilities permit multiple metadata schemas for standardizing the structure and content of indexing information towards an efficient resource discovery. This paper presents the issues on standard metadata in order to pursue digital repositories and dynamic web pages. It proposes various means of harvesting metadata using optimum standards and protocols. It also enumerates inherent mechanisms for metadata harvesting in DSpace enabled repositories through various harvesting tools; and evaluates XML as current popular choice for metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH) and exchange. System support to multiple metadata formats in DSpace has been discussed thoroughly. Finally it recognizes interoperability and extensibility functions that are being realized increasingly towards a long-term management and preservation of digital objects. However the glimpses of metadata production tools (newer & developed) could accelerate the digital repository initiatives with an increasing popularity of open access movement in real world.

Abstract: The manpower is very important aspect in implementing an automated system/computerisation in the library and establishing a digital library for it. The librarian and other library staff play an important role in the process of establishing digital library, networking of digital libraries for information sharing. During the implementation of extending digital library activities, librarian should ensure a proper coordination of the activities in the library. Library professionals should be aware of handling modern technology and electronic gadgets. Therefore technology to awareness of library professionals and their participation in the library automation, networking and digitisation project is important for successful installation of modern system or in organising IT based digital library services. It is equally important that library professionals & staff should have computer knowledge and professional experience. Their involvement in the development of modern digital system is essential for successful implementation. The present paper highlights the concept of manpower planning, definition of human resource development, need of human resource and manpower planning for library activities, continuing education programme (CEP) for LIS professionals, role of various national level library organisations (both Government and associations) for imparting IT training for running modern libraries in network and digital environment. It also highlights the importance of manpower planning and need of trained workforce for implementing the computerised library and information services for the end users. The status of various categories of library professionals, other administrative staff working in the library, the requirement of IT training for them, role of various agencies imparting training to the LIS professionals & other staff are described in brief.

Abstract: Handwriting has continued to persist as a means of communication and recording information in day-to-day life even with the introduction of new technologies. Handwriting is a skill that is personal to individuals. Recognition of characters is an important area in machine learning. Widespread acceptance of digital computers seemingly challenges the future of handwriting. However, in numerous situations, a pen together with paper or a small notepad is much more convenient than a keyboard. Handwriting data is converted to digital form either by scanning the writing on paper or by writing with a special pen on an electronic surface such as a digitizer combined with a liquid crystal display. The two approaches are distinguished as offline and online handwriting respectively. It is necessary to perform several document analysis operations prior to recognizing text in scanned documents. This paper presents detailed analysis of various preprocessing operations performed prior to recognition of Tamil handwritten characters and the results are shown.

Abstract: Libraries, archives, and museums play a critical role in organizing, preserving, and providing access to the cultural and historical resources of society. Digital technologies are used increasingly for information production, distribution, and storage. The institutions that have traditionally assumed responsibility for preserving information face technical, organizational, resource, and legal challenges in taking on the preservation of digital holdings. Maintenance will be critical to digital libraries; especially those who promote broad access to diverse, informal materials. If ignored, maintenance issues within the digital library, especially those relating to its materials will threaten its usefulness and even its long-term viability. We perceive the maintenance problem to be both technical and institutional, and this paper considers the preservation and maintenance of the digital library. The paper examines collection maintenance from several vantage points, including software architecture and the type of collection. The paper ends with an examination of potential technical solutions.

Abstract: Now-a-days, while a mature system of preservation and conservation (PAC) technology and methodology exists world wide to achieve the systematic PAC of world's cultural heritage, the PAC programs of Bangladesh National Archives (the custodian of Bangladesh Government's records) have excluded the same provisions to sustain the usable life of it's resources. In this circumstance, this study seeks to articulate the current PAC status of archives in Bangladesh National Archives, and examine the barriers that have hindered the development of fullfledged PAC program for them. Finally some recommendations have been put forward at the consideration of Bangladesh National Archives so that it can employ the minimum technologies for proper care of its resources and become gradually able to adopt latest technologies for the preservation of manual archives together with the development of a national digital repository of archives.

This was my first ever marathon and I have nothing to compare it too, but it was overall a great Experience. Fist of all I finished, second in under 4 hours and third in good shape. The course was fairly hilly, but not more so than my training routes. I liked the overall route, even though the couple of steeper hills halfway did bite a little. The water stations were spaced out nicely and the cheering sections did a nice job: The one around the 12 mile mark I could hear a few miles out. There weren't a whole lot of spectators, but I commend those that were out since it ended up a cold cloudy day and they were very cheerful. Police was out in force and did a great job of handling traffic. I did not care for the choice of flavor of the gels, but I did try them the week before and decided to carry my own. I've already decided to run another this spring and thinking of running High Point again in the fall.
This was my first NC marathon. The hills, though advertised as challenging, were not as bad as one would think (they never are!). They were rolling, but overall it was fine. I actually had a PR in this. Plenty of organization before and after the race, and the goody bag had plenty in it. I had hoped for more of a technical running shirt, rather than cotton. Plus the choice in color (black), and the fact that its long-sleeve makes that shirt one that I won't be wearing during summer months. Overall, I enjoyed it and will definitely come back. Not much crowd support, but that can be expected as the race goes WAY out into the more rural areas. The ones that were there were quite cheerful and helped you along. Police did great job not getting us run over, too. Good job!!
This was a fun course where there weren't a ton of spectators, but the ones who were there were awesome. This was my first marathon where I had some dehydration issues. The post-race medical tent was fantastic and had me on my way very quickly. The volunteers along the course were very encouraging, and the police personnel were superb. I strongly recommend this race if you like a rolling course (like I do) where everyone is friendly. The prizes for the top 3 finishers were fantastic... thanks!
I think this race had potential to be much larger in 2010, but the date of the race was wrong on multiple websites, causing lots of runner miscommunication and trust with the race committee. Also promised a few months ago was the availability of pacers to help us runners reach our race goals. I missed qualifying for Boston by less than 2 minutes and had very little motivation and support on the course. I think for 2011 I will wait to see if pace groups will be offered and see if the race date is accurate before I pay my dues. Overall, not a bad effort by the race committee, just a lot of miscommunication to the runners like myself who ran.
The hills definitely affected my result - I think by at least 10 minutes - and my quads are very sore. The organization and volunteers were great, and much of the course was nice to look at - but hilly, especially what felt like the two or three big hills in the last fou miles.
This was my first marathon in High Point. The organization was perfect - especially the police support. Some of them were even cheering us on. It was a very great event in a great venue. I highly recommend Sumela Deli on Main St. - awesome Greek and Italian food.
This was my second marathon and I felt it was a wonderful course with challenging long hills throughout. The day reached the 70's so between that and my bad intake of fluids I struggled. Thankfully the aid stations became more frequent (mile) after the 20 mile mark and I was able to rehydrate. Great water stations, great volunteers, great townspeople turnout, great goody bag, great cold wet paper towel at the finish. I would certainly do the race again but may opt for a new more local to me alternative next year.
Yes, the lines to the porta-potties were a little long at the start, but if you're creative, this shouldn't be too much of a problem. The course is quite interesting, with lots of long, gradual hills, and at least one short, steep one. After you leave downtown High Point, it becomes very rural, very quickly. Out in the country the roads were open, but there was very little traffic. Plenty of free beer at the end made for a very enjoyable morning out. It would've been nice if age-group prizes went more than one deep, but overall, I'm psyched to finally have a good marathon in the Triad.
I ran the marathon with B.J. and would say exactly the same. I enjoyed the course, which was moderately hilly. Nothing extreme, but a lot of long, gentle uphills and downhills - there were very few truly flat sections of the course. I enjoyed running through pretty neighborhoods and past/through the scenic campus of High Point University. For a first-time visitor to the town, the race really took you around it, from downtown, through residential areas, by the university, and out into farmland after 10 miles or so. I liked the size of the field, which was enough that we were never running alone, but after a few miles weren't too crowded. The plastic cups were a bit annoying (I had one crack and spill Gatorade on me as I ran and tried to drink) but the aid stations were well stocked with water, Gatorade, and energy gels - and the volunteers were great! I would perhaps suggest a few more porta-potties at the start. I didn't encounter a line, but it looked like a pretty big one had formed for the 15 or so toilets about 15 minutes before the gun. Overall, though, a great race! I would definitely run it again in the future.
This was a great marathon. It was my second and there were hills, but a lot was downhill, especially in the first half. The big overpass hill was a surprise at mile 23, but other than that, the course was reasonable for central NC. The volunteers were AMAZING and the support of the High Point Police was outstanding. Great aid stations, and we ran several beautiful and peaceful miles out in the country. I had a lot of fun and highly recommend this marathon. They do need more porta-potties at the start - like 3 or 4 times as many.

The ARCTIC SOUND S111 is the ultra portable speaker system that entertains you anywhere. It either replaces mediocre notebook speakers or connects to an MP3-player for the audiophile on the go.
Filter Results |
Not badPros: Compact and stylish. Cons: Not as loud as I hoped. Other Thoughts: Wanted something a bit louder than the ones on my 20" lcd. The sound is nice, though. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good Sound, Great ValuePros: These small 7cm (2 3/4 inch) cubes provide very good sound. Of course, we are not talking about audiophile level sound, but surprisingly good sound for the size and price. I shopped around quite a bit in stores before buying these, and am completely satisfied with them. Cons: When the USB power cord for these speakers was plugged into any of my desktop's USB sockets, there was an unacceptable intermittent buzzing tone at the frequency of about middle C on the piano. A .1 amp USB wall charger worked well at low volume but cut out at high volume with a lot of horrible noise. An inexpensive, generic 2 amp USB wall charger/ power supply plugged into a Monster brand line conditioner allowed the speakers to work without any hum or buzz. Other Thoughts: If I was using these speakers as portable speakers for a laptop, I would get something to carry them in so that the exposed speaker cones would not be damaged. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Poor volumePros: Small Cons: Very low thresh hold for volume Other Thoughts: At a relativity low volume, (softer than my cell phone) the speakers make a loud popping sound. When they work, sound is ok for the price. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great, if onlyPros: I like just about everything about these speakers for the price. And I'd give these 5 eggs, if only they weren't defective. Cons: The Right speaker flickers from working fine, to static, to no sound at all. I'll have to assume that I was incredibly unlucky and happened to get a defective pair. it happens. Other Thoughts: The most discouraging thing about this obvious defect is now having to ship back these broken speakers that were sent to me BROKEN, at my cost. Then they verify for 4 days, then they send me my replacement speakers... 2 weeks later, I'll have spent $25 total on speakers I ordered (and needed) 3 weeks prior. :( 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Sound DecentPros: The sound quality is decent. Cons: I am quite disappointed that they do not charge and have to be connected to a power source in order to play. The cords are obnoxious because they are short and connect to each other which makes them less than mobile. Additionally the volume is not very capable. Tried to share something via Ipod in the car while moving 70 mph in a reasonably quiet car and the volume was too low. Other Thoughts: These offer a good value if you are looking for speakers with decent quality at an affordable price and you do not care about mobility. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Fabulous for their pricePros: Excellent sound for their size, and decent bass (tested some Tony Bennett and LMFAO). They obviously don't get -really- loud, but louder than I expected, using my Atrix phone for testing. Cons: I was not prepared for their unrelenting cuteness. Like, baby subwoofers. I suppose better noise suppression would be nice, when using very noisy USB ports/adapters, but given the price, I can't complain. See details below. Other Thoughts: I got these specifically to replace the built-in audio of a small LCD I'm giving to my parents to replace their old kitchen CRT. The LCD has a USB port, powered only when the TV is on, but unfortunately there is a lot of ground loop feedback noise using that port for power; same issue with the built-in speakers (headphones do not exhibit this on the audio-out port). The audio output level is fixed, so the S111 has to be adjusted. The loudest output is...sufficient; not as loud as using my smartphone with it. Device output level is something to think about; the S111's are fairly loud with my phone, but just loud enough with the TV. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great for the price and sizePros: Sound is surprisingly crisp and clear. Sounds better than my mid level headphones and comparable to a more expensive 2.1 speaker set I have. They also sound way better and are roughly the same size as the built in speakers in an eMac, if you've ever used one of those. Cons: While they do have some bass, it isn't going to nearly as big as a 2.1 system for the obvious reason that this isn't a 2.1 system and thus don't have a sub. However, this almost doubles back around to a pro if you don't want a lot of bass so it's harder to bother other people in your house. Other Thoughts: While the volume dial is on the back, you can get away with setting it in the middle and leaving it alone for the most part. These are designed more for computers after all, so you can just use your computer's built in volume adjuster. Not really a pro or a con IMO. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great little speakersPros: Plug them in and they work. They sound good for a pair of USB powered speakers that cost me $17.00 delivered to my door. Cons: No flashing lights. Other Thoughts: They are actually pretty loud. Exactly what I was looking for. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: -The sound quality for the price range is great! I hadn't looked at the frequency response when purchasing these for my mother so I was happily surprised to hear how good they sounded. Cons: -The volume dial is on the back. Surely there is enough room for a smaller one on the front. I took off an egg for this because it is an easily avoidable design flaw that could prove to be annoying to the user. Did you find this review helpful? |

NORTH ADAMS -- The city will begin searching for a permanent part-time municipal planner as it embarks on the last leg of its North Adams Vision 2030 master planning sessions.
The next planning workshop, focusing on conservation and recreation, will be held Thursday, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at 49 Main St.
"We need a permanent part-time planner to update our antiquated zoning bylaws and ordinances and align them with our new master plan," Community Development Director Michael Nuvallie said Monday during a discussion about the master planning process. "We need someone not only to do the updates, but also to help ensure the master plan gets carried out. The Planning Board is the entity that will do this, but we need that in-house liaison."
Mayor Richard J. Alcombright said the position will be advertised in the next 30 to 60 days, with about $20,000 of the position's salary already earmarked in the budget and the remaining funds being culled from the city's federal Community Development Block Grant's (CDBG) administrative line item.
"We're definitely at the point where we need to have a planner onboard," Alcombright said. "Mike can oversee the master plan, but his responsibilities, just in regards to writing and carrying the CDBG, make it impossible for him to take this on too. With the commitment we've made to this planning process, we need to have a person in place or we're setting ourselves up to put this master plan on a shelf."
Nuvallie added that the last time the city had a municipal planner was in the 1970s, around the last time the city had a master plan.
Hiring a part-time planner now would allow for the individual to become part of the master planning process, he said.
The planning process continues Thursday, with Berkshire Regional Planning Commission Senior Planner Amy Kacala facilitating a workshop aimed at identifying the city's recreational needs, as well as generating a list of recreational opportunities residents know of, but may not be so apparent to visitors.
"We really want to hear from a good cross-section of the community," Kacala said. "We've sent home fliers with children at all of the city's schools and have created this session so that people don't have to stay for the whole meeting. We want to know what the city has and what residents would like to see."
While the extension of the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail into the city, the Berkshire Scenic Railway and the planning of the Mohawk-Mahican Bike Path along Route 2 have generated a lot of interest from residents, Alcombright said the city is looking to identify other hidden recreational gems.
"We have a lot of trails and recreational amenities that you wouldn't know about if you're not from the city," he said. "We want to generate ideas of how do we better our trails and get better exposure for our trailheads. We want to talk about how we get the word out about them to visitors."
One example, the mayor said, is the rising popularity of an access road off of Brown Street that residents have begun to use to gain access to a 3/4 mile stretch of trail along the Hoosic River.
"We also need to begin thinking globally about things, like how to make our streets more than car-friendly," Alcombright said.
"We need to think about making them bike- and pedestrian-friendly in the future."

Flu germs: How long can they live outside the body?
How long do cold and flu germs stay alive after infected people cough and sneeze all over everything?
from James M. Steckelberg, M.D.
It varies, depending partly on where the germ-laden droplets fall. Experiments with specific cold and flu germs have shown potential survival times ranging from a few minutes to 48 hours or more. How long such germs remain capable of infecting you in day-to-day life is harder to say.
Germs generally remain active longer on stainless steel, plastic and similar hard surfaces than on fabric and other soft surfaces. Other factors, such as the amount of virus deposited on a surface and the temperature and humidity of the environment, also have effects on how long cold and flu germs stay active outside the body.
It's easy to catch the flu or a cold from rubbing your nose after handling an object an infected person sneezed on a few moments ago. But personal contact with an infected person — a handshake, for example — is the most common way these germs spread.
The best way to avoid becoming infected with a cold or flu virus is to wash your hands frequently with soap and water or with an alcohol-based sanitizer. Also avoid rubbing your eyes or biting your nails. Most importantly — get a flu vaccine every year.
