Dual-graphics auto switching
More specifically, the Mac maker has up and running in its labs several next-generation MacBook Pros that can switch between their integrated and discrete graphics processors automatically, according to people familiar with the matter.
This differs from the company's existing MacBook Pro lineup, which requires users to manually toggle between an integrated Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics core and the more powerful 9600M GT discrete processor by first making a selection in their Mac's Energy Saver system preference pane, then logging out and back in for the change to take effect (as shown below).
While those privy to Apple's plans could not say with complete certainty that the new technology would qualify for inclusion in the most immediate update to the MacBook Pro family, they do believe that's indeed the Cupertino-based company's plans. The current chipset situation Apple faces across its notebook lines also lends support to these claims.
Chipset setback
A year and a half ago, Apple made a radical decision to jettison Intel's supporting chipsets from its MacBook line in favor of cutting-edge chipset technology from Nvidia, one which works to support the systems' primary Intel CPU while bundling a GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor supporting better battery life and up to five times faster graphics performance. MacBook Pros received similar treatment, with the addition of a secondary, more powerful Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT discrete graphics processor for higher performance operations.
The move threatened Intel's chipset business, prompting the chip maker to refuse Nvidia a licensing extension to develop rival chipsets for its latest-generation Nehalem architecture. Nehalem embodies the new Core i5 and Core i7 processors Apple and the broader industry are widely expected to use (1, 2) to power their forthcoming notebook refreshes, thereby requiring PC manufacturers like Apple to once again rely on proprietary Intel chipsets and their integrated graphics processors.
For its part, Nvidia disputed Intel's claim, saying it believed its license with Intel extended to the Nehalem architecture. In an effort to hold its ground, Intel took the matter to the courts, filing a lawsuit against the graphics chip maker to halt its development of compatible chipsets for Nehalem and future Intel architectures. These actions caused the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to step in last December with a lawsuit of its own against Intel, accusing the company of using its leverage in the market to stifle competition.
The ongoing high-tech spat has brought Nvidia's fledgeling chipset business to screeching halt, hindering Apple's future notebook designs in the process, according to people familiar with the matter. They say these unexpected complications may be a cause of blame for the aging status of the existing MacBook Pro line, which hasn't seen a significant update in over 16 months -- well beyond its average.
Still, Nvidia hasn't been standing idle and as recently as this month introduced a new technology called Optimus [white paper PDF] to help secure its footprint in notebook designs across the industry. It's also strikingly similar to the description of the technology said to be making its way into next-generation MacBook Pros, which, given Apple's tight relationship with Nvidia, appears to be a bit more than a coincidence.
Specifically, Optimus was designed to work alongside Nehalem notebook designs that include an integrated Intel graphics processor in addition to a discrete Nvidia graphics chip, choosing the best of the two graphics processors for running a given application and automatically routing the workload to either the discrete Nvidia chip or Intel integrated graphics core to deliver the best performance while also providing optimal battery life.
"Just as a Hybrid car chooses between the gas-powered and electric car engine on-the-fly and uses the most appropriate engine, Nvidia Optimus technology does the same thing for graphics processors," Nvidia explains. "Optimus Technology instantly directs the workload through the most efficient processor for the job, extending battery life by up to 2 times compared to similarly configured systems equipped with discrete graphics processors."

Neuromuscular Centre Nijmegen, Department of Neurology, 935, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, P.O. Box 9101, 6500 HB Nijmegen, The Netherlands; Institute for Fundamental and Clinical Human Movement Sciences, The Netherlands.
The Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders. Skeletal muscle features belong to the clinical criteria of EDS and are generally interpreted to result from increased tendon distensibility or exercise avoidance. However, muscle function in EDS has hardly been investigated as such. We performed a pilot study consisting of clinical investigations, electromyography, muscle ultrasound, muscle biopsy, and quantitative muscle function tests on two EDS patients with deficiency of tenascin-X. Quantitative muscle function proved severely reduced despite normal findings on electromyography and muscle biopsy. These findings dispute the interpretation of increased tendon distensibility. We hypothesize that alterations in the extracellular matrix modify myofascial force transmission and thus influence muscle function in EDS.

She still put them together with her capable hands, cut through the pillowy dough with an antique cutter given to her by her mother, and pulled the golden warmth from the oven to our oohs and ahhs. I remember standing beside her in the kitchen one day, when I was about seven or eight, and watching her hands make biscuits. They seemed so sure, so reassuring. I wondered if I would ever be that strong.
Now, I look down at my hands, almost exact replicas of my mother's at my age. And I wonder if, a few years from now, when I am making gluten-free biscuits inspired by the Raffi song, Little Bean will look at my hands and wonder what hers will look like when she is an adult.
I found this week that I had to create a gluten-free recipe that worked for me. The first two years of living gluten-free, I didn't really care that much about baked goods. But now that our darling, hilarious daughter is here, I realize I want to make her biscuits some evenings and have her ooh and ahh at the warmth I am pulling out of the oven with my hands.
Of course, the only problem with baking biscuits in this house after hearing that song is that gluten-free biscuits simply don't rise the way that regular biscuits do. Why? No gluten. That doesn't mean they can't be darned fine, however.
The egg white takes the place of the protein gluten provides to a baked good. Lately, I've been finding that just a bit of egg white gives strength and structure to gluten-free goods.
I'm pleased with the softness of these biscuits, the fluffy center with air holes, and the crispness of the bottoms. They're a little bit pillowy, and a little bit crusty. Frankly, I'm glad I found the recipe I like, because I have to stop eating so many biscuits now.
8 biscuits
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup sweet rice flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons butter
1 egg white
3/4 cup buttermilk (give or take a bit)
1. Preheat the oven to 450°. Combine all the flours, the baking powder, and the salt. Stir them up well so they are one. Sift them into a large bowl.
2. Cut the butter into small pieces and drop them into the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender (also known as a pastry cutter), or two forks if you don't own the fancier tool, cut the butter into the flours. You should have a good blend, with the butter the size of small peas, by the end.
3. Froth up the egg white with a fork or small whisk. You are not looking to make meringue here. Simply whip some air and volume into the egg white. Pour the egg white and the buttermilk into the dry mixture. Stir them in slowly with a rubber spatula, taking care to not overwork the dough. When the liquids are incorporated into the flours, stop stirring. Bring it all together with your hands.
4. Drop small balls of the biscuit dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. (I prefer these biscuits small, about the size of a plum, to help the middles bake through.) Slide the tray into the oven.
5. Bake the biscuits for about 20 to 25 minutes. Test for your own version of doneness.

Panque marmoleado de Alisa
1 10-inch loafINGREDIENTS
1/2 pound unsalted butter, plus more to butter the pan
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Confectioners' sugar, optionalTO PREPARE
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter the sides and bottom of a loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper cut to fit.In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar and continue beating until well combined and fluffy, another 2 minutes. Pour in the vanilla and continue beating until well incorporated and smooth, about another minute.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Break the eggs into another bowl. Add half of the eggs and half of the sifted flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating on medium-low speed until well combined, scraping down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Repeat with the remaining eggs and flour.
Add the sour cream and continue beating until the mixture is smooth. Set the batter aside. In a small bowl, combine the hot water with the cocoa powder.
Pour half the cake batter into another bowl and fold in the cocoa-water mixture with a rubber spatula until thoroughly mixed.
Spread the "white" batter from the mixer bowl in the bottom of the loaf pan. Pour the chocolate batter on top, in a straight line down the center. Make a design with a knife or fork, so it will look "marbled."
Bake the cake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool. Invert the cooled cake onto a plate, remove the parchment paper, and invert again onto another plate.
Dust the top of the cake with confectioners' sugar, and it is ready to slice. To store, keep it covered.
The breakfast of your dreams, prepared by Pati and her sister Alisa. This episode includes both quick, simple dishes and ones meant for a deliciously messy morning feast.
These home-style dishes are a staple at the small restaurants known as "fondas" in Mexico — and delicious inspiration for busy cooks in American homes today. Make them once, and they'll become easy to make but special treats in your own kitchen.
Pastel de tres leches
Serves 10 to 12INGREDIENTS
Cake Ingredients:
9 eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flourSauce Ingredients:
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 12oz can evaporated milk
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extractFor the Topping:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugarTO PREPARE
Preheat the oven to 360 degrees. Butter a 9×13-inch pan, lining the bottom with a piece of parchment paper cut to fit the pan.Pour the egg whites into the bowl of your mixer and beat on medium-high speed for 4 to 5 minutes, or until they hold soft peaks. Slowly stir in the sugar and continue beating until they hold harder or stiffer peaks. Turn off the mixer and, with a spatula, move the egg white mixture into a large mixing bowl.
Rinse the mixer bowl and its whisk. Now, pour the egg yolks into the bowl and beat on medium-high speed for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until the yolks become creamy and puffy and their color has toned down to an almost cream color rather than a loud yellow. Stir in the vanilla and continue beating for another minute.
Pour the egg yolk mixture onto the egg white mixture and, with a spatula, in circular motions, combine them into a homogeneous single batter. Do so gently, trying not to lose too much volume gained from beaten egg whites. Fold in the flour, scraping the bowl with the spatula so that all the flour is well mixed.
Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and place into the oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. It can be a bit moist, but not wet. The top of the cake should be tanned or golden brown.
Once it cools down, turn it onto a platter. Remove parchment paper, cover the top with an upside-down platter and invert again. The platter should be large enough to hold the cake and the vanilla sauce you are about to prepare. Using a fork, or two, poke holes all over the cake so that it will better absorb the vanilla sauce.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the vanilla sauce over the cake. It may appear like too much sauce, but it will all be absorbed!
In the bowl of your mixer, whip up the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar on medium-high speed until the mixture holds up stiff peaks. Spread the whipped cream all over the already-wet cake and place it in the refrigerator. You can decorate the cake with berries or any other topping of your choice.
Pastel de chocolate de JujuINGREDIENTS
For the cake:
1 cup water
2/3 cup cocoa
1/2 cup unsalted butter or vegetable shortening
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs, preferably at room temperatureFor the Frosting:
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup vegetable shortening or butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup sprinkles, optionalTO PREPARE
To prepare the cake:
Grease a 9×13-inch cake pan with butter. Cover the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.In a large pot, over medium heat, pour the water, stir in the cocoa and add the butter. Let it heat for a few minutes, stirring now and then, until it all dissolves. Remove the pot from the heat.
In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder. In another, beat the eggs and combine them with the sour cream.
In turns, add a quarter of the flour mix and then a quarter of the sour cream mix at a time into the pot with the cocoa mixture; stir with a spatula, mixing all of the ingredients as you move along. Pour onto the greased cake pan and place in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out barely moist but not wet.
Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool a bit while you prepare the frosting.
To prepare the frosting:
In a saucepan, over medium heat, pour in the milk and the vanilla. Stir in the cocoa and add the butter. Heat and stir until everything is all dissolved and combined. Remove from the heat and stir in the confectioners' sugar. Thoroughly mix with a spatula and set aside.To assemble:
Run the tip of a knife around the edges of the cake. Turn the cake onto a platter and gently remove the parchment paper. Pour the still-warm frosting over the cake and gently spread it out with a spatula. If you wish, you may add sprinkles of your choice before the frosting hardens (NOTE: The cake is soft and moist the first couple days, then hardens like a brownie afterwards if left uncovered– perfect for packing in school lunches).
The same foods that parents pack into a hearty school lunch in Mexico are perfect for school lunchtime in America. These dishes are so tasty and filling, even grownups will want to take them to work…
Pastel de Almendras con Porto
Serves 12 to 15INGREDIENTS
2 cups slivered almonds
3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp Porto wine, optional or more to taste
1/4 cup apricot marmalade
1 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
1/4 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
Whipped cream, optional
Fruit of your choice, optional (I love it with berries!)TO PREPARE
Butter a round 9 to 10 inch spring-form pan, and cover the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the almond and sugar into a food processor. Pulse until finely ground. Crack the eggs on top of the mixture. Pulse until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and Porto wine, if you will use it. Drop in the butter chunks, and process until smooth and thoroughly combined.
Pour the batter into the cake pan. Place on a rack in the middle of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. The top will be nicely tanned, the cake will feel springy to the touch and a toothpick should come out clean if inserted in the cake.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Unmold the cake, invert onto a platter and remove the parchment paper. Invert the cake again onto another platter to have the top of the cake right side up.
In a small saucepan, mix the apricot glaze with the lime juice. Set over medium heat and simmer for a couple minutes, just until it dissolves.
With a brush, spread the apricot glaze on the outer circumference, about 1 to 2 inches in depth, on the top of the cake. Sprinkle the glazed area with the toasted almonds. You may serve the cake with whipped cream on the side, or on the top of the cake. Any fruit of your choice will be lovely too!
This cake is a treat. What's more, being flourless, it is perfect for both gluten free eaters and the coming Passover week.
As a fan of marzipan this cake feels like a fluffy, smooth, tasty piece of marzipan that has turned into a cake to become a bigger, lighter and longer lasting version of itself. It can be served as a dessert, with some whipped cream on top. If you are lucky to have some leftover, it makes for a decadent breakfast with a side of berries and some hot coffee or tea.
The recipe comes from the Mexican convent of San Jerónimo, where Mexico's most famous nun Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz was settled. It dates to the late 1600′s. Spanish nuns who came to help establish the different convents, had an indomitable sweet tooth, which paired with Mexico's exotic ingredients, made for some of the country's dearest and sweetest desserts. Centuries later, these desserts are staples in Mexico's kitchens.

Pastel de Tres Leches or Three Milk's Cake, is one of the most, if not the most popular and sold cake throughout Mexico. It is also amongst the most requested recipes I have been asked for after Pickled Jalapeños and Piggies cookies. So dear readers, I am sorry it has taken this long but here it goes! I promise to get to the other requests, which I love getting on your emails, as soon as possible.
Tres Leches is a sweet, practically wet, homey cake. Its base is a vanilla sponge cake, completely soaked in a sauce traditionally made with three kinds of milk: sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and regular milk. Some versions substitute regular milk with heavy cream. The cake will sometimes have a topping like fresh whipped cream, which I seriously consider of utmost necessity (!). Sometimes the topping turns out to be meringue or even chocolate ganache.
Growing up in Mexico City, there was a bakery called La Gran Via, which sold such delicious Tres Leches that even though it was far from home, we used to drive many Sundays to get one. These days La Gran Via has become a large chain store of bakeries… it has been years since I have eaten one of their cakes. This recipe, is as close as I get to my nostalgic memories.

It seems that when it comes to birthdays and cakes, most of us grown ups are like little kids too. So this year, I planned my husbands' cake with a little help from my three young boys.
The night before, as I tucked them in bed, we talked about making an irresistible I-want-to-jump-into-that-cake kind of cake. It had to be something that could WOW him away and could also feel yummy and soft when they dipped his face in it (yep! that was their plan).
This talk led me, once again, to tell the boys stories about cakes from my childhood. Most of those cakes came from Sanborns', a chain of stores that sells almost anything you can imagine: books, DVD's, make-up, electronics, luggage, candies, the best ever chocolate covered raisins, marshmallows and toys. It also has great coffee-shop style restaurants with some of my favorite molletes and enchiladas. Not to forget its perfumeries and pharmacies. It is a serious knock out one-stop-shop. But most importantly, it was, and may still be, one of the most popular places to get a birthday cake.
One of the cakes that left me with a permanent impression went something like this: A couple layers of fluffy and moist vanilla cake, a foamy and soft meringue filling paired with old fashioned strawberry jam and pecans, the same soft meringue layered all over the top, some more pecans and whatever decorations you fancied.
That cake, by itself, made a party happen. It was a creation worthy of its own celebration.

Laura is fast becoming a popular presenter on our television screens! As well as being one of the presenters of Channel 4's award winning show 'A Place in the Sun', she has a brand new show 'Beat my Build', airing on Channel 4 in November this year. In June 2013 Laura filmed her 4th series of the action, adventure show 'Fort Boyard Ultimate Challenge' for ITV - the previous three series have aired in the UK, USA and throughout Europe. Laura also regularly presents for 'Daybreak', out and about on location fronting some of their LIVE OB's.
Laura is never one to shy away from a challenge. She has been a keen skier and snowboarder from a very early age and is a real adrenaline junkie who has sky dived from 14000ft! In 2011, she was chosen as one of the 16 celebrities to participate in ITV1's flagship show 'Dancing on Ice' and soon captured the audience with her fun and friendly personality, sheer determination and lust for speed and danger. After 12 gruelling weeks, she was crowned Runner Up. Following her success she was invited to brave the 'Big Red Balls' in Argentina and appeared in a Winter special of 'Total Wipeout'.
Prior to working as a presenter, Laura spent 4 years working behind the scenes as an Assistant Floor Manager. She got her first break in front of the camera in 2004, aptly cast as 'Melody' (with a love of music), in CITV's 'Fun Song Factory'. In 2006 she went on to become the female face of the kids channel Nickelodeon and covered many red carpet events and press junkets interviewing the likes of David De Rothschild, Gwen Stefani, Queen Latifah, Maroon 5 and Steven Spielberg. Laura also presented and wrote Nick Jnr's popular morning show 'Wake up World', she co-hosted 'Staraoke' for Cartoon Network, and was a guest presenter on GMTV's weekend show 'Toonattik'.
Laura does a great deal of charity work and is an Ambassador for 'REACH' The Association for Children with Upper Limb Deficiency, 'Wellchild' and also supports 'When you Wish Upon a Star' and 'The Children's Trust Tadworth'.
Laura is pretty experienced when it comes to property renovation and she loves interior design. She bought her first property at 19 years old (which was entirely self funded), and has been buying and renovating ever since. She is happy to 'muck in' on a building site, not just make tea for her team! And, with a passion for travel she has seen many parts of the world including most of Europe, East and West America, India, North Africa, UAE, Cuba, Maldives, Mauritus, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Hong Kong, Australia, Fiji, Iceland and a fair bit of the Carribean.
As a keen writer, Laura regularly writes for 'A Place in the Sun' magazine and also reviews hotels for national publications. At the end of June 2013 she joined Hello Magazine as a 'Celebrity Blogger'.

[QUOTE=ottilie;1802836]Found it! I kind of lost my taste for Arden when I was told it was unisex, is that silly?
I do know a guy named Arden, but I think as a mn, it is still lovely for a girl. The combo of Daphne Hespera Beatrice flows better though, but if you don't care about flow, Daphne Hespera Arden is still really nice. Have you considered Avon as a mn? As in Stratford upon Avon?
Your Rosalind combo is still my fave.
I love Zenobia, but it's just a lotta name as a first. I like your first Zenobia combo best though. I would like it in the middle better. Same goes with Fiammetta, but I do adore Etta. A nn for Zenobia that I like is Bee, but I love Bea for Beatrice, so that's why I would use Bee.
Best of luck choosing THE name and with the baby and wedding planning! Whew!Last edited by niteowl13; March 8th, 2013 at 08:34 PM.

Rosalind nn Roo would be adorable!
I'm torn on your Zenobia combos-- on the one hand, I adore Viola. On the other, I adore Beatrice too, and I think the Beatrice combo flows better.
Of the Shakespeare characters in your combos, I like Viola and Rosalind best! Illyria is a good connection, too. Gotta love Twelfth Night.Gwen: Film student, bookworm, and bad influence.

I love this - would never have come across it if it didn't come in my sample box. Thank you! I purchased it and use it all the time. It's my favorite everyday scent.
I recieved a sample and I loved it, I was going to order it when I was shocked at how much it was. This scent is uniquely amazing in my opinion. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. I'll probably never get it because of the price. : /
Didn't care for this scent. Nothing very unique or special about this perfume. Floral scent was a bit too strong for me.
this perfume smells amazing. a little bit goes a very long way. the price for a full sized bottle is a bit much though that i would probably never buy the bottle at that price
This product is either one you will love or dislike. It is definitely not for everyone. I would suggest testing it out before buying.
This is one of those perfumes that is not for everybody and it smells totally different on your skin. coming from the bottle it smells bad but once it mixes with your chemistry it smells awesome! most people just throw it away as soon as they smell it. you have to give it a chance because it smells so much different.
When I first put this on, I wasn't sure if I liked it. However, as the day wore on, it really grew on me. It is musky but does not feel like an old lady perfume. It also continues to smell good throughout the day. My teenage daughters commented on it and liked it and have used it too.
I love this- I am usually sensitive to perfumes, but this one I enjoy while wearing it. I will have to buy it. It has a great sensual scent.
This smell was a little too strong and intense for me. I get a very edgy rock and roll vibe in this scent...not what i am going for.
I like the scent. It was stronger then perfumes I buy but it's a nice smell. Its a mature last longing scent. I was happy to try the product and would buy it!

Case Study: Electronic Paper Just Might Be Print's "Killer App"
Electronic paper just might be print's "Killer App"
No, print is not dead nor will it ever entirely die, but it is taking a beating and the Killer App is lurking. When it hits, we'd better be dealing with the new realities of print without printing. Last month, I related the significant downward pressures on our business. Now here's my vision of the thing that will be most disruptive to our world: electronic paper or a receiver that comes close to emulating it.
"Yeah, but," I hear all the defenders of print saying (and I'm one), "there is still a dependence on the printed page for reading and absorbing content." True. But what if there was an improvement in receivers? What if smart people in garages and laboratories, to paraphrase Bill Gates, develop a reusable receiver that feels and acts like paper?
Already Here
In 2008, Xerox gave folks at NextFest a peek at reusable paper. They imaged paper and then ran it through again, which removed the old image and put a new image in its place. Not perfect, but it was a step. The focus was to reduce the amount of paper used for transient copies that aren't needed forever. Xerox estimated those to be as much as 70% of everything reproduced (printed). Hmm. Okay, that's not going to be the killer app for printing, but many printers don't know that it is even possible.
The Killer App, in my view, would be practical electronic paper. This electronic paper would feel and act similar to paper, but would not be physically imaged. It would receive images wirelessly or through secondary means such as a thumb drive-type device. Want a new car brochure? A PDF is sent to you wirelessly and you display it on your electronic paper. Print it on your printer for archival storage if you wish, but since most things are transient documents, you would more likely clear it and display something else. Of course, you could somehow store the PDF for later viewing again if you wanted.
Now, this concept shouldn't come as a shock to you because companies have been working on this concept for some 40 years—companies like Sony, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, E Ink, Philips, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Siemens, Epson, and others. Xerox worked on a project like that until 2005 when it was shut down, apparently for corporate financial reasons.
Will someone succeed in developing it? I have no inside track, but my view is that a disruptive device similar to electronic paper is probable, and it could come sooner rather than later. Look at how books have been impacted by the Kindle, and where can that go? The Kindle is already the Killer App when it comes to books.
Bear with me a moment. If—and I stress if—someone did perfect electronic paper, what would be the effect on us? I don't know of anyone who thinks it would be positive. Rather, it would continue the negative trend and more printing would begin the decline, along with the business cards, maps, coupons, newsletters, and more that we discussed last month.
Timeline of Doom
So what does our end game look like? I see a world with a lot less printing (duplicates). Those of us who stay in the exact duplicate field will continue to see more commoditization, less work, and more price pressure until we are no longer viable.
How soon? For that estimate, I look to our newspaper cousins. Many industry supporting pontificators say printed newspapers will last another 35 years. Others say they won't last that long. Now, that tells me that even newspaper industry supporters recognize that sometime between today and 35 years from now there will be receiver technology that will knock off printed newspapers. I then infer that by the time that happens, printing (duplicates) will suffer a similar demise.
And here's the logic behind when I think it will happen.
I take the newspaper industry supporters' estimate of 35 years and divide the time into four parts. One fourth or the 25th percentile between tomorrow and 35 years would be 8.75 years, the 50th percentile would be 17.5 years, and the 75th percentile would be 26.25 years.

NYIT Spring New Student Orientation
Friends, family, and faculty honored the accomplishments of the Class of 2013 at NYIT-Bahrain's ninth graduation ceremony. NYIT President Edward Guiliano, Ph.D., conferred degrees on the 138 graduates gathered at the Gulf Hotel Convention Center. Fifteen received graduate degrees and 123 earned undergraduate degrees in fields that included interior design, management, information technology, and computer graphics.
The NYIT-Bahrain graduation ceremony for the Class of 2013 will take place on Wednesday, May 29, 10 a.m. to noon, at the Gulf Hotel Convention Center in Manama, Bahrain.
For updates regarding the ceremony, visit nyit.edu/bahrain/commencement.
While NYIT-Bahrain's latest student-produced feature, Silveraven, played to sold-out audiences at the Seef Mall Cineplex, the importance of community and service was not lost on the cast and crew.
"The point of making the movie was to give the proceeds to the charity the Red Crescent," says the film's director, Samar Osama Karkar, explaining that the team also sold DVDs of an accompanying student-produced music video to boost their charitable donation. NYIT-Bahrain Campus Dean Suzanne White, Ph.D., presented a check for 1000 Bahraini Dinars to the Executive Director of the Bahrain Red Crescent Society, who in turn awarded the filmmaking team honorary membership in the society.
"NYIT is the only institute in Bahrain to produce feature-length movies that not only help students learn the challenges of filmmaking but also support a good cause," explains Zeeshan J. Shah, assistant professor of Fine Arts and Computer Graphics, and supervisor of the Silveraven project at NYIT-Bahrain."Their efforts showed the whole region that there are young talents in the world who can go beyond their abilities, and hopefully they can motivate others to do the same."
At today's NYIT-Bahrain graduation ceremony, Student Life Organization President Tareq Al Kendi (pictured) and representative Samar Mohammed, graduate student speakers Mai Al- Khalifa and Abeer Al- Aradi, and undergraduate student speakers Mohammed Abdulla and Abeer Al- Najran, delivered the annual student addresses to their fellow graduates.

Undergraduate students from NYIT-Bahrain will premiere their student movie project, Silveraven, in the summer of 2012 at a local cinema. Zeeshan J. Shah, Assistant Professor of Fine Arts and Computer Graphics, has shared this sneak preivew of the film.
In celebration of the 11th Annual Italian Language Week in Bahrain, NYIT-Bahrain hosted two Italian scholars at an Italian Embassy conference today.
Building on a program that featured lectures in both Italian and English, University of Salerno professor Carmine Pinto spoke on the "150th Anniversary of Italian Unity Between History and Art." Later in the evening, Filippo Beltrami Gadola, NYIT-Bahrain associate professor and assistant dean of the School of Architecture and Design, presented on "The Unity of Italy and the Creation of a National Architecture."
The events provided an opportunity to examine Italian scholarship as well as the motivation of Arab and Bahraini students for studying in Italy.
A desire to know more about how technology can affect human nature motivated New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) faculty members Curtis Carbonell, Ph.D., and Thomas Philbeck, Ph.D., to organize the first international conference on transhumanism from October 21-23.
"We are a technological university, but we should also be concerned with key humanistic categories," said Carbonell, assistant professor of English at NYIT-Bahrain.
Titled "Transforming Human Nature in Science, Technology, and the Arts," the three-day event gathered 50 scholars at Dublin City University in Ireland. Experts from 25 universities including Oxford University, University of Exeter, George Washington University, England's Open University, and NYIT presented on disciplines ranging from philosophy to literature and neuroscience. Read More.
Amid singing and dancing, NYIT students and alumni volunteered their time to mark today's opening of a new hospital building for the elderly in Muharraq, Bahrain.
The volunteers helped distribute food and water to the elderly, who were excited about the visit, according to NYIT-Bahrain Associate Director of Alumni and Employer Relations Amal al-Dallal. "It's not everday that the elderly get visits like this," she explained.
In addition, as local school children were invited to draw the patients living in the hospital, NYIT volunteers assisted the young artists with their task and provided them with gifts at the event's conclusion.
As the Arab world's awareness of the needs of those diagnosed with Down's Syndrome grows, NYIT-Bahrain students and alumni visited the Bahrain Down's Syndrome Society and Care Center today.
While the incidence of Down's Syndrome is estimated at one in 733 births, many countries have been slow to ensure that individuals who suffer from the genetic disease are not denied the same opportunities that are available to the general population. The center provided the visitors with a tour of its facilities and a chance to meet the children who are treated there.
The tour inspired the group from NYIT to get more involved with the work of the society. "We are planning to raise money to help the center purchase equipment that will help them improve their services," said Amal al-Dallal, associate director of alumni and employer relations at NYIT-Bahrain.
In celebration of the 14th night of Ramadan, NYIT alumni and students celebrated Gergaoon Night, hosted by Yousif Lori (B.S. '06). Children marked the cultural celebration by dressing in traditional clothes and collecting candies and sweets from neighbors after singing the Gergaoon song. Volunteers from the NYIT community distributed gifts and assisted with face painting.
Alumni at NYIT-Bahrain found time to explore the benefits of greening the planet at the Al Qadseya Club on Saturday, Aug. 13. The "Go Green" event provided attendees with an education in horticulture, followed by the group planting a variety of shrubs on site. The event was sponsored by the Ministry of Municipality and Haitham Al Shorouqi, manager of the General Organization for Youth and Sports.
NYIT-Bahrain held its seventh graduation ceremony on June 7, 2011. The Class of 2011 included 275 graduates who celebrated along with guests including friends, family and alumni at the Gulf Hotel in Manama. Student speakers Fatima Al Shuwaikh and Talal Al Qassab addressed their classmates following a graduation address by NYIT President Edward Guiliano, Ph.D. Read More.
NYIT-Bahrain students Maymoona Alqasim and Hussam "Flipp" Mohammed Aseem collaborated on a music video for Bahraini unity that has generated over 40,000 views online. Watch the video.
Manama, Bahrain – New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) has named Amal Osama Al Dallal (B.S. '08, M.B.A. '10) as the new Associate Director of Alumni and Employer Relations at its Manama, Bahrain, campus.
Ten undergraduate students from NYIT-Bahrain will premiere their student movie project, Gilgamesh Pearl, in Bahraini cinemas on Feb. 26. The team will use proceeds from the feature to support My Charity Water, an organization that helps build water wells in African villages. Watch the trailer here.
In a finale that is sure to go down in history, NYIT-Bahrain's basketball team claimed the first Ajiaal Basketball League title on Dec. 25, 2010. The team defeated rivals Bahrain Training Institute (BTI) 64-51.
Students and faculty volunteers helped coordinate a blood drive on Nov. 25, 2010, for the Salminaya Medical Complex in Manama, Bahrain. In a letter to NYIT-Bahrain, Fakhriya A. Darwish, head of the Salmaniya Medical Complex Central Blood Bank, wrote that the group "rendered exemplary humanitarian service that no money can buy. Their gift of life will go a long way in saving lives and helping the diseased."
Samy N. Garas, Ph.D., assistant professor of accounting at NYIT-Bahrain, had his doctoral dissertation distributed to 1,000-plus participants at the 17th annual World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC) in Bahrain, Nov. 22-24, 2010. Faculty members and students from NYIT-Bahrain attended. In addition, Garas' article, "The Performance of Shari'a Supervisory Boards within Islamic Financial Institutions in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries," was published in Corporate Ownership & Control, Vol. 8, Issue 1, Fall 2010.
Samy Nathan, Ph.D., assistant professor in the School of Management at NYIT-Bahrain, was profiled in FACT-Bahrain's November 2010 issue.
NYIT-Bahrain's marketing department is starting to prepare for the Fourth Annual Ramadan Charity Drive, which is one of NYIT's major charity events in Bahrain. Ramadan is the Islamic month of fasting for Muslims around the world, and this year Ramadan is being observed from August 11 through September 9.

Mitt Romney said Monday he wasn't concerned about Donald Trump's commitment to the "birther" conspiracy, one day before the GOP presidential candidate hosts a fund-raiser alongside the celebrity business magnate.
Asked on his charter plane whether Trump's questioning of President Barack Obama's birthplace gave him pause, Romney simply said he was grateful for all his supporters.
"You know, I don't agree with all the people who support me and my guess is they don't all agree with everything I believe in," Romney said. "But I need to get 50.1% or more and I'm appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people."
Romney has said in the past that he firmly believes Obama was born in Hawaii, and is thus constitutionally eligible to be president.
Trump, however, is decidedly less sure. The "Apprentice" host has been a vocal proponent of the "birther" conspiracy going back several years, at one point claiming he had "investigators" looking into Obama's records in Hawaii. Obama released the long-form version of his birth certificate in April 2011, showing he was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. Soon after it was released, Trump announced he would not make a bid for the GOP presidential nomination.
Trump will join Romney and former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich for a campaign fund-raiser in Las Vegas on Tuesday evening. Romney's campaign also is raffling a chance to have dinner with the celebrity business magnate for supporters who donate $3 to the campaign.
"I want you: Dine with the Donald," a campaign flier proclaims, along with a drawing of Trump in the pose of Uncle Sam.
The campaign offers: "Airport transportation in the Trump vehicle; Stay at the Trump International Hotel & Tower New York; Tour the Celebrity Apprentice Boardroom; Dine with Donald Trump and Mitt Romney."
Trump's questions about Obama's birthplace resurfaced Friday in an interview with The Daily Beast.
"Look, it's very simple," Trump said in the interview. "A book publisher came out three days ago and said that in his written synopsis of his book."
The interview continued, "He said he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia. His mother never spent a day in the hospital."
Trump was referring to literary agency that, in a promotional catalogue from the 1990s, listed Obama has having been born in Kenya. An employee of the agency recently acknowledged that it was her mistake.
Trump isn't buying it.
"Now they're saying it was a mistake," he told the Daily Beast. "Just like his Kenyan grandmother said he was born in Kenya, and she pointed down the road to the hospital, and after people started screaming at her she said, 'Oh, I mean Hawaii.' Give me a break."

Warming the Northland
A few years ago, Rita Schluneger, owner of Moose-cellaneous Gifts in Two Harbors, found a way to combine her love of knitting and passion for helping people.By: LaReesa Sandretsky, Lake County News Chronicle
A few years ago, Rita Schluneger, owner of Moose-cellaneous Gifts in Two Harbors, found a way to combine her love of knitting and passion for helping people.
She put out a call to her customers during the holiday season asking them to drop off yarn leftover from holiday projects. People dropped off odds and ends and some brought more substantial collections if they were downsizing or moving.
Thereafter, her little shop became a hub where experienced knitters could pick up the extra yarn, bring it home and return a couple of weeks later with a cozy creation like a pair of mittens or a knitted hat, which Schluneger distributed to local schools and hospitals. The exchange has been ongoing.
"We have a lot of generous people in town," Schluneger said.
By the Friday before Christmas, local knitters had already dropped off a few hats. There were some tiny ones, perfect for the birthing centers at the hospitals in Duluth and a matching purple scarf and hat that any little girl would love. There were some larger caps in neutral colors, too, some of which Schluneger said she will donate to a rehabilitation program in Duluth.
"Everyone is grateful for them," she said.
Last year, the program was a great success, collecting 300 items made with donated yarn. All were distributed to those in need. This year, folks can drop off their extra yarn any time after Christmas; Schluneger said she doesn't usually stop the program until spring. There will be a large basket by the door where knitters can leave their leftovers or pick some up to keep their hands busy for a good cause.
"We all have to contribute something," Schluneger said.
Moose-cellaneous is located at 603 Seventh Avenue in Two Harbors

At least 19 Omaha firefighters are expected to leave the department this year with a chance to spike their pensions — the last gasp of a practice that is partially to blame for a $610 million pension shortfall.
Firefighters have until Thursday to tell the city whether they plan to retire under the old pension system, which allows them to work extra overtime or use banked comp time to boost income in the months leading up to retirement.
That practice, which artificially increases pension payments, was eliminated in the fire contract passed late last year. Instead, the new contract averages overtime and comp time over the course of a career.
But the contract also gave firefighters 90 days to decide whether to leave under the terms of the old agreement.
So far, 14 firefighters have said they will retire under the old system. Five more have indicated that they will resign under the terms of the old contract, allowing them to collect benefits once they turn 50.
Some of the departing firefighters had less than 20 years of service when the new contract was passed. But according to a letter from the City Council's negotiator to the fire union president, firefighters who reached a service time milestone during the subsequent three months would be able to claim the related benefits.
That particularly affected the 13 firefighters who remain from a class hired in February 1993. They will be allowed to leave the force — and potentially use spiking to inflate their pensions — while being credited with 20 years of service.
So far, only three of those firefighters have indicated that they will do so.
It's a good deal: Under the old contract, pension checks jump from 36 percent of salary to 55 percent of salary upon reaching 20 years of service.
When the latest police contract was passed in 2010, officers were not given a similar period to reach a pension-boosting service milestone. The police contract also eliminated spiking.
Aaron Hanson, a police officer who sits on the police and fire pension board, said he hopes few additional firefighters take advantage of the opportunity to leave with extra benefits. If more retire under the old system, he said, it could hurt the beleaguered pension fund.
"I'll hold off judgment until I see how many people retire," he said. "We'll know the impact on the 28th. Every dollar counts as we work hard to heal the fund."
Using the old system can make a significant difference. A city analysis of estimated pensions for the 13 firefighters who hit 20 years in February showed an average gain of 16 percent if they take benefits under the old system. One firefighter stands to gain 52 percent.
Granted, other factors go into a firefighter's decision to leave the department, said city attorney Bernard in den Bosch. Those who choose not to retire will continue to gain service time and build their pension payouts.
Many firefighters are weighing their options, he said. In the past few months, he said, some potential retirees have requested their pension estimates and then decided against leaving.
The added cost from allowing firefighters to reach the 20-year milestone was not considered by an actuary who examined the savings of the fire contract. But in den Bosch said it shouldn't have much of an impact given the size of the pension fund.

Climb the black-washed, right-leaning corner right of Au Natural. Very sketchy small pro going up the corner. Near the top of the corner, clip a bolt on the left wall. Continue straight up, or step right and climb a slab to the anchor. Fun stemming and laybacking up the corner, and thin slab climbing at the top. A good route. Can toprope this route after leading Au Natural.
1 bolt (retrobolted with permission?) plus some small-to-medium gear should get you to the anchor.
I agree with the comment above. Though short, the balancy crux was fun and exciting. I was able to place a #1 and #2 Camalot on long slings before the lone bolt, then ran it out to the anchors on fairly easy rock. Rossiter rates it a 9+.
I have to agree with Matt. I really enjoyed this route, having done many of the routes at the Riviera. It also offers the best placement for the yellow/red offset Alien Ive gotten yet! Remember, you're not in Eldo here, the climbs are short, but this was classic Canyon stemming and slab moves in my opinion.
I thought this was a quite fun route....5.6 climbing with very thoughtful pro (use slings) to a steep and slick dihedral with a seam (no pro) and a perfect bolt on the left wall to protect this balancy crux. Above the bolt is sustained 5.8 climbing for ~15 feet until a perfect Alien placement...eases off to 2 bolt belay. This exciting and fun pitch.
Deserves a star. It is oddly reminscent of the 2nd pitch of Where Eagles Dare. Offset cams are not required. It is not R rated with the bolt.
It's short, but somewhat fun. I'd tell people it was fun and if they got somehow stranded at this bolt-infested crag that it is worth the bother. 1-star, and a lot better than many of the other routes there. Too bad it was retro-bolted.
I liked this climb. It's possible to layback part of the dihedral, both feet on right wall, fingers in seam/crack. When the seam runs out you can move out right on sketchy friction.
This is one of the nicer routes on the Riviera. Neat laybacking and stemming with two different ways to do the finish.
This is a great climb on great rock. It's too short, but it's far from being a one-move wonder. The moves, like the gear placements, require some thought. Also, both the moves and the gear can feel a little insecure. However the stances are good enough that you have plenty of time to think through your gear placements and moves, so it feels pretty safe. I used only small stoppers through the crux, as I didn't see anywhere to get in a cam. Maybe a micro cam in the dihedral - but I don't have any.
History: I was pointed to this by Richard Rossiter a good while back. I did the first lead sans bolt with Steve Ilg as my second. Try it sometime without the bolt, which was added with my permission by Jon Grayson, it is even more thoughtful. The route was originally named Devin's Dihedral. I have no idea why it was renamed.
I did it without the bolt and you are right, it is more interesting. I carried a handful of RPs and offsets and still didn't get a good piece in until after the crux. It's more or less a S/VS 5.9 climb. My previous comment was made without the knowledge that the retrobolting was by permission fo the FA party (whomever you are), although I don't necessarily endorse it. The info that the FA party was in consent came from an anonymous source here...So who did the FA?
There's a microcam in a tiny horizontal around to the right of the rounded arete before you get to the bolt. I remember being gripped just getting to the bolt.
Personally I thought it was a fun route and one of the better routes at the crag. Thoughtful moves required and extra spicy for the leader. Even more fun in 40 degree weather with numb fingers. Not to be missed if at the crag. Rossiter gives this route a star and a 5.9+ rating.
Fun and safe with the bolt, but I wouldn't recommend it to a budding 5.9 trad leader.
I found this climb to be varied and thought provoking, bolt or not. Definitely bring some small cams along, maybe a couple of green c3s (save one for after the bolt). I decided from the ground to decide whether to clip the bolt when I got there. Due to the flaring nature of the crack, protection was somewhat dubious and quite a bit down from the bolt, which meant I thought better to clip the bolt and wuss out than break my legs in a nasty fall (or worse!). I encourage you to make the same evaluation and climb it in whatever manner makes you happiest. I will say that every person that seconded this route after me raved about it, and that the bolt did make for a good directional to keep them safe. IMO, best route at the crag.
More gear beta: there is a small horizontal nut placement around the rounded (right) corner just before the last committing moves out of the dihedral.
To easily top rope this without doing the sketchy lead and if you can't climb 5.10 (the climb to the right that shares the same anchor) is to do Bosch Blanket trailing a second rope, clip into the anchors of Bosch and continue leading a few more feet over to the next anchor to your left (easy traverse, but don't fall because of course potential for a little swing). Clip in again of course to that anchor as you set up the top rope and then go back to the first anchors and lower. Maybe this is obvious but just for your info. Eeks, it was ten years ago when I first commented on this route.
This route can be zipped up with a blue/purple MC, a #0.75 C4 out left and the bolt. Best route at the crag.

The Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers play their home games at new Miller Park in Milwaukee, WI. For the team and Brewer fans alike, the park was certainly a long time coming. With over a decade of planning and nearly five years of construction, Miller Park opened its doors for Milwaukee Brewers Fans on April 6, 2001. President George W. Bush was on hand to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, officially marking the opening of the Brewers shiny new ballpark. Currently part of the National League, the Milwaukee Brewers were originally in the American League until this change in 1997. A league change is not the only change Milwaukee baseball fans have realized. Milwaukee was once home to the Milwaukee Braves, or Atlanta Braves as they are currently known. From 1953-1965, Milwaukeeans enjoyed watching Hall of Famers Eddie Mathews, Warren Spahn and home run king Hank Aaron. The Braves beat the Yankees in the World Series in 1957 to award Milwaukee with it's only Major League baseball championship. In 1965, Braves minority-owner Bud Selig lost his fight to keep the team in Milwaukee. Immediately, Selig looked to return Major League Baseball to Milwaukee one way or another. Five years later, in 1970, Selig brought the minor league Seattle Pilots to Milwaukee and began to play as the Major League Milwaukee Brewers. It took 12 years, but in 1982 the Milwaukee Brewers went to the World Series with such great players as Pete Vukovich, Rollie Fingers, Paul Molitor, Gorman Thomas, Jimmy Gantner and Robin Yount. Unfortunately, the Milwaukee Brewers came up short in this series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Milwaukee still proved to be a baseball city as the Brewers were the talk-of-the-town amongst baseball fans in Southeastern Wisconsin in the Fall of '82. Current Milwaukee Brewers rivals include the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs. In fact, when tickets went on sale at the Milwaukee Brewers box office for the teams' series against the Cubs, the word was TAKE BACK MILLER PARK. In recent years, there's been more Chicago Cub fans in the stands than Milwaukee Brewer fans. Named for the industry which made Milwaukee famous, the Milwaukee Brewers are now led by manager and former Milwaukee Brewer player Ned Yost ? also a member of the '82 World Series Brewer squad. Hopes are that Yost can translate some of his former successes to the Milwaukee Brewers. Entering the second half of the decade, the young Milwaukee Brewer team certainly has heart. Hovering at .500 for the current season, fans have been supportive of the improved play they see on the field. Part of this renewed interest came from the sale of the Milwaukee Brewers from Bud Selig to investment banker Mark Attanasio in January 2005. In fact, on February 26, 2005 the Milwaukee Brewers sold more tickets via the internet than they had any other day in franchise history. Things are looking up for the Milwaukee Brewers. Finishing their 2005 season right at .500 for the first time in over a decade, thanks to two home runs in the 7th inning of their last game against the Reds, the Milwaukee Brewers put their 12 year streak of losing seasons behind them. The Milwaukee Brewers have had many looks and logos through the years, but none resonate with Milwaukee Brewers fans like the blue and gold M and B, ball in glove logo of the 1980's. Former Milwaukee Brewers in Baseball's Hall of Fame include: Robin Yount, Henry Aaron, Paul Molitor, Rollie Fingers, Don Sutton and Broadcaster Bob Uecker. Calling County Stadium home for 30 years, the Milwaukee Brewers are spoiled playing in one of the most beautiful parks in all of Major League Baseball, Miller Park. The first game the Milwaukee Brewers played in the new park was in April 2001. Miller Park is a traditional ballpark reflecting local architecture, but has a retractable dome roof to protect against the cool weather in Wisconsin during the spring and fall. Brewers fans have the luxury knowing there will never be a rain delay at Miller Park. The Milwaukee Brewers have had both of the stadiums featured in big Hollywood movies; County Stadium in 1989's Major League and Miller Park in 2004's Mr. 3000. Not a star in Hollywood, Bernie Brewer, Milwaukee Brewers mascot, plays a starring role every home game at Miller Park. Fans coming to watch the Milwaukee Brewers, or Brew Crew, will enjoy Bernie, the Klement's Sausage Race and many other unique offerings the promotions department of the Milwaukee Brewers has put together.

Accused drug dealer to be released after lab shutdown
QUINCY, Mass. (WHDH) -- A judge ordered an accused drug dealer to be released from jail on Thursday. This comes as the state investigates a chemist who is accused of deliberately mishandling drug samples.
David Danieli faced serious drug charges in Quincy. He pleaded guilty, but now his attorney said his plea was infected with an unconstitutional breach of ethics on behalf of the lab.
Wednesday's decision was the first drug case in Norfolk County to be directly affected by the problems uncovered at the state drug lab in Jamaica Plain. Authorities said a chemist tainted more than 50,000 samples.
"This was one of the cases where there was potentially mixing of drugs," said attorney John Martin.
The prosecutor said initially his office was informed there may have been a breach of protocol with the Department of Public Health, but nothing like what has been revealed.
"We know at this point that the letters that were sent were grossly inaccurate," said prosecutor George Papachristos.
"Everyone who's been convicted of a crime related to drugs in Norfolk, Suffolk and possibly other counties in the last five or six years is possibly the victim of a very substantial miscarriage of justice and on the other hand a lot of dangerous people might get out of jail," said Martin.
Even though Danieli is being released, the case is not going away. He was supposed to serve a 2.5-year sentence. His attorney said he expects the case to be prosecuted; however he also says there are going to be significant developments that he could not elaborate on.

Paddling with OR Revel Mitts

Comments about Outdoor Research Revel Shell Mitts:
Bought these to extend the lake paddle season in our sea kayaks. We added a pair of thin wool mittens under the shells and the combination works well and hands stay dry from paddle drip, splash and dips. Bulk is minimal so our paddle grip is still comfortable. All previous shells have not been "waterproof" when push came to shove so we are hopeful.
Comment on this review
finally an over mitt shell
By emosewa
from seattle
I searched the Internet for months looking for an over mitt that had a description that had a chance at fitting over my size XL arc'teryx beta ar gloves. I had a pair of OR over mitts from about 15 years ago that I needed to replace. These are a little tight over my gloves but are just big enough to fit & I still have dexterity & range of motion with them on.
