Testimony began Friday in the trial of Seaside resident Sunny Nguyen, accused of killing his children's grandmother in her Pacific Grove home.
Nguyen, 28, is charged with murdering Alisal High School special education teacher Judith Salazar, 46, on the night of Nov. 21, 2010.
Standing before a projected photo of a vibrant-looking Salazar, Deputy District Attorney Gary Thelander said Nguyen killed her by smashing her head with a saucepan, stabbing her in the chest and cutting her throat.
As police surrounded Salazar's house, Nguyen blocked doors and cut his own throat, Thelander said. The defendant's two small children were found awake and unharmed in the living room.
Defense attorney Richard Rosen declined to give an opening statement, but has the option to do so after prosecutors rest their case.
Salazar's daughter Amanda Roger told a solemn courtroom that Nguyen was a good father to the couple's children and had never been violent or threatened her.
But he often preferred being out with friends over taking care of his family, Roger said, and that habit, combined with his drinking problems, eventually led to the couple's split.
Roger said she and the children moved in with Salazar, and both women shared in caretaking. Still, Roger said, she had hopes the couple might reunite.
Roger broke up with Nguyen over the phone while he was working in Connecticut, she said, but he returned to the Monterey Peninsula about a week before Salazar was killed, hoping to reconcile.
After his return, Nguyen came over in the mornings to help with the children, Roger said, but Salazar told her daughter that Nguyen was not welcome in her home, a modest two-bedroom house on 17 Mile Drive near Lighthouse Avenue.
Roger's father, Jesse Roger, testified that hours before Salazar was killed, he and Amanda went to the Seaside house where Nguyen stayed with his mother.
Jesse Roger said Nguyen began to get on his knees and was "begging me, almost" for a second chance.
"I said, 'Don't do that.' I told him it was over between him and my daughter."
He told Nguyen he shouldn't go to Salazar's home anymore, he said, and when he walked off to join his daughter waiting in the car, Nguyen followed him, still asking for another chance.
"I said, 'No, it's over. Enough,'" Jesse Roger said.
Taxi driver Ubaldo Narciso testified that he picked up a man from the same house around 9:30 p.m., shortly after Amanda Roger and her father said they left.
The customer was wearing dark pajama bottoms, a black shirt and no shoes, Narciso said. After a stop along the way, he delivered the man to 17 Mile Drive. The man went inside a house there and didn't come out. Narciso called a taxi dispatcher once he decided he had been stiffed for the $40 fare.
The dispatcher called police.
More and more officers arrived at Salazar's house, Narciso said, and he began to wonder what was going on.
He asked an officer, "Who is he?" and said he was told, "He's deceased."
Pacific Grove police Officer Jeff Haas, who was the first to see Salazar's body in a bedroom with Nguyen's slumped figure nearby, testified that he believed neither person had a pulse. Both bodies had stab wounds and were lying in pools of blood.
Paramedics pronounced Salazar dead at the scene but realized Nguyen was still alive, despite a "significant" knife gash across his throat, he said.
Haas rode alongside Nguyen as the ambulance raced to Monterey Regional Airport, where a medical helicopter was waiting.
During the ride, Haas said, Nguyen "came to" and began to speak, asking where he was.
"He said, 'Where are my kids?'"
Nguyen called out his daughter's name, Haas said, followed by, "My baby."
Testimony continues Monday in the courtroom of Judge Mark Hood.

I hate to tell you this Otis but, the fringe is not where you find most of those who are opposed to Obama and his policies. It's in the average middle class neighborhoods where parents work hard; manage their current finances responsibly while saving for their children's college education and their own retirement. You don't hear much from these folks because they're too busy working and leading productive lives. These are the parents that raise their kids to grow up with a sense of personal responsibility and not rely on others to pay their way. You definitely don't read about them in the Commercial Appeal because quite frankly, they're dull but, there are a lot of them out there. Democrats were very successful this time around in loading the masses up in vans, transporting them to the polls and telling them how to vote. However, I think that four more years of failure should be about all it takes and we as a nation will cycle back around to conservatism just like we did in the 80s after Carter's dismal failure. Obama's brand of socialism is such an un-American concept that it will ultimately wear thin over a period of time.

I've been thinking for a while and thought, If people can create an idea they like, why not see if the developers like it too?
I've always wanted a team based cops and robbers game. The two sides would spawn; one at a safehouse, the other at the station, and converge on a point, the bank. Police would re-spawn and criminals would not, because police can call in backup. The robbery would ensue and eventually turn into a pursuit to an escape area. I think this would offer very good team based gameplay.
What do you think of my idea, and/or do you have one of your own?

Sister Constance: The wealth of 80 years in religious life
Marking 80 years of religious life was Sister Mary Constance Fitzgerald, 97, who was joined by her sister and brother: Sister Anne Gertrude Fitzgerald, 96, who last year celebrated her 75th anniversary as a CSJ, and Redemptorist Father Bill Fitzgerald, 93, and a priest for 68 years (42 of them in Brazil as a missionary). No doubt they were joined in spirit by Sister Catherine Anita Fitzgerald, who died several years ago, at age 86, having been a CSJ for 67 years with many years served as librarian at Mount St. Mary's College.
That's 290 years which the four Fitzgeralds have given collectively in ministry to the people of God, with Sister Constance still adding to that total as she tutors students at Mount St. Mary's and assists a religious from India who is taking a course in writing.

Product Description
About the Author
For almost ten years Robert A. Boyd has been creating images of temples around the world in a unique fine-art style. A professional photographer for nearly twenty years, Robert once traveled the world photographing for clients. One day his mother-in-law expressed her longing for some beautiful pictures of the temple. She suggested that in his travels he should use his talents to photograph the temples in an artistic style. As soon as he turned his viewfinder towards this objective, it seemed as if new, beautiful scenes were now there, ready for him, every time he went to photograph.
The temple has long played a significant role in the life of Robert and his wife Eleah. Particularly, the passing of their first child, and the subsequent adoption and sealing of 3 additional children, have driven home the importance of the temple to the Boyd family. The blessings we receive in the temple have been a great source of peace and joy to them, and that has served to endear a great love of the temple in their hearts.
Today Robert is fortunate to work full time both creating temple art, and also overseeing the fine art printing process for his own art work, and that of other artists. He feels very blessed to be a part of something that is so meaningful to so many, and he hopes to share his feelings of the beauty of the temple as he strives to illuminate his photographic art with peace, light and balance. He lives in Utah with his wife and their five beautiful children
by Bo - reviewed on April 07, 2013
This picture has very vivid colors, but the lights are overexposed just enough to give you that nice warm evening feel you sometimes get at dusk on the perfect day. The Temple looks amazing in the backdrop of the nature that surrounds it. This picture has become the crown of our houses collection, we constantly have guests just staring at it with no words to say. Highly suggest! Worth every dollar spent. Looks amazing if you get a light on it at night or dark days.

By: Henry Louis Gates Jr. Posted: July 22 2013 12:59 AM 0 Frederick Bruce Thomas (National Archives, NARA II) Editor's note: For those who are wondering about the retro title of this black-history series, please take a moment to learn about historian Joel A. Rogers, author of the 1934 book 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro With Complete Proof, to whom these "amazing facts" are an homage. (The Root) -- Amazing Fact About the Negro No. 40: How did the son of a former slave defy the color bar to become a wealthy fixture of European nightlife during the Jazz Age? If, after the First World War, you had been an American tourist looking for a good time in Constantinople, late capital of the Holy Roman Empire, then of the crumbling Ottoman sultanate, you likely would've been directed across the Golden Horn to one of the popular Russian-Western, European-style "cafés chantant," where you could order a drink (outside of Prohibition), sample the finest cuisine, listen to all kinds of music and dance. In between spots, you might've been swept up by the views of the Bosporus, perhaps the sound of praying across the ancient city, but at some point, hearing the weird yet disarmingly familiar sounds of that original American art form, jazz, your ears and feet would've whisked you off again. You would've known you were there when, in a crowd of British sailors, secularized Turks, Levantines and other international seekers, you were greeted by one even more exotic yet familiar: the man responsible for importing jazz to Byzantium, Frederick Bruce Thomas, the "ebony black," in one visitor's words, with his signature black tie and top hat. Based on his years in the business, working his way up from stateside waiter to Russian maitre d'hôtel and club owner, across three continents, Thomas would've known all he needed to know about you in an instant. But whatever stories he would've shared about where he was from (Mississippi; Louisville,Ky.; Brooklyn, N.Y.; Chicago) or what his intentions were (to stay, to return to Russia to look after his investments or to go "home" to educate his sons in American schools), you'd never know the whole truth about him -- at least not until 2013. Many contemporaries knew Frederick Bruce Thomas by his Russian name, Fyodor Fyodorovich Tomas. When I first heard of him a few weeks ago in an email from his current (and only) biographer, Vladimir Alexandrov, a professor at Yale, I knew I was in for an amazing story of "an indomitable character," as Alexandrov later described him over the phone, "and how he managed to reinvent himself repeatedly in the face of world historical changes," from the Jim Crow South to the Russian Revolution to World War I and the rise of the Turkish Republic. Early into an already-hot summer, reading Alexandrov's new book, The Black Russian, transported me across 25 different locales, all part of Thomas' improvisational life mapped out on the book's endpaper. It also filled me with wonder and sadness. How had I not heard of Thomas before? What might he have accomplished if he'd gotten out of Constantinople with a new U.S. passport? Could he have done it again in Paris or even Harlem to keep the Renaissance going? Yet if he had returned to the U.S. -- a big if -- would he have been able to stand life back over the color line, or gone insane or -- with a white wife and biracial children -- been arrested or worse? Vladimir Alexandrov has done a remarkable job piecing together the puzzle of Thomas' life (in fact, Alexandrov said the detective work became as compelling to him as the man himself, as was the writing), but he readily admits there are some secrets we will never know: among them, the first time Thomas heard jazz music and what his real view was of the racism he encountered repeatedly and very harshly in Constantinople, from American tourists and, more consequentially, U.S. consulate officials. As Alexandrov put it over the phone, by the time Thomas arrived in Turkey in 1919, "He had lived away from the States for 20 years and had had little contact with Americans, but was he ever far enough away to feel aloof from Jim Crow racism, or was it something more visceral still grabbing at his soul?" Thomas' Greatest Secrets Of all the secrets Frederick Bruce Thomas kept under his hat, for life, two stand out as most impactful. The first was the death of his father, Lewis, a former slave and landowner who had been swindled out of 600-plus acres in Coahoma County, Miss., by a white neighbor (the litigation would last years, befitting a Dickens tome). In late October 1890, just a few months after moving the family to Memphis, where he took work as a flagman for the railroad, Lewis Thomas was hacked to death in bed by a vengeful black tenant angry over Lewis' interference in his love life. Not only did Frank Shelton's ax slice Lewis' face and arm, it cleaved his victim's 17-year-old son's past and future. Just a short time later, Frederick Bruce Thomas, who'd only known life in the South, hopped on the rails (presumably on a Jim Crow car), first to Arkansas, then to St. Louis, Chicago and Brooklyn -- anywhere, it seemed, but home.

(5) Restoring Cheonggyecheon
During the mayoral campaign, and then after assuming office, I tirelessly explained the details of the Cheonggyecheon project. When I said that the project would be complete in two years, people were skeptical. (Some quipped that my old nickname, Bulldozer, was especially apt now.) Yet it wasn't an unrealistic goal: with the preparatory work already underway, the actual demolition and restoration would take place over a period of two years. Before the summer monsoon season, we would run a preliminary test of how the stream would hold up, make corrections, and finalize the project. My intention was to minimize the inconvenience to the residents of Seoul and to all others whose livelihoods would be affected by the project. The construction itself was fairly straightforward. We had to demolish the expressways, bury the water pipes and sewage lines below, and rearrange the streambed while landscaping the surrounding areas. If the stream had not been in the middle of a city of ten million people, the entire project could be finished in less than six months. As it was, however, the project was akin to closing down entire traffic lanes and relocating thousands of shops on New York's Madison Avenue for two years (Although the shops on Cheonggyecheon were definitely more modest than the ones on Madison Avenue). The immediate vicinity had more than ten thousand shops, represented by close to a thousand unions and owners' organizations. On top of this, there were hundreds of competing interests at work; shop owners and those who rented the space had differing, often conflicting, desires. For instance, those selling fashion apparel and the like welcomed the change; the ones selling hardware and household appliances opposed it. We set out to convince them all. To do this, I set up a special division within the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG). Its task was to listen to the concerns of the shop owners, explain the need for restoring the stream, and describe how we intended to go about it. If the vendors and shop owners had concerns, then the team would deal with them. Every morning at 8:30 our team members would set out to visit the shops and vendors. Each evening, the team would come back to the office, write up reports, and handle the many requests made by the shopkeepers. This was our way of earning trust. After a while, the shopkeepers would call our staff whenever they had a complaint or needed something done. The staff did their best to help them in whatever way they could. From July 2002 until June 2003 our team met with the shopkeepers a total of 4,200 times. We resolved close to 1,000 requests. As a result of such strenuous effort on our part, the shopkeepers and various organizations finally agreed to our plan just fifteen days before the scheduled start of the project. Now, with the necessary administrative measures in place, we were set to begin our version of the Big Dig. Adjacent roads were expanded to allow for more traffic, but we also took measures to curb drive-alone cars by urging drivers to take public transportation. Public transportation system Seoul's public transportation system was undergoing its own transformation, aided by the adoption of the latest technologies, so that traffic in the downtown area would not become overly congested. One-way streets were designated, and a central control center was created to monitor and adjust traffic patterns, depending on the flow at any given moment. Korea's state-of-the-art information technology helped us immensely. Team members worked around the clock and ran countless simulations using the latest computer technology to prepare for all contingencies. The simulations warned us to expect some initial confusion and congestion, but they also predicted that the situation would resolve itself within two weeks. Seoul's extensive subway system was helpful, too. We allotted extra cars during peak hours to encourage greater usage of the subway during the morning and evening rushes. In the end we were fortunate, for the residents of Seoul adapted quickly to the new environment. Credit must be given to them for their patience and understanding. Koreans are infamous for being short-tempered and always rushing from one place to another. However, Koreans are also good at recognizing when an inconvenience is worth their trouble. Once they understand the value of something, they gladly bear any inconvenience to achieve the goal. Landmark The people of Seoul were now fully convinced that what we were trying to do was well worth the trouble. Nine days after the starting date, once we saw that all was going well with the new traffic patterns, I ordered the commencement of the demolition of the expressway. As promised, the Cheonggyecheon stream was restored in two years. For the first time in decades, people were able to enjoy fresh air and clean water in the heart of Seoul. Even migratory birds came back, and the residents found a place to stroll and relax. Office workers began to commute on foot. During weekends, people came out with their families and friends. Cheonggyecheon quickly became a favorite tourist destination and a landmark of Seoul. World-renowned artists came to our city to perform, world-class art exhibits soon opened all across Seoul's many museums, and people started to appreciate the beauty that Seoul had to offer. Because of Cheonggyecheon, surrounding neighborhoods also began to come to life. Traditionally, the downtown area was known as the old part of town. Rarely, if ever, would young people explore its rich history and quaint charm. Now the various streets in downtown Seoul were swamped by young couples out on dates and by teens armed with digital cameras. If the area south of the Han River, with its chic architecture and exclusive boutiques, was considered the hip part of town, then downtown Seoul became known for its historical beauty, fusion of old and new, and classy sophistication. The project quickly redefined central Seoul as a hip part of town all its own. The project also gained international acclaim. At the 2003 Venice Biennale it won the Best Public Administration award for urban construction and was given extensive coverage by Time magazine (May 15, 2006). A documentary about the project was filmed by the Discovery channel and was aired globally. Several European broadcasters took an inside look at the implications of the project and dubbed it a success, describing it as a feat that "killed two birds with one stone," both restoring the environment and fostering sustainable development. With global interest in sustainable growth catching fire, the Cheonggyecheon project served as a model for the future and an example of what urban planning should look like. We were able to show the world that protecting the environment and promoting clean development can go hand in hand. Green Seoul With more than ten million residents, Seoul is one of the world's most populated metropolises. If one includes the Greater Seoul area, the combined population exceeds twelve million. In Seoul alone there are roughly two million registered vehicles, and more than 2.8 million vehicles roam the streets every day. The foundation of the public transportation system is an extensive underground subway that crisscrosses the entire city and its neighboring areas. Buses are also widely accessible. Nonetheless, during my tenure as mayor, private bus companies were continually vying for the most lucrative lines with the greatest number of passengers. The result was a morass of redundant routes served by multiple companies in some areas and a scarcity of public transportation along other, less lucrative routes. The entire public transportation grid was in need of reorganization to improve efficiency. Tackling this issue was, in some ways, even more frustrating than the restoration project at Cheonggyecheon. It meant having to deal with hundreds of private bus companies, and this at times led to nothing short of shouting matches and acrimonious finger-pointing. These were just a few of the issues that I tackled while serving as mayor. It required a tremendous amount of skill for me to settle disputes and bring about amicable solutions. Sometimes it required arm-twisting. But I learned that most of the time, if we were pursuing the right policies, then dedication, clear strategies, and an abundance of patience could take us a long way. With the completion of Cheonggyecheon and the transformation of our bus system, Seoul was fast becoming a model for other cities, particularly in terms of sustainable development. For example, government officials from Vietnam and China visited us to learn about our reforms of the bus transportation grid. This gave us an opportunity to share not only what we had learned but some of the mistakes that we made, too. Chinese and British officials came to study our transportation overhaul as they prepared for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics, respectively. The mayor of Istanbul was one of many foreign dignitaries who personally came to Seoul to learn about our experience. |

Who will be next Arizona college football hall of famer?
Sunday, May 12th, 2013Arizona's Fearsome Foursome of defense — Tedy Bruschi, Rob Waldrop, Chuck Cecil and Ricky Hunley — are now in the College Football Hall of Fame.
Bruschi will be officially inducted in December after being selected by the National Football Foundation on Tuesday.
Former coaches Warren Woodson, Darrell Mudra and Jim Young are also in the Hall of Fame.
Is this Arizona's limit? Four players and three coaches? Where is the "Cactus Comet" Art Luppino? What about Chris McAlister? Dennis Northcutt?
And shouldn't Larry Smith and Dick Tomey get consideration?
Woodson was 26-22-2 in only five years in Tucson from 1951-56. He won the necessary 60 percent of his games because of stints at Arkansas State Teachers University (40-8-3), Hardin-Simmons (57-23-6), New Mexico State (63-36-3) and Trinity (16-5).
Mudra was 200-81-4 in his career but he was 15-27-1 at Arizona and Florida State, the only major college programs he coached. And he lasted only four years total at those institutions. He stockpiled victories at places like Adams State, North Dakota State, Western Illinois, Eastern Illinois and Northern Iowa.
Tomey had a career record of 185-145-7, a winning percentage of .546 that falls below the National Football Foundation's required 60 percent.
Tomey, however, is widely respected among his peers and former players. During his tenure at Arizona, he coached five future NFL first-round draft choices, 20 All-Americans, and 43 Pac-10 first team players. His best teams were in the mid-1990s, highlighted by the "Desert Swarm" defense of which Bruschi and Waldrop helped form into one of the best units in college football history.

Leaves a good amount of lacing on the side of the glass. Smells sugary and fruity, grapes with a good touch of malt. Tastes malty, with caramel and chocolate touches. Mellow grape flavor, finishing with hop and alcohol flavors. Hides the %10.5 ABV well. Malty, hoppy and sweet, great balance. Feels good on the tongue, some barleywines are too sweet, this is just right. An excellent example of the style, extremely well-balanced and drinkable.

The aroma has oxidation notes of cardboard, a fruity ester of fruit, a candy sweet caramel, not too dark. A woody aroma has well. An apple fruity ester. The flavor follows an aggressive bite of alcohol and a cardboard/wet leaf oxidation surrounded by a caramel sweetness, along with an apple peel and cooked apple. The finish is overloaded of pine and herbal notes. The mouthfeel is medium to full. I guess the age hasn't done the beer well. It's boozy, oxidized, and too piney and herbal bitter. Serving type: bottle 12-15-2013 05:36:24 | More by dar482 ThisWangsChungMaryland 3.71/5 rDev -9.1% look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75 I've been looking forward to this for a while. 22 oz bottle into a pint glass. A: Pours a clear dark amber color. The head is a two finger off-white shade. Its texture is excellent, and it has good retention as well. Lacing left behind is rather plentiful. S: It's actually not quite as sweet as I thought it would be. The hop notes here - as expected - are piny and resinous, balanced by its malt sweetness. In particular, it brings caramel, vanilla, and toffee. It's definitely a quality aroma, if a bit more 'standard' than I was expecting. T: The taste works better, I think. Piny hops hit the palate first - there isn't much harshness, and the pine flavor is incredibly vivid. It becomes sweeter after the midtaste and especially on the finish, while its hop flavor becomes almost 'salty' to my twisted palate. The harsher elements of the alcohol are hidden very well. If I have to complain about something, it's that the sweetness here isn't well defined - sure it brings plenty of caramel, toffee, and earth, but not much in the way of dark fruits or candy. There's just the subtlest suggestion of the latter, unfortunately it isn't quite enough. Every once in a while, there's a gentle wisp of chocolate that hits the palate. M: This seems to be even softer than others in the style. Of course, being a barleywine, it's still sweet and heavy. The finish is, naturally, superbly long and mildly bitter. It's more salty than anything. Nonetheless, I'm really impressed how well the booze is hidden. O: Give this a year or two in the cellar and this would kick ass. Right now, though, it's still drinking pretty damn well. If the sweetness was more defined, then it would be killer immediately.

I had absolutely no idea what to expect prior to opening this one. A: Dark brown/amber. Almost a crimson color. The head is fairly substantial. S: Interesting aroma. Hops and grapefruit immediately jump out to me. Maybe some malt. T: The alcohol really stands out. Caramel sweetness is there for a moment before the INTENSELY hoppy aftertaste kicks in. Honestly, I don't find it very pleasant. F: Medium bodied. More carbonated than I expected. O: Not sure that I like this one. I wanted to try something new and definitely accomplished that but this is not really what I look for in a beer. EDIT: I have since been told that I should have had this at a warmer temperature (I drank it at refridgerator temperature) so maybe I'll try it again sometime.

Piney and earthy hops combine with caramel malts and some alcohol. Fairly complex T: Follows the nose. Starts off with a mix of pine, earth, and spicy hops followed by the big malt presence which shows off some caramel sweetness and toffee. Alcohol comes in shortly after the maltiness, and adds a light spicy fruitiness. Finishes with a bit of maltiness M: Medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation O: A nice American barleywine that is well put together and has a great balance between malt, hops, and alcohol. A perfect winter sipper, and a great candidate for aging.

Through its official blog Microsoft has announced that the x86-flavored Surface tablet, which runs Windows 8 Pro (the ARM-based Surface RT is loaded with Windows RT), will arrive in January, priced at $899 (64 GB model) and $999 (128 GB). Set to have about half the battery life of the Surface RT, the upcoming device is equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor and has a 10.6-inch (1920 x 1080) ClearType display supporting both finger and pen input, 4 GB of RAM, 802.11 b/g/n/ WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, a micro SDXC card slot, two 720p HD LifeCams, stereo speakers, an USB 3.0 port, a mini DisplayPort output, and a kickstand. The Surface with Windows 8 Pro is 0.53 inches thick, has a VaporMg casing, and is backed by a one-year warranty.
I dont think they actually mean its an x86 version of windows 8. They probably use the 'x86' to distinguish it from the other surface tablet already on the market that only supports apps from the store, and no 'x86' programs.
x86 is loosely used to differentiate this from the ARM RISC architecture. Of course it is going to use 64bit (x86-64) since they stuffed a Core i5 and 4GB of RAM in there.
Nomenklatura....... aaaaah By the way, it comes with displayport?????????? Flogging a dead horse why?????????? Ah, maybe they want Apple users to plug the Surface into their weird setups?!
How is DisplayPort a dead horse? HDMI is a pile of suck because anytime you connect your computer to a reasonably priced TV, your computer goes "OMG IT'S A TV MUST NOT SET PROPER SCALING AND 1:1 PIXEL RATIO LET'S MAKE THE PICTURE LOOK AS TERRIBLE AS POSSIBLE HERP DERP" so I'd rather have DisplayPort anyway. Sure, it isn't widely used, but it's better than a standard where 98% of TVs don't even have the right EDID and go nuts when a computer is connected to them via HDMI.
Maybe, but I fell never the need to use DisplayPort, well not even the need to look WTF it is! But I know macheads use it more (necessarily mostly for lack of other slu...., sorry slots.)
Displayport is simply a newer and better standard. It supports higher bitrates, daisy chaining of displays, and imo the connector is designed a lot better. I'd use it over HDMI/DVI/VGA any day, if only more display manufacturers used it.
A long time ago, I when I was in school, I used to have this calculator: When a tablet comes out with a nice cover/stand like the ipad one, but with a flex keyboard like this on the inside of the cover... I'll be a buyer.
Technically DisplayPort is marvelous, but it is just a minority thing, so that is why i WONDER why it is included in a product conceived for the masses (windows tablets and phones must save MS!) On the other hand, I already could try a W8 x86 tablet the other week, it runs sweeeeet. If this keyboard is not a flop it could well be a full substitute of the laptop as known until now.
Because with a relatively cheap adaptor(10-15 dollar) you can convert the displayport output to whatever you like. Anandtech wrote quite a nice review of the surface, with 2 pages dedicated to the two types of keyboards that come with the surface.
hehe that's quite expensive. samsung's RT tablet also costs a lot (650eur) http://www.mimovrste.com/artikel/2720006724/tablicni-racunalnik-samsung-ativ-tab-p8510#tech
Are you kidding me dude? Displayport is better than HDMI in every way, it supports higher bitrate, has more bandwidth, and has cool features like multiple wireless displays. Displayport is not a MAC port, it is a VESA standard. Displayport was created as a standard long before Apple started using it. HDMI is also limited to 1080p in most implementations - case in point, all ultrabooks on the market currently use mini HDMI and WILL NOT display 2560x1600 via external port. Only HDMI 1.4a supports higher than 1080p, yet every implementation in ultrabooks for some reason will not support higher than 1080p. I've tried many times - Displayport doesn't have this problem. Your opinion is quite uninformed. -- HDMI is garbage, and DP is superior in every way. The fact that there are 10 billion implementation versions of HDMI doesn't help matters, either; good luck finding an HDMI implementation that isn't restricted to a crappy 1080p resolution. I look forward to the surface pro, it might be the first windows solution that will actually be usable at home on my Dell u3011.
10.6 screen and an i5? Why not add a Invidia 690 with SLI and really jack the price up. For such a small screen it seems over powered and over priced. I would buy one if the screen was at least 18"+
expensive. most serious software is not designed for this form factor yet, so as of right now this is a $999 screw-around-on-the-internet tablet.
4 hours of awkward x86 softwares navigation thanks to them not being optimized for touch. Yeah, thanks but no thanks. http://www.ghacks.net/2012/11/30/surface-pro-price-and-battery-life-disappoint/
Well I think the price is likely quite reasonable but I would have to see full specs to be sure. I have an Asus Eee Slate EP121 Core i5 Windows tablet that I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro. Its older but still reasonably powerful. It has a 12.1" touch screen with Wacom digitizer (pen input) but given its age the resolution is much lower at 1280x768. When the Asus EP121 was new it cost about ~$1100 USD for the 64GB mSATA SSD version,…. I like the Surface Pro in concept but I don't like the kickstand or the concept of their attachable keyboard. I much prefer the Asus Transform type of keyboard dock that has a battery, USB ports and the ability to angle the display at varying degrees,…..not just one angle like the Surface kickstand. Also I really don't think these attachable keyboards and kickstand design would work very well on an actual lap,…..its just not really designed for that,…..

What was the take away from last week's Autodesk summit in San Francisco, where the software giant introduced its 2013 digital content suites? Further interoperability and cloud computing.
Indeed, chief executive Carl Bass stressed over and over again the importance of Autodesk 360 (formerly known as Autodesk Cloud), which now provides even more cloud benefits to subscription customers, including additional storage and the ability to access cloud services for rendering, simulation, design optimization and energy analysis. Subscription customers now have up to 25 GB of storage and between 100 and 500 cloud units per user, based on the suite edition they purchased, providing a competitive edge to respond to changing business requirements.
Bass suggested that with such an "infinitely scalable resource," this game-changer is akin to dry cleaning: "How much do I want to pay?" He maintained that cloud computing is the future of how simulation will be done, among other highly complex tasks, and part of a new eco-system in which "you're the center of computing, community and collaboration." He termed it "mobile cloud and social all in one place," and predicted that the iPad will replace the PC.
Not surprisingly, the concept of cloud rendering is being aggressively adopted in the entertainment industry by, among others, Atomic Fiction, the spinoff VFX boutique from Robert Zemeckis' ImageMovers Digital. In fact, Atomic Fiction is currently using a workable and efficient cloud rendering system on a project by project basis, and is in the midst of doing the VFX for Zemeckis' return to live action, Flight. Co-founders Kevin Baillie and Ryan Tudhope were present at the summit.
As for the latest version of the popular DCC suite (Maya, 3ds Max, Softimage, MotionBuilder and Mudbox), which is shipping this spring and bundled together in an "Ultimate" package), Autodesk announced a direct link between Maya and MotionBuilder and crowd simulation in Softimage as a way of competing with Massive. In addition, enhanced interoperability is being stressed among all of their software programs and various bundles.
Marc Petit, Autodesk's SVP of Media & Entertainment, reiterated the goal of finding new ways of standardizing and optimizing VFX workflows to "take full advantage of globally distributed production resources." To that end, Autodesk is working with the major studios "to develop and package workflows that address these challenges." Virtual production and 3-D are particularly earmarked to expand the storytelling and visual potential in a post-Avatar paradigm shift.
Among the highlights of this expanded interoperability:
Autodesk HumanIK Interoperability with CAT (Character Animation Toolkit) provides a single-step, round-trip workflow to transfer 3ds Max CAT bipedal characters between 3ds Max, Maya and MotionBuilder. Enhanced interoperability between Maya and 3ds Max also enables artists to move 3D data between the applications in a single step.
All editions of the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites now include Autodesk SketchBook Designer2013 concept art software. This product enables artists to explore and present new ideas for characters, props and environments using an intuitive hybrid paint and vector toolset.
Autodesk Maya 2013 delivers powerful new toolsets for dynamic simulation, animation and rendering that offer new levels of creativity, while every day productivity enhancements help artists work faster. In addition, the Open Data initiative introduced in Maya 2013 offers tools to help facilitate parallel workflows and better complexity handling. You can now create more realistic hair and other curve-based dynamics with the new Maya nHair module for the Maya Nucleus unified simulation framework. nHair interacts bidirectionally with both Maya nCloth and MayanParticles, so you can create complex simulations with multiple dynamic entities all working together. Viewport 2.0 offers a higher fidelity interactive environment, so you can evaluate your work more easily in order to make better creative decisions. A new Node Editor helps you more easily create, edit and debug node networks. You can additionally take advantage of the open source AMD Bullet Physics engine to simulate both soft and rigid bodies in a single high-performance system. Featuring discrete and continuous 3D collision detection, Bullet enables you to create highly realistic simulations of cloth, rope, deformable objects and ragdoll skeletons.
Autodesk 3ds Max 2013 delivers ActiveShade support in the NVIDIA iray renderer; a new render pass system; and enhanced interoperability with Adobe After Effects and Adobe Photoshop software. The 2013 version also offers new tools for motion graphics, 3D animation and simulation.
Autodesk Softimage 2013 delivers a new high-fidelity interactive environment and powerful new creative toolsets that include a new CrowdFX simulation feature set, along with enhanced modeling, animation, physics and selection tools.
Autodesk MotionBuilder 2013 helps production teams more reliably acquire, aggregate and refine data, and offers a new nonlinear editing paradigm for virtual production. Highlights are the option to record live motion capture data directly to disk, a flexible new HUD (heads-up display), a floating viewer and support for broadcast WAVE files.
Autodesk Mudbox 2013 helps artists create complex production-ready scenes with greater ease, with the Gigatexel engine and the ability to work efficiently with significantly more objects. In addition, Mudbox 2013 offers new multipurpose curves, support for edge sharpness data and enhanced interoperability with Adobe Photoshop software.
Autodesk also announced the 2013 version of its Autodesk Flame Premium software, which combines high-end visual effects and finishing tools with real-time color grading in a single solution. The 2013 version features:
"The tools in the suites now work more seamlessly with each other and with the cloud, offering tremendous value by opening new ways for our customers to solve their most complex design and engineering challenges," summarized Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk SVP of Industry Strategy and Marketing.

Snickerdoodle Cupcakes
Only 3 1/2 days of school left. I'm not sure if I should be elated or terrified. I'm leaning towards terrified.
Let's focus on cupcakes, shall we.
I have a new favorite cupcake!
Oh my freakin' WORD! Where have these babies been all my life?! My chocolate-only-lovin' boy was impressed with these as well. =Huge!
I've always liked Snickerdoodle cookies, but I'm not sure I would pick them over a more flashy option. Hello...Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies or Double Fudge Oreo Crunch Cookies or even Pretzel M&M Cookies. It's another story with the cupcake version of this cookie. Good grief. Delicious!
Make some soon!
Snickerdoodle Cupcakes
by Brandy's Baking
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
Ingredients (24 cupcakes)

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3-5 Tbsp whipping cream
Make the cupcakes:
Preheat oven to 350F. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Sift together both flours, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of milk, and beating until combined after each.
Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cupcakes in tins for 10 minutes then remove cupcakes to wire rack to cool completely.
Make the frosting:
With an electric mixer, cream together the butter and cream cheese. Blend in salt, vanilla and cinnamon. Add confectioners' sugar and mix well. Mix in whipping cream, one tablespoon at a time, until mixture is spreadable. Frost cupcakes.

Penn State President Rodney Erickson, who has presided over the university as it deals with the child sex abuse scandal, addresses the National Press Club.
Erickson took over more than a year ago after former President Graham Spanier was forced out as a result of the sex scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
On Thursday, Graham Spanier was indicted on charges of perjury, endangering children and other offenses.
Sandusky was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his conviction on 45 counts of child sex abuse. The 30-year sentence is essentially a life sentence for the 68-year-old man.
Erickson addressed how he plans to refocus the university after the scandal and change campus culture to prevent a similar incident from occurring.
