Brazil put to the sword
Wednesday, 06 February, 2013
England record a deserved 2-1 win over five-time World Cup winners
England 2-1 Brazil
An International Match
7.30pm, Wednesday 6 February 2013
Wembley Stadium
by Glenn Lavery
England marked their first match of 2013 with an impressive 2-1 win over Brazil at Wembley.
After Ronaldinho had missed a penalty, Wayne Rooney put the Three Lions ahead on 26 minutes, calmly side-footing home from 12 yards.
Brazil sub Fred equalised just moments into the second half, but Frank Lampard secured the victory on 60 minutes with a fine finish.
This was an entertaining first England game in The FA's 150th anniversary year and it was also the occasion of Ashley Cole's 100th cap.
But Roy Hodgson will be more pleased with his side's overall performance against the five-time World Champions.
Both teams produced a fairly bright opening. The mercurial Neymar looked dangerous when linking up with Ronaldinho and Chelsea starlet Oscar, while England forced three early corners following positive surges forward. And it was from the third flag kick that the game's first chance arose.
Steven Gerrard sent the ball into the box for Rooney to head goalwards. The effort was low and into the corner and it forced Julio Cesar, the QPR goalkeeper, into an excellent one-handed save, tipping the ball over the bar.
It was maybe not as spectacular as Gordon Banks's famous save from Pele in the 1970 World Cup, but it was still wonderful in its execution.
Brazil were then given a glorious opportunity to take the lead from the penalty spot when referee Pedro Proenca deemed Ronaldinho's 18th-minute cross to have hit Jack Wilshere's arm.
The two-time World Player of the Year took the kick but Hart pulled off a magnificent double save. The City stopper got down low to his left to parry the initial effort and he then blocked Ronaldinho's follow-up with his legs. Tom Cleverley completed the clearance by sliding in to deny Luis Fabiano a tap-in.
This triple save sprung Hodgson's men into life as Danny Welbeck, Cole and Glen Johnson all tried their luck from distance, with each effort going just over the bar.
England's awakening was complete when Rooney broke the deadlock in the 26th minute and it owed much to the vision of eventual man of the match Wilshere.
The Arsenal man played Walcott into the Brazil area with a perfectly weighted through ball. Walcott's shot was blocked by Cesar but Rooney was on hand to divert the rebound into an unguarded net.
Luiz Felipe Scolari's charges came again, though, and it developed into an open, entertaining spectacle.
Neymar will be disappointed not to have drawn draw his side level on 37 minutes when Oscar, having beaten his club mate Cole down the England left, picked him out unmarked at the back post with a teasing, low cross. Arriving late into the box, the Santos forward somehow managed to scoop the ball over the bar.
But it took Brazil just three minutes to level after the restart as two substitutes combined to capitalise on an England mistake.
Gary Cahill attempted to carry the ball out of defence, but a heavy touch allowed Lucas Moura to intercept and find Fred on the edge of the box. The Fluminense frontman was clinical with his finish, planting a left foot shot beyond Hart and into the far corner.
And it might have got even worse for the hosts just moments later when Chris Smalling's back pass had Hart scrambling to clear. His kick fell to the Brazil goalscorer who clipped the top of the bar with a sweetly struck effort.
England, and Cahill, were not to be overrun, though, and the Chelsea centre back forced Cesar to tip over when heading Gerrard's corner goalwards.
And if Brazil's subs had an immediate impact, one of England's new men ensured he would have a big say in proceedings, too, as Lampard restored the one-goal advantage on the hour mark.
Walcott saw his near-post cross cleared but Lucas's subsequent attempted pass back to Paulinho was intercepted by Rooney. The United man found Lampard and he did the rest, firing in off the post.
A raft of second-half changes disrupted the game's flow, but there was still some good play to be admired from both sides, albeit with a lack of clear goal chances.
Fred shot off target a couple of times and Neymar tried an overhead kick, but none of those efforts worried Hart.
Although no further opportunites came about for the hosts, the result, and overall display, will provide Hodgson with a good deal of confidence ahead of next month's World Cup qualifying double-header in San Marino and Montenegro.
This was an entertaining, showpiece Wembley friendly, but England know it is far more important to get two positive results in March if they are to continue on their path to Brazil 2014.

On 5-6 June many of us will have the chance to witness a cosmic event that won't happen again for another 105 years. On those two days our planetary neighbour, Venus, will pass in front of the Sun. If you're lucky enough to live in the right part of the globe, and the skies are clear, then you too can be part of space history.
The transit is the sort of thing us astronomical twitchers love to try to see. It's a similar idea to a solar eclipse — Venus will move between us and the Sun, blocking out some of its light. But there are none of the long shadows and spooky ethereal darkness you get with solar eclipses. Instead, observers (please don't look directly at the Sun) will see just a tiny black dot move across the face of our nearest star.
But this is no ordinary black dot. Venus is one of the most extraordinary places in the Solar System. The surface temperature on the planet, at 470C (880F), is enough to melt lead and the pressure, of some 90 atmospheres, is roughly equivalent to diving a kilometre beneath the ocean on Earth. Venus is surrounded by a toxic soup of gases with sulphuric acid clouds and winds of up to 350km/h (220 mph). This dense atmosphere prevents heat escaping into space – a process often described as a 'runaway' greenhouse effect.
What's weird is that Venus is only slightly smaller than the Earth and has a very similar chemical composition and density. The fact that it's turned out so differently has led those who study the planet to refer to it as 'Earth's evil twin'. The one the family don't like to talk about. But that hasn't stopped scientists trying to figure it out. So far, there have been more than twenty missions to Venus, including two Russian landers, which survived for a couple of hours before getting frazzled by the extreme conditions. The most recent mission, Europe's Venus Express, is in orbit right now analysing the planet's atmosphere. But despite all this international effort, the second planet from the Sun still holds many mysteries.
'Cloud city'
"When we look at Venus we think this is a planet that once, in the very early solar system, might have been very Earth-like," says Geoffrey Landis from Nasa's Glenn Research Centre in Cleveland, Ohio. "But obviously it changed, it overheated, it turned into the very hot thick atmosphere planet. Nevertheless, when we study Venus we can get a view of the very different ways that a rocky planet like the Earth can evolve."
And, he says, there are basic things that we don't understand. "It seems to be a planet that doesn't have plate tectonics – but the Earth does – so we'd like to know how come the Earth is so different. We don't know if it has a very thin crust… or maybe it has a very thick crust; we see a lot of evidence of volcanoes but we don't even know if any of them are still active." In short, Venus turns much of what we understand about Earth-sized rocky planets on its head.
There might even be life. "It's not out of the question," says Landis. "Although the surface is very hot – and not very hospitable to life – as you go up into the middle atmosphere it becomes very Earth-like... researchers have proposed that maybe the middle atmosphere does have life."

I created an underground for shopping codes. It has come to our attention on two other boards that there is someone names Vladik aka ForumGuard that is reporting all posted codes to s$(*&#s. I cannot type out the name of the company, they do a forum search by company name, where ever it comes up they take the info and report it.
I am sure you know the one i am talking about.
The minute they are posted they report them and pull them. So why frustrate yourself? If you want to share those codes and others with your friends safely, join shopalert.
It is in addition to our favorite Bulletin Boards. We still discuss the dealz on the boards, we just transmit the codes by the list.
If you are interested in joining (there are several boards participating). The benefit is the codes wont be posted on anyboard. If its just one board, then it s bound to get out. Anyway, heres the link, anyone is welcome to apply to join, however, you must put the following information
Name (First name only)
all board memberships
all board names
length of affiliations
hobbies (not necessary)
email address
Please read the rules, posted on the front page, its not a chat forum its just to transmit deals and end of deals. Like codes, and then when codes are no longer good.

Thanks for the response even though it had nothing at all to do with clustering. :-) A few mix-ups that I should clarify: I may not be playing the latest Quake or Doom, but that would be because of the rating and the parental units that dictate, er, preside over me. On the other hand, I want to be able to run around with a jedi in the latest Star Wars using maximum resolution, texture quality, anti-aliasing, and anisotropy levels and drive in Need For Speed's latest with maximum car reflections and speed-filtering effects on. From reading PC World's recent article about graphics, I gather that the high resolution is what really bogs down the system, but I am addicted ever since I joined an art site online. As for power consumption and portability...lets just pretend I plan to have it plugged in at all times and I have an aging mule dedicated solely to the transportation of it. Whether it is on my lap or desk will vary, but I am rather concerned about the heat in one aspect. I have seen one to many people have heat issues with their laptops to the extent that they get so choppy you can't run anything or they simply shut down. My sister's can't play a graphics intensive game for more than 40 minutes without a cooling break and my dad's old one cracked its heat sink in a drop and it crashed doing anything besides word processing. I do currently have Gimp and I plan to buy Photoshop in the future as well (rather necessary for serious digital photography), and we might as well throw in the rendering projects I work on that brought up that whole mess over the summer. I would be running the resolution at...hold on! News Flash: The specific laptop is no longer available off of hp.com, which means the Consumer Reports and PC World data is currently for moot. This could change a few things... New Scenario: I look for a similar laptop that is cheap and upgradable beyond reason, preferably sporting an AMD processor and an nVidia graphics card, but since there are no current clear winners and Consumer Reports needs time to update, I wait for Windows Vista. If there are any objections, email me, but otherwise consider all of my questions answered. Sorry about the ado, Luke -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Bears, Up Close and Personal, in the Alaskan Wilderness
A newly built retreat gives visitors a chance to see the Kodiaks in their element
- By Elaine Glusac
- Smithsonian.com, September 13, 2012, Subscribe
Rule number one on a Kodiak Island adventure: Never surprise a bear. "Stay together, talk in normal tones and don't make sudden movements," instructs guide Fred Katelnikoff, shouldering a rifle and leading our group of six hikers from the Karluk Lake shore, where we've anchored our skiff, to a river bluff viewing post. In between lies a mountain-backed meadow of shoulder-high wildflowers, grasses and fireweed where, most certainly, bears bed down.
The evidence lies in the vague trails parting the grass where large things clearly have trod, empirical reminders of the Alaskan island's fame as home to the densest population of brown bears in the world: An estimated 3,500 bears live on Kodiak, or roughly one per square mile.
A second armed guide, Arnold Charliaga, brings up the rear, but our ten-minute trek is tense, halting and hushed. Pausing on a hillock, Katelnikoff puts out an arm, signaling us to stop. Suddenly a young bear pops up on hind legs above the grasses, ears erect, towering 20 feet ahead. We instinctively bunch together, hearts pounding. "Well, good morning," says the guide calmly, holding his ground. Then, after several agonizing seconds, the bear drops down and disappears in the bush, huffing in complaint as it crashes toward the river and a reunion with its mother.
"You might have heard me swear," says Katelnikoff over his shoulder. (I didn't, I tell him.) "It was in Alutiiq."
The Alutiiq are native to Kodiak Island, the largest island in Alaska and the exclusive home of the world's largest bear, the Kodiak brown bear. The Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge occupies two-thirds of the 3,588-square-mile island; this roadless, 1.9-million-acre tract encompasses 117 streams that draw all five varieties of Pacific salmon, and their predators, Kodiak bears. Most bear watches here take place from boats along the coast, or from cars along the limited road system near the town of Kodiak. But this past August, the indigenous Alutiiq nation's Koniag Corporation opened the Kodiak Brown Bear Center (kodiakbearcenter.com) on a sliver of its 112,000-acre holding in the park. The boutique four-cabin retreat on 56-acre Camp Island in the middle of Kodiak's Karluk Lake lies roughly 90 miles southwest by float plane from the town of Kodiak and offers a civilized base—there's a wood-stoked Russian sauna, upscale meals including salmon eggs Benedict and spacious lodging with spa-like bathrooms—in the rugged heart of bear country.
"We grew up knowing if you respect the bear, the bear respects you," says Katelnikoff after our first bear encounter, as we stand watch over the Thumb River where the now calm cub and mother wander along the opposite bank in search of salmon. Katelnikoff, the KBBC's lead guide, counsels us to keep still, stay visible but low, and refrain from speaking in high-pitched tones.
Over 11,000 years ago, Kodian Island split off from the southern coast of Alaska, separating these bears from their grizzly bear cousins on the mainland. With abundant flora and fauna on the island providing a bear banquet, the Kodiaks have evolved into a unique subspecies, Ursus arctos middendorffi, brown-hided but often over twice as large as grizzlies with notably large heads. They can grow up to 2,200 pounds, and 12 feet tall; historic photos show hunters dwarfed by their prey. Despite their size, Kodiaks sustain themselves on ranges that average only 25 square miles; other brown bears require 150 to 200 square miles.
"The Kodiak bears have evolved to accept each other's presence in close proximity," says Koniag environmental scientist Matt Van Daele, who helps manage the Alutiiq land. "They have a very diverse range of communication." Cubs whimper like children to get their mother's attention and purr when nursing to communicate comfort; mothers make a puffing noise to attract wayward cubs. The bears also communicate with growls and popping jaws when they are nervous, such as when they feel threatened by humans.

I love the imagery in this article. The sow "treated the wild grasses... like a salad bar" is one of many great descriptions. The beautiful scenery and the guide's careful ways make me want to visit this beautiful refuge, something I'd ever considered before. Thanks for this great read.

This is a common and serious disorder that can cause alot of destruction and/or stress for you and your dog. This session will help determine if your dog's problem is true separation anxiety or one of several related disorders. We will set up an initial program for you and your dog. Many times all that's needed is this one session which includes Owner Training #101 (see above) plus the additional time to implement a program. I will work with your vet if necessary, as sometimes medication is used short-term in conjunction with behavior modification.
Session is approximately 2.5 hours and is $175.00.
"We just cannot believe the difference you helped us make with our 8 year old dog. He was totally destroying our house, and our marriage. My husband came along reluctantly, but that made all the difference as he totally understood why punishing and getting frustrated were just making Jackson worse. Together, we did EVERYTHING you said, and it's hard to believe, but we can leave him loose at home now and come home to NO destruction and a calm dog. I wish we had found you much sooner- thank goodness our vet told me about you. THANK YOU for saving out family (and house!) " A.M., Lewiston

However, I have now discovered that this provides better internet than I had in my old student house! Pfft. Anyway, in between making frappuccinos for tourists, enjoying the trailer trash lifestyle and watching repeats of Road Wars, Airport Wars, Bin Wars, and any other dull sort of 'war' on tv with my caravan-mate Rachael, I have also been drawing.

GOOSE CREEK, S.C. (AP) - Berkeley County officials now say two people died in a fire that burned an apartment complex in Goose Creek.
Coroner Bill Salisbury says the bodies of a man and boy were found in separate apartments on Thursday evening. Their names have not been released.
The fire started about noon Thursday at Pine Harbor/Pinebrook Point apartments and destroyed 16 apartments.
At least two other people suffered minor injuries.
Sheriff's spokesman Dan Moon says the State Law Enforcement Division and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration are assisting in the investigation.
Moon said one person from the apartment where the fire started has been taken into custody. No charges have been filed.
The Red Cross said at least 36 people lost their homes, including 17 children.

State Department:
Targets for Hiring, Filling Vacancies Overseas Being Met, but Gaps Remain in Hard-to-Learn Languages
GAO-04-139, Nov 19, 2003
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
During the 1990s, the State Department lost more people than it hired. The resultant shortfalls in the number and skills of Foreign Service officers have endangered U.S. diplomatic readiness. Furthermore, recent studies, including several by GAO, have questioned whether State's recruitment system identifies people with the appropriate skills and whether State is assigning officers with specialized skills, such as the ability to speak a difficult language, to positions where they can be utilized. GAO was asked to review State's processes for determining the number and skills of junior officers the department needs and to determine whether it is hiring and assigning officers with the general skills to carry out foreign policy overseas. GAO was also asked to examine the challenges State still needs to address, especially regarding officers' foreign language skills.
State used critical elements of workforce planning to identify the number of junior officers it needs to hire within the next 5 to 10 years. State implemented key elements of workforce planning, including setting strategic direction and goals, identifying gaps in its workforce, and developing strategies to address these gaps. State's analysis showed that it had a deficit of 386 positions, mainly at the mid level, and in 2001, State launched a $197 million plan to address the gaps. State has met its 2002 to 2003 hiring targets for junior officers and is filling overseas positions with junior officers with the general skills and competencies required to do their job well. However, State officials said it will take up to 10 years to hire and promote junior officers in sufficient numbers to significantly decrease the shortage of midlevel officers. While State is able to fill overseas positions with junior officers who have the necessary general skills, the department continues to face challenges filling the gaps in staff with proficiency in certain hard-to-learn languages, such as Arabic and Chinese. State has implemented a plan to target applicants who speak these difficult languages. However, this plan does not include numeric goals, and State has collected limited data to assess the effectiveness of its efforts. Other challenges include new officers' public diplomacy skills and training in this area, increased supervisory and on-the job requirements when State assigns junior officers to positions above their experience level, and the impact of rotational assignments on junior officers' performance and managers' time.
Status Legend:
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: The Secretary of State should collect and maintain data on the effectiveness of State's efforts to address language gaps. State should use these data to, among other things, report on filling such gaps through its outreach efforts to recruit more junior officers with hard language skills and its pilot programs to increase training in hard-to-learn languages for junior officers.
Agency Affected: Department of State
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: State had not specifically addressed our recommendation at the time of our subsequent FY 2006 review of staffing and language gaps at State. Consequently, we recommended that the Secretary of State systematically evaluate the effectiveness of its efforts to improve the language proficiency of its FSOs and specialists, establishing specific indicators of progress in filling gaps and adjusting its efforts accordingly. Since that time, State has reported some actions, but the actions cannot be directly linked to the FY 04 report. For example, State has reported that the department has developed employee to position ratio indicators for tracking its foreign language proficiency and that it periodically reports on the indicators as part of the President's Management Agenda.
Recommendation: State should also explore additional opportunities to maximize assignment of junior officers who have skills in these languages to overseas posts where they can use these languages.
Agency Affected: Department of State
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In November 2003, we recommended that the Secretary of State collect and maintain data on the effectiveness of State's efforts to address language gaps. We stated that the data should be used to, among other things, report on filling such gaps through its outreach efforts to recruit more junior officers with hard language skills. We noted that although State had a system for awarding candidates with foreign language skills additional points on their oral assessment scores, the system did not provide any additional points to test-takers with hard languages versus other languages. State generally agreed with our findings and observations. Partially in response to our work, State reported in April 2004 that it has implemented a new hiring policy to provide additional credit to speakers of critical needs languages.

Business Information (Encyclopedia of Business)
Widely sought for a host of different uses, business information has been transformed by mainstream access to information technology, and in particular, by widespread access to the Internet. The broad concept of business information encompasses all kinds of quantitative and qualitative information, on either a macro or micro level, about companies, products, markets, corporate leaders, industries, ideas, philosophies, and practices.
Business information is organized and disseminated in a variety of ways, often requiring savvy researchers to approach their topic from multiple angles. It may be classified by the subject matter (e.g., international company profiles), by the nature of the source (e.g., Internet sites, government data), or by the end use it serves (e.g., to find a job). Ultimately, of course, the end use drives the research process. Some of the most common end uses are:
- Market research. Businesses conduct market research to gauge the current or potential demand for their products or services. Sources for market research may report household or business demographics, provide sales leads, analyze competitors' strengths and weaknesses in the market, or describe attitudes or opinions about a class of products or services.
- Competitive intelligence. Closely related to market research, competitive intelligence is targeted specifically at finding information about established or emerging competitors. It may not directly involve the market, though, and can include information about competitors' financial condition, their logistics and management practices, new products, and business alliances.
- Financial markets. The financial markets generate a vast quantity of business information. Publicly traded companies and investment funds are required by law to make regular and detailed disclosures about their operations, and investment brokerages and the business press likewise produce a continuous stream of stock-related information.
- Regulation, taxation, and general economic fact-finding. These are the initial end uses for government-collected data, often to satisfy statutory requirements, but that data is also used frequently in the private sector as well. Data that originated for government or general public benefit is often reused in business applications, as is, for example, census data in market research.
- Consumer interest and job hunting. General business information is published for consumers and job hunters, including such basic facts as company contact information and general profiles of well-known corporations.
Tens of thousands of publications and databases provide business information. Below are some of the most commonly used types.
- Business monographs and textbooks are simply books published on a particular business topic or field, such as employee relations, management theory, or corporate scandals.
- Mainstream news media include the print and electronic output from major news organizations and periodicals. Some examples are news wires, the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and CNNfn (a television and web venture of the Cable News Network).
- Trade journals and newsletters, often published by trade associations or specialized publishers, report on specific industries or professions and have narrow audiences. Examples include Advertising Age and Management Review. Articles from many trade journals, as well as mainstream print sources, are widely available through periodical indexing services such as LEXIS-NEXIS and Infotrac.
- Company literature consists of press releases, brochures, annual reports, and other documents distributed by companies directly to the public. At larger companies much of this information is now published on the Internet, although it is also common to find corporate Internet sites that have been neglected for years, forcing researchers to fall back on more traditional methods like calling the company.
- Government publications and databases are usually bare-bones repositories of data collected by the numerous government agencies. Many books are published by the Government Printing Office (GPO) and distributed through its retail or direct-order channels, but specific agencies also release a great deal directly to the public through other means, particularly the Internet. Examples include STAT-USA (a web-based database of reports on foreign trade and macroeconomic indicators), the Annual Survey of Manufactures, and the EDGAR database (a collection of public company filings maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission).
- Market research reports are detailed and usually very current studiesften replete with forecastsf market segments, market share, and trends. They are frequently expensive and some may be custom, unpublished research done for a specific company. Well-known market research firms include International Data Corporation (IDC), Frost & Sullivan, the Gartner Group, and several of the large accounting and management consulting firms.
- Investment research is compiled by brokerages for their clients and by publishers for a broader audience. These reports are typically very timely and may offer investment recommendations. For a more general audience, recent stock quotes and other basic information are available freely at many business web sites.
- Directories and almanacs are serials or databases that enumerate basic facts about one or more subjects. They may be used to generate mailing lists or to gain information on selected companies, among other applications. Common formats include company directories and yearbooks on various industries or markets.
This list is far from comprehensive, but it indicates the quantity and diversity of resources available for finding business information. It should also be noted that some information products, typically sold to companies, libraries, or other institutions, combine the functions of several of the types of sources described here. These integrated reference sources often are distributed on CD-ROM or through a subscription database, and they can greatly simplify the research process. For example, a single company entry may contain all the contact information and financial statistics of a directory, describe the company's history in a several-page narrative, offer links to recent news stories about the company, and provide an overview of that company's industry and its place within the industry.
As the list above suggests, the Internet has had a profound impact on the availability and timeliness of business information. It has made available to the general public many forms of information that previously came to the average researcher either secondhand or after months of delay. As a result, many major business publications that were formerly available only in print are now offered online, and sometimes with greater detail and currency than is possible in print. Indeed, online sources represent significant competition for traditional business media. The Internet's main drawbacks, however, are its lack of organization and the questionable reliability of information published on obscure sites. Still, it offers cautious and persistent business researchers enormous benefits of fast and often inexpensive access to current and diverse information.

text: Analysing the past, present and future of Yahoo Labs Technology 01 January 12 by Katie Scott Tweet Flickr CC: Dave Bleasdale The three R&D centres and seven labs worldwide that make up Yahoo Labs bring together sociologists, code writers, economists and editors to essentially make our online browsing experience as "happy" as possible.Dr Prabhakar Raghavan is Chief Strategy Officer, Executive Vice President and Head of Yahoo Labs. He started the operation six years ago. It now captures 50TB (51,200GB) of data per day and its work is believed to impact one out of every two people online. Raghavan says that the key to its success has been bringing together machine and human intelligence, and specifically, gathering minds from a wide range of disciplines. He explains: "The first thing that we did was hired a bunch of academic economists -- people who were teaching at places like Harvard and CalTech. What these people did was designed market places for advertising."The thing that you don't want is someone with a computer and software background like myself writing a line of code that turns out to have immense economic consequences. The way that we have regimented this is by having the economists lay out what the marketplace is, what the pricing theory is; how you run the auctions; and then you have the computer people coming in and transcribing this into code."The next step, he adds, is to bring in sociologists to analyse the motives of shoppers. This, coupled with large-scale data-mining, could allow Yahoo Labs to analyse 30 million people in an hour. The advertising industry "is still extremely primitive", says Raghavan. "Advertisers just put pictures in front of people and hope they stare at them," he says. But tablet computers offer new opportunities.Yahoo! has already rolled out a service called IntoNow Stateside (and promises a 2012 European release). This app is designed to make television watching a "more social experience". Says Raghavan: "One of the things that we have recognised through research at the labs is people who are looking at the same experience tend to be much more engaged with one another. This used to be the communal living room experience, but now the living room has got spread across globe."With IntoNow, you can be watching a TV show and then turn on your tablet. By listening to the audio from the television, it figures out what you're watching because it is indexing in real time all of the shows that are being broadcast. It then starts to pull together related content and it also opens up your social network."While the television viewing experience is passive, the tablet offers more of a "lean in" experience, says Raghavan, therefore bringing the two together will help people engage more with their television. And this could help advertisers. In the not too distant future, Raghavan suggests that you could see an advert on television and then see a companion advert on your tablet that is tailored to your preferences. Yahoo Labs already has Living Ads, which are described as "immersive, interactive and adaptable", and designed specifically for tablets. And alongside Living Ads will run a free "personalised, living" magazine, specifically designed for the iPad, called Livestand. Like IntoNow, this is already available in the US. It essentially delivers content -- whether sports, TV listings, stocks or news -- from Yahoo's own network and third-party publishers based on your preferences.

Area veterans seeking financial assistance for college tuition will benefit from a new U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs program that offers them additional choices where to study for a degree.
The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program now grants private degree-granting institutions reimbursement for contributions to veterans for tuition and fees. Previously, the post-Sept. 11 G.I. Bill of 2008 only provided full government-paid tuition to those veterans attending public universities.
The new program expands that assistance to private institutions by funding higher education expenses which exceed the public instate undergraduate program rate.
Under Yellow Ribbon, private colleges can commit to 50 percent of those tuition and fees and the VA will match it. As with other programs, veterans must maintain attendance, satisfactory progress and conduct to participate.
According to VA Yellow Ribbon requirements, a veteran must have served at least 36 months since Sept. 10, 2001, or have been honorably discharged from a service-connected disability to be entitled to the maximum benefit rate.
Rodney San Jose, director of admissions at Bradley University in Peoria, confirmed the university would provide $5,000 to qualifying veterans who will then receive a matching $5,000 from the VA. Bradley limits the number of veteran-students in the Yellow Ribbon Program to 100; however, some Illinois private schools accept an unlimited number of applicants in the program.
That total would give veterans $10,000 toward Bradley's annual cost of $31,874 for undergraduate tuition and fees. Most college-bound vets should qualify for additional monies through the G.I. Bill, a federal Stafford Loan and other grant programs.
Another college participating in the Yellow Ribbon program is Rock Island's Augustana College. Augustana was an early participant in the 1944 G.I. Bill, which brought young World War II veterans to the institution, according to President Steven Bahls.
Bahis, in a recent new release, said the Yellow Ribbon Program allows Augustana to continue a meaningful part of its history. "The influence of those young veterans can still be felt in the school that Augustana is today, just as their impact can be traced throughout the development of post-war America," he said.
For President Bahls, this VA program not only pays tribute to current U.S. veterans, but also past veterans like his father.
"I"m proud to say that my father, a World War II veteran, became the first person in his family to earn a college degree, and he was able to do so because of the G.I. Bill," Bahls said. "Clearly, this is an important program for our nation, for Augustana, and for many, many families like mine."
Augustana college counselors have reported speaking with several interested student-veterans who will qualify for aid under this partnership with the V.A.
Other Illinois private education institutions involved with the Yellow Ribbon program include Columbia College, DePaul University, Elmhurst College, Illinois Wesleyan University, Lewis University, Loyola University, Monmouth College and Rockford College.
A complete list of Illinois schools participating in the program can be found within the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs Web site at www.gibill.va.gov.

% dim articleHeadline articleHeadline = "Lt. Gov. Bartleman to speak in Sudbury" %>
The Social Planning Council of Sudbury is bringing in Ontario's Lieutenant Governor, James K. Bartleman, for a special keynote address Monday evening.
Bartleman was sworn in as the 27th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario on March 7, 2002 and became the first aboriginal Canadian to hold the prestigious position.
Once appointed to the position, Bartleman identified three key priorities for his mandate, including eliminating the stigma of mental illness, fighting racism and discrimination and encouraging aboriginal young people to succeed in life. Born in Orillia, Bartleman grew up in the small town of Port Carling in the Muskoka area of Ontario and is a member of the Mnjikaninig First Nation. "This is an exciting opportunity for our community...and the Social Planning Council is eager for many of our residents to come out and hear Mr. Bartleman speak," said Grace Kurke, president of the Social Planning Council of Sudbury, in a news release. Before the dinner engagement, Bartleman will be visiting a local school involved in a social inclusion project and will be meeting with the planning council's Aboriginal Youth Leadership Team. The dinner takes place Monday evening at the Caruso Club. Tickets are limited. Tables of eight can be reserved. To purchase a ticket, which are $50 per person ($45 for Social Planning Council members), call Jody or Sara at 675-3894. Tickets are also available at Black Cat Too or online at www.spcsudbury.ca.

Venus buzzes the Pleiades BY MARK ARMSTRONG ASTRONOMY NOW Posted: 30 March 2012 The current evening apparition of Venus has been truly memorable and after cosying up to Jupiter and the Moon in recent weeks the queen of the planets entices the splendid Pleiades open star cluster (M45) into her clutches. Astronomy Now graphic by Greg Smye-Rumsby. As the skies start to darken sufficiently tonight (2 April) around 8pm BST Venus lies under a degree (two full Moon widths) south west of the Pleiades and the view in binoculars and small telescopes will be spectacular! But it only gets better as on the early evening of 3 April Venus enters the eastern part of the cluster, although none of the seven Pleiads or 'Seven Sisters' are occulted. At 8pm Venus lies just under half a degree south of Alcyone (eta Tauri, mag. +2.8), the brightest star in the Pleiades. By the following evening (4 April) Venus lies just over half a degree west of Atlas (27 Tauri, mag.+3.6). If you are blessed with clear skies, do make the most of this opportunity as, according to my colleague Peter Grego, it will be another eight years before Venus is this close again to M45. If you have a telescope it's a great chance to observe Venus itself, as it is splendidly placed in the western sky, about 36 degrees up at 8pm and not setting until four and a half hours after the Sun. But, whatever you do, ensure that the Sun has set before attempting any observations. Venus is a blazing magnitude -4.4 and shows just under a half phase spanning around 25 arcseconds. As the month progresses the crescent phase narrows as its apparent diameter increases. It also brightens slightly, reaching it's brightest on 30 April. This is a great chance to secure some lovely images too; Astronomy Now has received some beautiful pictures of the recent Venus/Moon conjunction and we would love to receive any images of this latest event. Please send them to gallery2012 @ astronomynow.com |
