By John Maynard
Why sign up for a seagoing cruise, especially if what you're interested in is seeing old and intriguing things on land? I have to admit I was a skeptic—and a snob.
It was an important year at our house, with two graduations (Liberty High and Washington State University), no National History Day finals (in Maryland) and, for the first time in ten years, no summer school for me at CSUB. So it was now or probably never for the four of us, and there was no question that we were going to Europe. Lori had gone there as a graduation present from college; I had been there several times, but always on someone else's nickel and fulfilling someone else's agenda. I was too old to hitchhike now, and while I preferred the idea of going to one or two places and staying long enough to really get to know them, there was something to be said for seeing a lot of places in a more or less organized fashion.
It was the mental image of a cruise ship that I couldn't quite handle—a gigantic floating skyscraper traveling on its side and pausing every day or two to disgorge its cargo of three thousand turistas for just long enough to give a selective pump to the local economy. That's where being a snob came in. I didn't particularly want to shop, much less have my picture taken with some character in plastic Roman armor outside the Colosseum. I wanted to take my own pictures and turn my imagination loose, but Lori persuaded me that the right guided tour would actually encourage that freedom to happen rather than cutting it off or boxing it in. The key, of course, was to line up the right tours long in advance, and that was what she did—spending hours more on the Web than I would ever have had the patience to do.
What we ended up with, not surprisingly, was a seventh-grade World History teacher's tour of the eastern Mediterranean. And that was especially fine with me, because seventh grade was when my own imagination was probably at its sharpest, strongest and freest. We visited Athens, Istanbul, Ephesus and Mykonos. We explored Pompeii, the Vatican, the Colosseum, and the cathedral and tower of Pisa. We even made it to the palace of the popes in Avignon, a dreary royal refuge if there ever was one. We also spent a week on our own in Italy (Florence, Ravenna, Venice) and three days in Barcelona—every day a tour (or two), every day a fresh new perspective on something we had thought we already knew well.
In a way, though, the thing that really got through to the seventh grader who still lives in me was practically invisible. After dinner on the night we passed though the Strait of Messina, which runs between the toe of Italy and the football of Sicily, I made my way to the bow of the ship and was surprised to find about fifty other turistas posted there as well. These, of course, were the narrows that the real Spartacus never got his army across. But it was also the passage where Odysseus steered his ship between the whirlpool of Charybdis and the monster Scylla. We didn't encounter either on this particular evening, but I did see the strangest collection of currents my imagination could have stirred up—glassy water next to frothy water next to choppy water, running in and from all directions. I even saw water that looked like a bank of liquid fog. Though it seemed to be a fairly calm night, they still sent out a special pilot in a little speedboat to guide the giant high-tech ship through the least trustworthy waters in the world.
So I'm no longer a snob about cruise ships, especially for someone who'd like to connect with a lot of history in a short time. The strength and clarity of the connection, of course, is up to the traveler, and the key to it all is careful planning in advance. Will we do it again? Not for a while, at least not to Europe. But in the meantime, we're starting to read a lot about cruises to Yucatán, and in Yucatán they have a place called Chichen Itza…

Year: 2011
Country: BELGIUM
Run Time: 96 minutes
Pim is a dreamer, an introspective teenager who lives a dead-end life on a dead-end street on the Belgian coast. He's neglected by his mother Yvette, a washed-up former glamour girl. Pim longs for a life of beauty; as a child, he dressed up in Yvette's tiara, pretending he was a princess. Now his dreams focus on Gino, the older biker boy next door. When Yvette runs off with a hunky carnival worker, Pim goes to live with Gino's family. Swearing him to secrecy, Gino takes the younger boy camping and introduces him to sex. When Gino decides it's time to grow up and take an interest in girls, Pim's world falls apart. But one rainy day, something happens to bring his dreams within reach. Director Bavo Defurne imbues every scene of NORTH SEA TEXAS with grace. He has called it a happy film about the life the boys from "Brokeback Mountain" could have had.

Structural phenomena
Types of quantum field thories
Functorial quantum field theory, one of the two approaches of axiomatizing quantum field theory. The other is AQFT. FQFT formalizes the Schrödinger picture of quantum mechanics, while AQFT formalizes the Heisenberg picture.
Much work in quantum field theory is based on arguments using the path integral. While in the physics literature this is usually not a well defined object, it is generally assumed to satisfy a handful of properties, notably the sewing laws. These say, roughly, that the path integral over a domain which decomposes into subdomains and is the same as the path integral over composed with that over .
It was in
that it was realized that
this means that this property can be taken as the defining property of the path integral, thereby circumventing the problem of constructing it as an actual integral;
this property can be conveniently axiomatized by saying that the path integral is a functor from a suitable category whose morphisms are cobordisms to a category of vector spaces.
(Strictly speaking, Atiyah's original article mentions this functor slightly indirectly only.)
All this was originally formalized in the context of topological quantum field theory only. This is the easiest case that already exhibits all the functoriality that is implied by "FQFT" but by far not the only case (see below).
A pedagogical exposition of how the physicist's way of thinking about the path integral leads to its definition as a functor is given in
A pedagogical exposition of the notion of quantum field theory as a functor on cobordisms is in
and a review of much of the existing material in the literature is in
The influential work by Moore and Segal on open-closed 2d TFTs is available as
The same topic is studied by Lazariou:
This mostly concentrates on topological quantum field theories, those where the path integral depends only on the diffeomorphism class of the domain it is evaluated on. This is the simplest and by far best understood case. But the idea of functorial FQFT is not restricted to this case.
This was realized in
There the notion of 2-dimensional conformal field theory is axiomatized as a functor on a category of 2-dimensional cobordisms with conformal structure.
(Apparently a similar definition has been given by Kontsevich, but never published.) The details of the category of conformal cobordisms can get a bit technical and slight variations of Segal's original definition may be necessary. The work by Huang and Kong can be regarded as a further refinement and maybe completion of Segal's program
Yi-Zhi Huang, Geometric interpretation of vertex operator algebras, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol 88. (1991) pp. 9964-9968
Liang Kong, Open-closed field algebras Commun. Math. Physics. 280, 207-261 (2008) (arXiv).
A very concrete construction of functorial CFTs (for the special case of rational CFTs) is provided by the FFRS-formalism.
But one notices that the formalization of quantum field theory as a functor on cobordisms encodes only a small aspect of the full sewing law imagined to be satisfied by the path integral: In a 1-category of -dimensional cobordisms these are glued along -dimensional boundaries. One could imagine more generally a formalization where a given cobordism is allowed to be chopped into arbitrary parts of arbitrary co-dimension such that the path integral can still consistently be evaluated on each of these parts.
This leads to the notion of extended quantum field theory, which is taken to be an -functor on an infinity category of extended cobordisms. Early ideas about a formalization of this approach were given in
Making this precise involves giving a precise definition of an -category of cobordisms. Several approaches exist, such as
There is a long-term project by Stephan Stolz and Peter Teichner which originally tried to refine Segal's 1-functorial formulation of conformal field theory to a 2-functorial extended FQFT, as indicated in
More recently, Mike Hopkins and Jacob Lurie claimed (Hopkins-Lurie on Baez-Dolan) to have found a complete coherent formalization of topological extended FQFT in the context of (infinity,n)-categories using an (infinity,n)-category of cobordisms. This is described in
An explicit account of this for the 2-dimensional case is presented in
see also
In this context Dan Freed is picking up again his old work on higher algebraic structures in quantum field theory, as described in
where he argued that and how the path integral should assign -categorical objects to domains of codimension , and is re-expressing this in the -functorial context. (Freed speaks of multi-tiered QFT instead of extended QFT.)
Freed's ideas on how an extended or multi-tiered QFT arises from a path integral coming from a given background field were further formalized in the context of "finite" QFTs in
Simon Willerton, The twisted Drinfeld double of a finite group via gerbes and finite groupoids (arXiv)
Bruce Bartlett, On unitary 2-representations of finite groups and topological quantum field theory, PhD thesis, Sheffield (2008) (arXiv)
There are indications that a complete picture of this involves groupoidification
and, more generally geometric function theory:
a big advancement in the understanding of extended -model QFTs is the discussion in
which realizes -models by homming cobordism cospans into the total spaces (realized as infinity-stack) of background fields and regarding the resulting spans as pull-push operators on suitable geometric functions.
A similar approach to bring the old work by Dan Freed mentioned above in contact with the picture of extended functorial QFT and the Baez-Dolan-Lurie structure theorem is
As usual, the problem of constructing FQFT becomes much more tractable when linear approximations are applied. In homological FQFT and in TCFT the Hom-spaces of the cobordism category (the moduli spaces of cobordisms with given punctures/boundaries) are approximated by complexes of chains on them. This leads to formalization of -functorial QFT in the context of dg-algebra.

Thank you every -- great response to our convention coverage we heard you loud and clear.
So -- my take on next week when the Democrats meeting -- it will be a very sharp contrast to what we just saw in Tampa.
Will be the perfect count -- -- and set the stage -- stark choice election.
Look at the Democrats speakers vice president Joseph Biden.
He will speak right before mr.
Obama -- a long series of -- one place him right before the main event -- and that.
Joseph Biden Paul Ryan.
Can you imagine a wider -- Early in the convention the Democrats will give a starring role to Elizabeth Warren.
The vast senatorial candidate in Massachusetts.
She started the president's down the president down his you didn't build that road.
And she -- her job at Harvard by claiming without proof to have minority status.
And then there is Sandra Fluke.
This is the young lady who demands free birth control for all women.
-- online at waging a war on women if I don't want to pay.
Please don't forget Bill Clinton he may well -- the star of the entire show except that he's speaking just as the giants play the cowboys in the NFL season opened up.
So come on everybody.
Let's get away for a wonderful Labor Day weekend just think what one does will unfold next week.
We will be that.
And so when you -- the fact.
I you know going down not -- the Democrats but you're absolutely right to say that the choice cannot be more stark differences.
The Obama -- nanny state wealth redistribution class warfare you're also gonna happen -- and abortion extravaganza this week.
Head of name -- head of Planned Parenthood centric look of course.
The first is what team Romney is advocating which is freedom and all of its form my point.
Visit the conventions set the stage for a very lively debate going into the election with a very clear choice convection in the conventions were very very different from each of it's a war everybody.
Women minorities.
And -- say -- say -- the -- is is that we have -- -- that this think.
Top choice -- -- had a choice is.

Forensic analysis of memory on Linux
Tracing Clues
In computer forensics, memory analysis is becoming increasingly important as a means for investigating security incidents. In this article, we provide an overview of the various memory dumping options on Linux and introduce the support in Linux for the Volatility Analysis Framework.
Experts agree that one of the first steps for diagnosing a potential intrusion incident is backing up a RAM image. Traditional investigations of persistent memory are no longer sufficient because, as the capacity of hard drives increases, you need to investigate a huge amount of data to detect an attack. Analysis of volatile memory can support and accelerate these investigations because forensic investigators only need to search through a comparatively small amount of data for clues relating to a successful attack. Additionally, RAM often contains important traces, such as information on running processes or active network connections.
Tapping into RAM is especially important for countering anti-forensics techniques. In some cases, it is possible to extract the passphrase for an encrypted drive from volatile memory. You can also detect non-persistent malware using RAM analysis. In targeted attacks, hackers often use malicious code that is only active in memory, and it leaves no data behind on the disk. This type of malware is virtually undetectable without analyzing volatile memory.

Spartans sink in second half
Just when Southwestern had fought back from an eight-point deficit to tie the game with six minutes left, Central Nebraska made two crucial plays in a 66-54 victory over the Spartan men here Wednesday night.
Sophomore guard Marcus Littleton sank two 3-pointers and Devin Kastrup converted a pump-fake jumper to pull Southwestern even at 51-51 after trailing 51-43.
The Spartans seemed to have the momentum against the taller, faster Raiders. In the final six minutes, it would come down to execution, which plays to Southwestern's strength.

The top 11 feet of soil in the Arctic continues to thaw. Sinkholes are opening, highways are buckling, houses and forests are tilting, all of which is wreaking havoc on landscapes, wildlife and cities from Murmansk to Juneau. This permafrost layer--defined as soil that remains icy cold for more than two years--covers nearly a quarter of the land in the Northern Hemisphere. But that total is shrinking and new models show that it may nearly disappear by the end of this century.
"Our model predicts that the area with permafrost in the top [11 feet] will fall sharply over the next century," explains climate change researcher David Lawrence of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado. "Deeper permafrost, which can extend down [more than one mile] and which our model does not represent, will be largely unaffected by global warming." Lawrence and his colleague Andrew Slater of the University of Colorado developed a model that accounts for the effects of the atmosphere, land, ocean, sea ice and the soil itself. "People have used models to study permafrost before, but not within a fully interactive climate system model," Lawrence notes.
The researchers set the model loose on several scenarios to determine how permafrost would react under different concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere: a scenario in which concentrations skyrocket from their current value of 350 parts per million (ppm) to 810 ppm by the year 2100; a scenario in which such concentration levels off at around 550 ppm due to deployment of emission-free technologies; and a scenario, dubbed "business as usual," in which concentrations climb to 700 ppm.
Under the skyrocketing scenario, permafrost declines from more than four million square miles today to just 400,000 by 2100. Even in the best case scenario, permafrost shrinks to cover just 1.5 million square miles. "Permafrost degradation of this magnitude is likely to have significant adverse ecological and societal impacts," the researchers write in the current issue of Geophysical Research Letters. (In the image above, light blue denotes current permafrost coverage; dark blue represents future coverage under the "business as usual" scenario.)
Arctic rivers already carry 7 percent more fresh water to the ocean today than they did in the 1930s. The model correctly predicts this rise and points to as much as a 28 percent increase in water flow by century's end, as water drains without being blocked by frozen soil. This could impact everything from the formation of sea ice to the circulation of currents in the Arctic Ocean.
Even more troubling, this permafrost layer contains anywhere from 20 to 60 percent of the carbon trapped in soils in the world. Thawing could lead to a massive "positive feedback loop" that pushes global greenhouse gas concentrations ever higher. "The major feedback is the possible accelerated rate of decomposition of organic matter that is currently 'locked up' in the frozen soil, leading to increased atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases such as [carbon dioxide] and methane," Lawrence says. "If this emission occurs on a large scale, it could speed up or enhance global warming."

By Pamela Dillon
If you're a fan of Rosewood Gallery's annual HWD show, then this year's sixth-annual exhibit won't disappoint. Be prepared to be intrigued, amused and visually entertained. Juror Valerie Mann chose 39 works by 27 sculptors from a pool of 91 pieces by 38 artists from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.
"As sculptors, we're so very fortunate to have a professional venue such as Rosewood Gallery that focuses solely on three-dimensional work for one of its annual shows," said Mann, an artist, educator and art activist from Saline, Mich. (HWD refers to "height by width by depth.")
She designated a total of $1,100 in United Art and Education Awards to the winning artists, with her bottom line being a high standard of craftsmanship.
Best of show went to Brett Kern of Elkins, W. Va. His sense of play is alive and well in "Inflatable Dinosaur Series: T-Rex Blue, Stegosaurus Red, and Triceratops Celadon." The sculpted reptiles appear to be blown-up plastic toys; in reality they are made of slip-cast clay. He constructed intricate seams, a bronze-colored stopper and a signed moniker on each.
The first place nod went to David Marquez of Bowling Green for his bronze sculptures "Chew 3Way" and "Fetish." The first resembles a doggy chew toy.
Shon Walters of Dayton won second place for "Spermicidal Maniacs." The installation consisted of three white panels covered with a frenzy of macro-sized, wooden treasure hunters racing diagonally upwards.
Third place was awarded to Chuck Sharbaugh of Holly, Mich., for "Pivots and Rows." Listed for $38,000, it was labor-intensive, with the wooden cabinet constructed to mimic the images within.
"I was pleased to see such a diverse array of materials and techniques used … in the show. I was treated to moments of sheer delight as I flipped through all the images of work submitted by artists," said Mann. "The combination of forms and choices of materials to represent an idea, the humor and emotion that came through the work, all combined to make the entire jurying process fun and rewarding."
Honorable mentions were given to two artists, Robert Bielat of Ferndale, Mich., and Lauren Strahl of Slippery Rock, Pa. Bielat's subject was river locks made with bronze and steel bi-metal casting on a limestone base. "River Locks (Phi)" and "River Locks (Psi)" were made to look aged and corroded by time.
Strahl's subject matter was more of the domestic variety. She imagined a wooden refrigerator covered with fabric for "359 Thomas Road Fridge." It is presented complete with food items inside — like fabric olives inside a cloth jar. Her "359 Thomas Road Side Board" is just as whimsical, with a fabric phone, light stand and waste basket.
Gallery coordinator Amy Anderson said, "Mann selected a wide variety of works, with super-traditional figurative work, and some really crazy conceptual pieces. It makes for a very exciting show."
Other local artists in the show are Douglas Atkinson, Robert A. Coates, Matthew R. Burgy, Aaryn N. Combs, Bill Danzig, Marianne Engle, Ron Hundt, Adam Redding, Alice Robrish and Alice Bordenkircher Tavani.
"If the pieces entered in this show are any indication, I'd say our Midwest regional artists are keeping culture alive and, indeed, driving it forward," said Mann. "I was invigorated by looking through all of the entries."

Good game, good plays and the ticket contest is back again
Sure, everyone saw that one coming, right?
Nice night, though and with more than 18,000 in the joint it was a rather good atmosphere. Maybe everyone's getting geared up for Friday and Phoenix?
Anyway, as we await the trades, we offer …
Good calls, good execution
Want to know what the Raptors got out of two crucial timeouts late Wednesday? Good plays, good execution, and points.
The first comes with about 1:47 left, tie game, Bulls had just gone on a 7-0 run and the Raptors are reeling. They call a timeout, run a high-screen with Jose and Bargnani except the play's got another option ("single away action" Jay called it) and Bargnani hits a curling DeRozan, who finishes at the rim.
Bulls tie it, Raps are in a tough offensive set when DeRozan's trapped in the corner and wisely calls timeout with eight seconds on the shot clock.
Out of the timeout, they run a simple but effective play, DeRozan curls off a straight line set, gets a screen, gets on the baseline to the rim where he's fouled and makes two free throws.
See? They can do it. And against a good team with time to set its defence.
Go at him
Raptors as bullies?
But as we're chatting with Jose after the game, he lets slip that Toronto knew precisely where to attack the Bulls.
"Korver was sometime on LB, sometime on DeMar. I was trying to find the guy being guarded by Korver and play the pick and roll with them."
That's going at the vulnerable and a good idea.
Helluva move
The up and under move that Amir Johnson put on Carlos Boozer to put Toronto up four with about 17 seconds left might have been the best post move he's made all season. Clutch play, he was in control and didn't rush and did just what he should have – go right at a guy with five fouls.
Not bad at all.
Let's start big.
Hey, you got three friends?
How'd you like to take 'em to Sunday's game against Dallas, sit in some really good seats, say high to the Miller Genuine Draft people and eat and drink as you see fit? Sound good? Yeah, we're back again with the MGD Best Seats In The House contest, this time it's three sets of four tickets for Sunday.
I know we're a bit rushed on this but entering in easy. Click here and fill in the form and be warned entries close at noon Friday so we can notify the winners Friday afternoon so make sure you provide an easily-accessible e-mail or phone number.
Good luck, see some of you there.
Now, back to our regularly-scheduled Festival of Crankiness.
And it's just before 8 a.m. and I'm wondering what channel the all-day telethon of Trade Deadline Day news is on? Anyone help a guy out?
Oh, yes.
Trust me (or not, I really don't care) but, yes, the Raptors did place a call to Utah to see if Deron Williams was available in the aftermath of the Jerry Sloan departure. Just like about 24 other teams would have.
But nothing came of it, there was no suggestion that the Jazz were even serious about moving Williams (I believe they wanted to see how he'd work with new coach Ty Corbin a bit) and the Nets thing came together quickly.
You know how some of us thought Dan Gilbert was a bit off his rocker when he wrote that love letter to LeBron after The Decision?
Well, not sure what's happened in that zany mind of his, but he's signed off on a deal that brings Baron Davis to Cleveland? Is the guy bonkers?
Sure, the Cavs get a good first pick out of it and they lose Mo Williams and Jamario but, wow. Baron's unmotivated at the best of times, taking an L.A. kid out of L.A. and dropping in Cleveland in February with the worst team in the league?
Oh, yeah. That's going to work out really well.
Hey, let's check what K.C. had to say about that game last night, shall we?
Without peeking, I have a sneaky suspicion the story will centre on Chicago's lame defence.
Know what last night would have been, right?
Well, I know some of you know but it would have been Game No. 1,000 in the three-point streak.
How conflicted would you have been had they gone 0-5 from three but still beat the Bulls in one of their best all-around games of the year?
At least you could have sat around tomorrow and talked about it over a piece of pizza.
You know a dude's in deep when he's on the next stool and you hear him say:
"The Clippers just covered the over."
That's kind of sad, isn't it?
This is what all-star weekend does.
You hear Lenny Kravitz and you smile.
Dude's good.
Very good.
I imagine some of the Irregulars would know how much my eyes rolled when I got this quote from James Johnson, who seems a likeable sort after a day.
"My plus-minus is outrageous so I'm going to play hard every time I strap up."
That's so wrong at so many levels; the cliché, the odd phrasing, the thought that individual plus-minus means anything.
But, I'll give him the Day 1 benefit of the doubt because he also said this, about his uniform number.
"I want to start from zero and work my way up."
Around the Raptors, that's Banya-esue gold, folks. Gold.
Now, I'm off to try the soup.
A couple of guys reached Jerry Sloan yesterday afternoon to get his reaction to the Deron Williams trade and one thought came to mind:
Jerry Sloan has a cell phone?
I don't know what I thought but a vision of a modern day Oliver Douglas up pole talking on some old fashioned phone came to mind.
This might be among the more disturbing, and telling, things out there in the last day or so.
According to a report – and I cannot vouch for its veracity – the agent for Raymond Felton is going to meet with Denver general manager Masai Ujiri about whether or not his client is going to start for the Nuggets.
Now, I'm not naïve enough to think that it's out of the ordinary for that to happen but you know what? That's idiotic and if I'm Masai, I tell the agent to go find some endorsements or something for his client and let George Karl figure out what he wants to do with his point guard.
Yes, the inmates run the asylum but at some point, enough is enough.
Okay, almost time to go sit in the office and see what transpires on the trade front to determine what, if anything, I have to write today. But it'll also give me some down time to do mail so …
You know what to do. Write. Keep me company.

Camping season ain't over yet! One gadget that I've been eyeballing for some time is the BioLite CampStove, and I finally got some time to give it a shot. Yes, you charge your iPhone with fire. It's pretty awesome.
More →
CES 2013 is about to kick off and we are being inundated with new accessories. One of those that really stand out is the Griffin PowerDock 5 which is a counter top charge that can charge up to five devices at the same time from one power outlet. If you live in a home like me, this particular accessory could come in really handy; we currently have three iPads and three iPhones that constantly need charging.
Well known accessory manufacturer "Belkin" has announced that it will soon be shipping the first official third party accessories based on Apple's Lightning connector cable. The first accessories will be a rather innovative charge and sync dock and a car charger.
A new portable fuel cell charger will be available to buy this year that claims to be able to recharge your iPhone between 10 and 14 times. The small charging device does not need to be recharged by plugging it in; it works with replaceable fuel cell cartridges which can even be carried on planes.
The Choixx Power Fort 5600 mAh by Cooler Master is an external battery pack charger for your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Unlike case charges such as the mophie juice pack, because it's USB based the Power Fort will also work with Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone and most other gadgets, as well as accessories like Bluetooth headsets.
The Converge USB charging hub from Think Geek is a fun, futon-inspired stand for your iPhone, iPod tour or iPad. Working on an Apple mobile blog like iMore means you start to amass a lot of Apple mobile devices and even if I'm only using an iPhone and an iPad every day, keeping them both charged in an easy, elegant way has proven to be more of a challenge than I originally imagined. Converge looks like a great way to do just that.
The Seidio Desktop Charging Cradle is exactly what its name implies, a docking and charging station for your iPhone.
In contrast to Apple's white dock, this cradle is matte black. It is very sturdy which allows you to easily use and tap on your iPhone without the risk of knocking it over. With dimensions at about 4"x2.5"x1", the Seidio Desktop Charging Cradle isn't tiny, but it isn't bulky either. The cradle connects to your computer via micro USB and iTunes does recognize when you dock your iPhone.
My favorite feature of this dock is that it is compatible with cases. There is a removable plate included with the cradle; this ensures that your iPhone fits properly in the dock regardless if you're using a case or not . I use an Apple Bumper on my iPhone 4, and it fits perfectly with the plate removed. If the plate is attached, my iPhone 4 fits nice and snug in its naked state. Although the Seidio Desktop Charging Cradle is advertised for the iPhone 4, I tested it with my 3GS, and it fit just fine with the plate accessory removed.
If you're looking for a charging dock for your iPhone, I recommend checking this one out. In addition to being a stylish way to charge my iPhone, I also enjoy having a slideshow display on it at the same time. The Seidio Desktop Charging Cradle is available in the TiPb Accessory Store.
Orange has developed a t-shirt that also doubles as an iPhone charger. The t-shirt which is called the Orange Sound Charge is in a prototype phase at the moment. Extensive testing will be carried out at this year's Glastonbury Festival.
The eco charging device uses an existing technology in a revolutionary way; by reversing the use of a product called Piezoelectric film, allowing people to charge their mobile phones whilst enjoying their favourite headline act at Glastonbury. Usually found in modern hi-fi speakers, an A4 panel of the modified film is housed inside a t-shirt which then acts much like an oversized microphone by 'absorbing' invisible sound pressure waves. These sound waves are converted via the compression of interlaced quartz crystals into an electrical charge, which is fed into an integral reservoir battery that in turn charges most makes and models of mobile phone. As the 'device' is worn, a steady charge is able to be dispensed into the phone via a simple interchangeable lead which fits most handsets.
Orange believe that a sound level of around 80dB (which is roughly the ambient noise level of a busy high street) could produce up to 6 watt hours of power. That should be enough to charge up your iPhone which needs 5 watts. The panel in the t-shirt is removable so unlike most festival attendees, you can wash your t-shirt if you need to! Take a look at the video after the break then let us know what you think in the comments!
The Griffin PowerJolt dual USB charger solves an age old problem: you and your significant other have both depleted the batteries on your iPhone and yet your car only offers one charging socket. Who gets to use it? Or worse: you're in the middle of that big family summer trip and not only have both parents worn down their iPhones, all the kids in the back are near empty on their iPod touches as well. Do you get your internet or do they get the movies that keep them quiet and you sane for the remainder of the trip?
While I can't claim the Griffin PowerJolt dual USB charger will save relationships and family trips, this simple adapter will at least hold power hungry creatures at bay for twice as long. Read on to find out how!

The pins are positioned at three points, 120 degrees apart, around the internal diameter of the hole. This arrangement is usually much more economical than making a custom plug. Foolproofing prevents improper loading of a workpiece. The problem is most prevalent with parts that are symmetrical or located concentrically. The simplest way to foolproof a workholder is to position one or two pins in a location that ensures correct orientation. en_550 |

Grab a Button!
Product 1250/1940
Want eight tempting stories full of laughs?
Eight stories based on pickup lines. Each line as cute or cocky as the story it inspires.
Before the Stain Sets In
Kit's designs inspire many. She's a popular interior decorator. Before she knows it, Greg has designs on her.
Biscuits and Gravy
A Georgian honey who calls herself a hash whore at a diner softens the heart of a chef from Oregon.
Danger, Curves Ahead
Some amazing flirtatious banter comes out between Barbie and Tripp in the produce aisle of a grocery store.
A Walk at the Beach
The beauty of a shore side stroll brings out the romance in even the most pragmatic- such as a librarian and a computer programmer.
Morgan and Sarah's relationship goes as swimmingly as the sensual Coi they see swimming in an aquarium. "You look at lot like my next girlfriend," he'd said to her…
Crime and Pleasure
The phrase, "you've been a bad boy, go to my room," came as a surprise to a retired policeman named Billy from a fellow surfer chick named Josephine, an Italian who was full of surprises.
Do a Body Good
Stephanie heard a come-on line at the ball field that left her speechless. Turns out that Todd's fondness of milk and Oreos, isn't the only passion they share.
Puns and Roses
Clete hides his obvious wealth from Melissa and tries to both charm her and throw her off course by his bumpkin display. Eventually his truer self shines through and they feed each other Marsala flavored custard, leaving her breathless.
Coi by Cara Preston
"I just realized you look a lot like my next girlfriend."
Morgan Trower couldn't resist using that line on the woman standing next to him at the checkout in Bass Pro Shops. He'd noticed her gazing at the huge aquarium ten minutes earlier. She'd looked mesmerized by the Coi swimming in it, gracefully fanning around between the coral. With her face reflecting in the glass, it had been like looking at two of her.
Finely chiseled face, long blonde hair, blue eyes intently watching the fish and unaware she was a case in study herself.
"Coi, so close to the word coitus," Morgan mumbled under his breath. Biology had been his minor in college. Sarah blushed under Morgan's gaze.
"They say that fish bring prosperity," he remarked.
"Is that right?" Sarah searched through her purse, digging out money to pay for her hiking boots. "More money would be nice."
"Well, after that smile of yours, I feel richer already," Morgan leaned closer. He adjusted his jeans, which were starting to feel tighter around the groin area. Gazing at Sarah from the back, the view was as pleasing as it was from the front.
A Walk At the Beach by Spike Freemont
He seemed to barrel over the boardwalk towards her, his head down yet his eyes locked on to hers. Those intense, hazel eyes that had nothing to hide. Once he reached her, he paused, seemingly unsure what to say. Then he blurted it out with his hand extended. "Would you hold this while I take a walk?"
She was twenty-eight, worked in Manhattan, and had come to Long Island for a weekend getaway with her friends. They had come to Jones Beach to take a walk with coffee. Marie stood near the railing, waiting for Cherie and Sandy to come out when he'd ambushed her.
"Is that a line you read somewhere or did you make it up?"
He backed up subconsciously. He was not confident around women, but something about her had grabbed him, and forced him to action.
"I read it," he admitted.
She smiled at his embarrassment. It was not because she liked to belittle men, but because he was being honest.
"I'll hold it for you." She agreed, both ignorant and unaware of the hidden meaning of her statement.

Volume 3, Number 8 |
Beaver Creek, located in Taney County, Missouri, was a pictureseque valley a long time ago. Among the early settlers here was Richard Pearce. Taney County was organized in 1832 with Theopolis Bass as County and Circuit Clerk, and John Miller, as his deputy. James Gideon was sheriff; William LeBus, deputy sheriff; James Archer, Assessor; and William Chestnut, Presiding Judge. The seat of justice was located on the John Rice farm, at the mouth of Bull Creek; the Court House was constructed of cedar legs which were afterwards used for a school house. The first circuit court was held here.
The first farm opened in this country was the A.C. Fisher farm near Walnut Shade. On this farm, the first blacksmith shop was constructed in this county. This land was settled by a man named Neal. On the Cripples farm on Swan Creek, the settlement of this land which dates back to early times, was the scene of the first murder in the county. That was killing of Bill Archer by Hiram Killmore.
The first couple united in marriage in the territory of Taney County was Carl Nucum and Miss Viney Garner, in the year 1829, Rev. C.C. Pinkney officiated. Others that followed soon afterwards; Wm. Le Bus to Miss Johnnie Barlett; Robin Barber to Miss Barbara Hodges; Caleb A. Edwards to Miss Annie Hodges, Rev. Willie Kiethley, officiating. James Kiethley to Miss Susan Hodges, Esq., John May officiated.
The Kiethley Cave in Taney County has an interesting history. It dates back to the early 1840's. This freak of nature was situated in the picturesque mountains of Roark, and was first discovered by two noted pioneers, Jacob Dewey and Zedekiah Tucker, who were attacked by a pack of both bear and dogs as they were exploring. Rev. Willis Keithley, one of the early settlers of Taney County, selected this cave for his last resting place. He first built an arch of mason work at its entrance and secured it with an inner and outer door. Inside of this was a spacious hall where he chiseled out a vault. Mr. Keithley died suddenly and did not reveal the whereabouts of his treasure, containing $5,000 in gold, which he had dug out of the mines of California.
To the early settlers of White River country, various ways were devised to capture wild turkeys alive. The most common method was to catch them in pens, and hundreds of thousands were caught this way. When it came to fishing, they killed all they wanted with harpoons.
Aaron Anderson located on White River in 1822. There were only a few settlers there at the time and they lived on wild meat and wild honey-with a small bit of bread now and then for variety. These pioneers were compelled to fight the wild animals at the doors of their cabins.

Listen to Justin Timberlake on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - If there was any concern that Justin Timberlake may have lost his musical mojo over the years he's been away acting, the numbers speak for themselves.
After releasing his first single in six years, "Suit & Tie" featuring JAY Z, last Monday at midnight, the song has gone straight to the top spot on iTunes charts in 31 different countries, including United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden, France, and Brazil. In another 54, it is sitting pretty in The Top 10. That's especially impressive considering that JT only told the world he was "ready" to release new music just three days before he dropped the single!
Click here to purchase "Suit & Tie" ft. JAY Z at Amazon MP3!
"Suit & Tie," which initially earned mixed reviews from fans, also went on to break U.S. radio airplay records: biggest song debut, airplay increase, and the biggest audience increase for a solo artist ever.
And if all that wasn't enough, the track also gave the Social Network actor his best first week sales of his career, beating out "SexyBack" with 310,078 digital downloads.

Community policing is a philosophy that promotes organizational strategies, which support the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques, to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime.
Community Policing is comprised of three key components:
Community Partnerships
Collaborative partnerships between law enforcement agencies and the individuals and organizations they serve increase trust in police and help to develop solutions to problems. These partnerships can include other government agencies, community members, nonprofits and service providers, private businesses, and media.
Organizational Transformation
Organizational transformation involves aligning organizational management, structure, personnel, and information systems to support community partnerships and proactive problem solving.
Problem Solving
Problem solving includes the process of engaging in proactive and systematic examination of identified problems to develop and rigorously evaluate effective responses. Rather than responding to crime only after it occurs, community policing encourages agencies to proactively develop solutions to the immediate underlying conditions contributing to public safety problems.
COPS Collaboration Toolkit: How to Build,
Fix, and Sustain Productive Partnerships This toolkit provides practical guidance to law enforcement agencies as they develop and sustain partnerships that support community policing. The toolkit will benefit law enforcement personnel, community-based organizations, educators, youth, government officials, and others seeking to combine efforts to reduce crime and social disorder problems. |
Partnering with Businesses to Address
Public Safety Problems For businesses in the United States, the annual cost of crime is in the billions of dollars. This guide reviews the impact of crime on business and the roles businesses play in contributing to crime. It presents and analyzes types of partnerships and strategies for forming them. It concludes with examples of businesspolice partnerships and programs, some that are known to be effective and others that are still largely untested. |
Shifting and Sharing Responsibility for Public Safety Problems Although the police effectively address many public safety problems with their authority and expertise, they have come to depend on others to aid them in addressing the conditions that underlie crime and disorder. With such help, the police can more effectively prevent and control such problems. This guide examines how the police can persuade private citizens, businesses, or the government to respond to common crime and disorder problems. |
Advancing Community Policing Through Community Governance: A Framework Document As law enforcement agencies strengthen and advance their community policing efforts they often call on colleagues in other departments of their city government. Many city administrators and elected officials are also seeking ways to increase community involvement in local government matters more systematically. These efforts are part of a philosophical approach to local governance referred to as community governance. This publication details this philosophy and describes its implementation in five communities across the country. |
Bringing Victims Into Community Policing This publication focuses on the role of crime victims in advancing community policing. It includes first responder guides to dealing with victims, a "model" policy for the prevention of repeat victimization, and the benefits of developing relationships between the police, crime victims, and victim organizations. |
Community Policing Defined This guide describes the elements and sub-elements that fall under the community policing philosophy. It covers the range of collaborative partnerships that exist between policing agencies and the individuals and organizations they serve; outlines the process of engaging in the proactive and systematic examination of identified problems to develop effective responses; and illustrates how to align organizational management, structure, personnel, and information systems to support community partnerships and proactive problem solving. |
Community Policing Explained: A Guide for Local Governments This guide not only assists communities in determining what questions to ask about community policing but also provides resources and guidance in how to tailor community policing to community needs. It also helps guide local government managers and administrators in how to measure the effectiveness of a community policing approach. |
Community Policing for Mayors: A Municipal Service Model for Community Policing and Beyond Many local elected officials, managers, and community members ask if their agency is a community policing agency. While there are many definitions of community policing, this short guide provides some direction, discussing what community policing looks like in practice, how it integrates with traditional policing strategies, and how it relates to the broader government service model. Included are some tips for how elected officials can locally promote this model. |
Effective Policing and Crime Prevention: A Problem-Oriented Guide... This guide can help local government executives understand how local government in general, and local police in particular, can more effectively meet the challenge of establishing public safety. It discusses general and specific approaches to crime and disorder and the local government executives role in policing and crime prevention. |
Implementing Community Policing: Lessons from 12 Agencies What does it mean when a police agency says it practices community policing? This report explores questions like this by describing and analyzing the experiences of local law enforcement agencies and lessons learned as they work to define, make sense of, and implement community policing. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to implementing community policing, this report offers police officials at all levels ideas that can be used in their own organizations. |
Innovations in Police Recruitment and Hiring— Hiring in the Spirit of Service This report shares how five sites that participated in a COPS Officefunded project, titled Hiring in the Spirit of Service, implemented significant change into existing hiring processes to recruit and select law enforcement officers that reflect a more service-oriented field. This publication discusses how each site progressed to meet its goals and describes the challenges encountered along the way as well as lessons learned. |
Knowledge Management in Policing Within three chapters, this publication introduces the concept of knowledge management in policing, documents and examines its use in a West Coast police department, and outlines a series of guidelines for adopting and implementing knowledge management as an organizational development and management strategy. |
Assessing Responses to Problems: An Introductory Guide for Police-Problem Solvers This guide summarizes knowledge about information gathering and analysis techniques that might assist police at any of the four main stages of a problem-oriented project: scanning, analysis, response, and assessment. Extensive technical and scientific literature covers each technique. |
Crime Analysis for Problem Solvers in 60 Small Steps Intended for crime analysts and other police officials, this manual covers the basics of problem-oriented policing and shows how many new concepts developed to analyze crime patterns can sharpen understanding of crime and disorder problems. It also shows how the 25 techniques of situational crime prevention can greatly expand the problem-solving capacity of police.. |
Implementing Responses to Problems This guide addresses why responses do or do not get properly implemented and offers suggestions to better ensure that they do. The guide is divided according to the four key stages of implementation: pre-implementation, which addresses factors to consider; planning, which covers implementation mechanics and systems; implementation, which focuses on putting in place, monitoring, and adjusting responses; and post-implementation learning, which discusses successes and failures. |
Problem-Solving Tips: A Guide to Reducing Crime and Disorder through Problem-Solving Partnerships This guide contains information and insights into the process of implementing a problem-solving approach. It takes the reader step by step through solving problems, offers examples from the field, and provides additional resources. |
Researching a Problem This guide summarizes knowledge about information gathering and analysis techniques that might assist police at any of the four main stages of a problem-oriented project: scanning, analysis, response, and assessment. This tool helps users to define their problem, conduct Internet searches, get advice from experts, visit libraries, and evaluate their primary sources of information. |

This past March I co-founded a (for-profit) NV corporation, which created a Facebook App in the C2C social gifting space. This software, however, can be used in multiple industries, and I wanted to demonstrate this by applying the core concept to NGOs and 'donations', where I think there would be a disproportionate interest and demand.
The problem is, even though we already developed the core software (which has been beta tested) and we are in talks with a well respected National/International charity (with ~400,000 Facebook fans) to pilot it's use in this industry, and we seem to have traction with them… we do NOT yet actually have the money to tweak the software to use it in this fashion, even though it's not that much, and I think $5k should cover it.
But I'm personally tapped out just getting our main App 'mobile friendly' right now, Angels aren't going to touch it (and neither will the micro-funding sites) because there is no real money to be made in the non-profit industry… so I'm considering forming a 501(c)(3) organization myself, with hopes that might bring with it some funding options (and press) that are not open to us right now, so we can move forward. But, if I want to do that, now I need another $5k just to get the non-profit shell up and functional, so now I need more money…
Any thoughts, feedback, rules of thumb, advice (or even loosely masked shallow insults) are welcome:) Am I just making red tape for myself here? Or am I really creating options? Maybe I just need to pitch the idea to some Internet savvy philanthropists and see if anyone wants in? I got software, mockups, and I think a big brand partner... I need $5k to make it happen, and then I can replicate for other non-profits.
I've seen worse propositions.
