Andrews Dormitory, 2401 Whitis
Occurred on 8-28-05 between 10:30 AM and 7:00 PM.
Theft: A blue colored Trek 4500 was stolen while it was secured with a cable lock to a bicycle rack located on the south side of the dormitory. Loss value: $500.00.
Crime Prevention Tip
Students, welcome back. Thieves on campus live by the theft opportunities created by faculty, staff and students. The three most common problems we see on campus are the theft of unattended property, auto burglaries and theft of bicycles. The majority of our stolen bicycles occur because students use sub-standard locks to secure their bicycles. The UT Police Departments minimum recommendation for a bicycle lock is a u-lock that uses a flat key not a round key. Our maximum recommendation is to use a u-lock and an independently locking cable lock. Using both types of locks at the same time would require a thief to have two different types of tools and force them to spend twice as long trying to steal your bicycle. To aid in our ability to recover your bicycle if it does get stolen, you should register your bicycle with UT Parking and Transportation. This is required for any bicycle on campus, is a free program and can be done online at: http://www.utexas.edu/parking/transportation/biking/
Chilling Station # 3, 1910 San Jacinto
Occurred on 8-28-05 at 3:10 PM.
Assist Outside Agency: A UT staff member, who had two outstanding outside agency arrest warrants for theft by check and driving on a suspended driver license, ran from a bail bondsman who attempted to locate him at Chilling Station #5. UT police officers located the subject a Chilling Station #3.
500 Colorado
Occurred on 8-28-05 at 3:00 AM.
Driving While Intoxicated: A non-UT subject was stopped for driving a 2004 Pontiac 4-door the wrong way on a one-way roadway. The subject was found to have consumed alcoholic beverages to the point he was driving while intoxicated.
100 East Dean Keeton
Occurred on 8-28-05 at 1:50 AM.
Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor (3 counts): Three UT students, all of whom were under the age of 21, were found walking along the sidewalk. One of the three students was observed staggering. All three students were found to have consumed alcoholic beverages.
Crime Prevention Tip:
One thing that new students typically do not think of before they go out for their first night on the town without the parents curfews and rules is the consequences of their actions. If you are under the age of 21, then you need to know that UT has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to drugs and alcohol. You are subject to receiving at the bare minimum a citation for possession of alcohol by a minor, consumption of alcohol by a minor or driving under the influence by a minor. These are the minimum charges you could face. You could also be subject to incarceration for public intoxication or driving while intoxicated. All of these charges come with the suspension of your driver license and a visit to the Dean of Students Office in addition to your trip to the courthouse. This is only the legal side of things. Just today, I heard alcohol related car collisions are up. Every year numerous students are treated for alcohol poisoning and keep in mind alcohol consumption is a prevalent factor in the majority of assault cases . Do not jeopardize your academic career, your future or your life.
Geography Building, 210 West 24th Street
Occurred on 8-26-05 at 7:00 PM.
Theft: A UT staff member investigated a strange noise coming from an unsecured 3rd floor classroom.

When asked for UT identification, the subject stated his identification card was with his friend in their truck and left with the VCR. The subject was described as a black male in his mid thirties, wearing a light colored shirt, dark slacks and an orange baseball cap. The reporting person said the subject had very large eyes, very white teeth, a smooth talker and had very fluid motion. Loss value: $300.00.
Crime Prevention Tip:
Everyone should carry a cellular telephone with them everywhere they go. To reduce the time it takes you to contact the UT police department, program our telephone number into your cell phones speed dial. You can reach us at 512-471-4441. Call the UT police department as soon as you notice suspicious or criminal activity.

The subject was found to have two outstanding outside agency arrest warrants for a curfew violation and for theft of service.
2000 Jester Circle
Occurred on 8-29-05 at 2:40 AM.
Public Intoxication: A UT student, who was under the age of 21, was found holding onto light poles as he stumbled along the roadway. The student stated he had been drinking at a near-by fraternity house. The student was found to be under the influence of an alcoholic beverage to the point he was a physical endangerment to himself. Once at a detention facility, the student became belligerent with a staff member and was promptly escorted to a solitary confinement room.
Music & Bates Recital Hall, 2405 Trinity
Occurred on 8-28-05 between 12:30 PM and 12:55 PM.
Theft: A Sanyo cell phone, a Texas Driver License, a credit card and a debit card were stolen from a purse that was left in an unsecured 3rd floor faculty lounge. Loss value: $100.00.
Crime Prevention Tip:
Thieves need a single second or two for the opportunity to commit a theft. Do not give them that opportunity. Never leave anything inside an unsecured room not even for a few minutes.
Parking Lot 103, 2100 Comal
Occurred between 8-26-05 at 6:00 PM and 8-27-05 at 10:24 AM.
Attempted Burglary of Motor Vehicle: The right rear opera window was broken out of a 1998 Toyota Corolla 4-door while the vehicle was parked on the east side of the Parking Lot. The metal stereo frame around the vehicles stereo was damaged when the would be thief attempted to pull the stereo from the dashboard. The stereos removable faceplate was found on the vehicles floorboard. Repair cost: $175.00.
Crime Prevention Tip:
If your vehicles car stereo has a removable faceplate, then make sure you take the faceplate with you when you park your car. A stereo with a missing faceplate is not as an attractive of a target for car burglars as a car with a complete stereo. By removing the faceplate, you increase the odds that a burglar will skip your car and break into another car that will not require him to send off for a new stereo faceplate.
Parking Lot 103, 2100 Comal
Discovered on 8-27-05 at 10:24 AM.
Criminal Mischief: The right rear opera window was broken out of a 2003 Toyota Corolla 4-door while the vehicle was parked on the east side of the Parking Lot. At this time, it is unknown if any items were stolen from the vehicle. Repair cost: $100.00.
Crime Prevention Tip:
To further reduce the risk of your cars window being broken out, place a beach towel across your dashboard and allow the towel to drape down over the stereo. A burglar will think you are protecting your dashboard from the sun, when in essence, you are hiding the type of stereo you have. Most burglars want to see what they stand to get before they break into a car.
San Jacinto Residence Hall, 309 East 21st Street
Occurred between 8-25-05 at 4:00 PM and 8-26-05 at 7:45 AM.

Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor: A UT student, who was under the age of 21, was a passenger in a vehicle that had been stopped for a traffic violation. The student was found to have consumed alcoholic beverages.
Speedway at Dean Keeton
Occurred on 8-27-05 at 1:30 AM.
Driving Under the Influence by a Minor: A UT student, who was under the age of 21, was stopped for making an illegal right hand turn while driving a green 1995 Toyota sport utility vehicle. The student was found to have consumed alcoholic beverages, but was not under the influence to the point he was driving while intoxicated.
Crime Prevention Tip:
If you are under the age of 21, you do not need to fail a field sobriety test to receive a driving under the influence by a minor charge. All an officer needs to have is any detectable amount of alcohol in a minor who is operating a motor vehicle. That means if an officer can smell it on your breath, then you can receive the charge.
Union Building, #4 West Mall
Discovered on 8-26-04 at 7:57 PM.
Graffiti: A blue pen was used to write words on a wall in a 4th floor mens restroom. Removal cost: $30.00.

The most interesting fact in Jennifer Lopez plastic surgery is not this. According to plastic surgeons 70 per cent of women following their wish to correct their buns choose the forms like Jennifer Lopez's. She has gained this treasure from Mother Nature and is very proud of it. She values it so much that she has insured it for 300 million dollars. But the question is "Has Jennifer Lopez done plastic surgery or not?"
Society gossip insists that pop-star has destroyed her face forever after an unsuccessful plastic operation. While supporting Barak Obama in France the star "shocked" the public with her new image. They explained it with a luckless operation. They thought it to be a botox overcharge and hoped to see the usual actress soon afterwards. Truly, the last Paris pics show Jen without any marks of terrible plastic surgery. Her face looks the same. She doesn't look much older than her young boyfriend Casper Smart.
But plainly speaking stars of such a size cannot avoid a plastic scalpel. Experts have already mentioned that Jen used to take botox injections but no other more serious procedures. She is in great shape which is explained with her active way of life. She is now 44 and looks great. And you won't be able to find a wrinkle on her face! Specialists are sure that such an effect can be got using botox injections and laser methodology Fraxel. But Lo herself denies this fact.
But looking at the photos it is obvious that she has come through rhinoplasty, having corrected her nose wings and the bridge. Moreover, the media mentions that she has done lips plastics and corrected the oval of her face. After having given birth to her twins she has gained her previous shape very soon and looks even better! The actress herself ignores the rumors and shocks us with her appearance.
Whether she has or has not done it, she is probably one of the stars who has not overdosed with plastic surgery. Her skin looks tight and fresh; she is not very slim but good-shaped and always looks cool. What is your opinion? Has Jay Lo done any interference into her body? Look at Jennifer Lopez before and after plastic surgery photos and give us your ideas.

What to do in San Juan

best thing i found to do in san juan was to pray that my taxi wouldnt fall apart and that our driver wouldn't kill us.
If you like historic architecture and churches go to old town... if after the taxi ride you need a drink, go to the bacardi tour.
We stayed at the caribe hilton before a cruise. The wyndam across the way, with the casino, after the cruise. Didn't want to go anywhere but to the ship or to the airport.
Personally i found the people rude and snobbish, getting service even at the airport was impossible. I couldnt wait to get to miami...expensive, rude (except at the resort where they are paid well to be nice), and the city area showed a dirty, poor place, falling apart and building at the same time. beggars selling water at traffic lights...not the place i want to tour.
We go on our next cruise in Dec from san juan i will do the above mentioned praying till i get to the ship and save my time and money for better islands.
We got stuck on the RCCL adventure in san juan because of a dockworker strike it was strange, the govenor was negoiating but no cabs or trucks were allowed in the port. Princess was behind us and must have used thier crew and paid some scabs because they unloaded while we sat...we didnt care because we got an extra 6 hours, with lunch, and didnt have a flight to catch. I hope they don't do that often because we didn't book a room this time.

So what's been keeping me so busy that I've missed a few daily posts here? Well one of the things I've been doing behind the scenes is designing a few new holiday Cartograms for the Cartolina app. Here's a sneak peek at one of the new designs. In a couple of weeks we'll be adding some of the holiday Cartograms from last year's Seasons Greetings app to the regular Cartolina app - and including a few new designs too. These will be a *free update* and I hope you love the designs! Stay tuned - you should see the update soon! AND we'll be launching our big surprise project in about 3 weeks as well - I can hardly wait. I hope you've signed up to be first to hear about it - you can sign up on the left << over there!

Style at Home holiday card 2011
A few months ago the ladies at Style at Home asked me to design them a holiday card to send to their clients etc. I sent them 3 to choose from and they decided to turn it into a little competition in the November issue of the magazine and on their website. There's still time to vote if you like on their site. There are about 115 votes right now - they are going to choose a winner from all the votes - and the winner will get some nice Cartolina holiday cards - and I might pick a couple more winners too. So go now and vote - do me proud ;-)

I am in the financial industry and sought out Peter Parlow to represent me in my divorce case. I had a complex situation which involved promissary notes and bonus agreements between myself and my employer. Peter was able to represent and convey to the concilliator and the other party the restrictions and obligations regarding the notes and bonuses accurately which allowed the assets to stay in my name. He always acted in a professional manner and always made you feel that he had your best interests at heart. His billing and how he bills is extremely fair. I would highly recommend Attorney Peter Parlow to represent anyone whom may need an attorney.

I was arrested on multiple criminal charges including misdemeanors and felonies in 2 different courts. He worked great with my other court appointed attorney while I was held on revoked bail. Peter and I went to trial for my criminal charges and he was very informative to ALL MY OPTIONS. In a 6-Person Jury Trial I was found NOT GUILTY of my charges.
Throughout the entire case from arraignment to verdict Peter fought for me. He fought very hard to reduce bail and was even congratulated by members of the the public. for his work in my matter. He was also great the way he communicated in with my family members and parties of interest.
I would highly recommend Peter Parlow as a attorney.

we hire peter to represent us in a child custody issue with the father of the child.
peter was slow to respond to phone calls, offered bad advise by telling us not to go in for court ordered drug test on day it was ordered by court, got a negative test result which would have gotten visitation re instated, but the test result were consider inadmisable in court because it wasnt done on day ordered by court. $3,000 dollars down the drain.
peter was only responsive the first consulation. there is no office, no support staff, not what you would expect for $300 dollar per hour attorney.

I am not the type of individual to leave feedback or reviews but in this case I felt it necessary to do so to share my positive experience with others. Over the years I had several different attorneys represent me in family court and with each attorney I always came away with a unsettling feeling. I always felt as if I was not provided proper guidance and as a result, I most likely did not come away with results that were fair and equitable for me. Â
However, that all changed recently. During my most recent case for Child Support Modification, I felt compelled to terminate my relationship with my first choice for legal counsel halfway through my case for similar reasons mentioned previously.   I was never comfortable with changing counsel in the middle of the process but I knew I had to begin trusting my instincts, which is something I never did in the past. During the early stages of communicating and strategizing with this attorney, I began to experience the familiar uneasy feeling that I was potentially being led astray and would come away with unfavorable results. Further, the attorney only seemed interested in settling and collecting 100% of their retainer so she can move on to another case. Â
Knowing I had to make this critical change in switching legal representation, I began researching attorneys that are experts in Child Support Modification cases. During my research I came across Attorney Parlow's contact information and autobiography and I was impressed. I gave him a call to review my case and I can easily say without any hesitation that it was one of the best decisions I made in many years. From our initial conversation, I finally felt I found an attorney that had my best interests in mind and was not predominantly focused on immediately settling and collecting the retainer. Information flow between client and counsel was second to none and I truly believe this is a critical component in having exceptional representation to ensure success. Having Attorney Parlow represent me provided me with a comfort level I never experienced before and I knew he was going to provide me with the greatest opportunity to receive a favorable response.
Furthermore, life can be complicated and sometimes you don't have the time or energy to deal with the many issues that arise during these types of cases. This is where having strong legal representation is invaluable.  If you are in need of a professional, thorough, sharp and most importantly, an experienced attorney that has your best interest in mindcounsel, then you do not need to look further. In fact, I plan on keeping Attorney Parlow on retainer for future assistance if needed. As it pertains to cost, Attorney Parlow's billable hours was extremely reasonable and he was always mindful to ensure time was not wasted to ensure the retainer was more than enough to cover all legal costs. In conclusion, Attorney Parlow is an honest and upstanding individual and I highly recommend him only to those that demand excellence from their legal representation.Â


text: Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Xolair ® (omalizumab) for the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU), a form of chronic hives. The new use is for people 12 years of age and older who remain symptomatic despite treatment with H 1-antihistamine therapy 5. Until now, H 1-antihistamines have been the only approved therapy for CIU, with about 50 percent of patients having an inadequate response 3. CIU is diagnosed when hives occur without an identifiable cause, spontaneously present, and reoccur for more than six weeks 1,3. CIU can have burdensome symptoms including swelling, severe itch, pain, and discomfort that may last for many months and even years 1,2. Approximately 1.5 million people in the U.S. develop CIU at some stage in their life 3,4. Women are twice as likely as men to experience CIU and most develop symptoms between the ages of 20 and 40 3,6. "Chronic idiopathic urticaria can be difficult to manage because its causes are unknown, and other approved medicines aren't effective enough for many patients," said Sandra Horning, M.D., chief medical officer and head of Global Product Development. "We are pleased to have Xolair as a new option for people with this serious skin condition." Xolair is the first biologic medicine and first medicine approved by the FDA for CIU since non-sedating H 1-antihistamines. Xolair is approved for people 12 years and older with CIU who remain symptomatic despite treatment with H 1-antihistamine therapy 5. Xolair is not used to treat other forms of urticaria (hives) and is not for use in children less than 12 years of age. It is jointly developed by Genentech and Novartis Pharma AG and is co-promoted in the U.S. with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. "CIU can be a frustrating condition for patients," said Mike Tringale, senior vice president at the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). "This new use for Xolair gives hope to appropriate patients who can go for months or even years without getting satisfactory itch and hive reduction."

The Flyers jumped on the Sabres early, striking 5:03 into the game on a Majerle goal.
Fenkse added a power-play goal three minutes later, then extended the gap to 3-0 midway through the second period.
The Flyers exhibited no intention of sitting back heading into the final period as senior Ben Newman struck a mere seven seconds into the third, followed 17 seconds later by Majerle's second goal of the night.
Freshman Thomas Miller tacked on the final goal to cap the rout.
Fenske also recorded three assists to finish with a five-point performance.
Senior Michael Stumpf turned away all 29 shots he faced to earn the shutout in net.

Listen to Mashup of Katy Perry's No. 1 Hits in Tommie Sunshine's Megasix
Katy Perry's special edition release 'Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection' hits stores today, and one of the new coolest tracks for Perry fans might be 'Tommie Sunshine's Megasix Smash-Up,' a seven-minute remix that blends all six of her 'Teenage Dream' singles — five of which reached No. 1 — into a single track.
Sunshine wastes no time mixing things up, as the first 20 seconds of the remix incorporates spliced-up vocals from four of the six chart-topping songs. The mix finally settles into a full minute of 'Teenage Dream,' followed by the first verse and chorus from 'California Gurls.'
Next up is 'The One That Got Away,' which lived up to its name as the only one of the six singles that failed to hit No. 1, and then a short clip from 'T.G.I.F. (Last Friday Night).' 'E.T.' comes next and is the most heavily-edited song in the mashup, with its vocals presented in a much slower tempo than on the original recording. Finally, the last minute is devoted to 'Firework' and fades out on the line, "Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon."
Perry achieved a two-year run of hit singles that was almost unmatched in pop music history, and this seven-minute track captures it perfectly. 'Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection' features new versions of many of these hits, including an acoustic 'The One That Got Away' and a Missy Elliott collaboration.

April 30, 2012 | Cheaty's Celebrity Gossip & Entertainment,Yoga
I can't believe I'm blogging this evening. It feels like I was just here. But I counted the days (on my fingers), and it's almost been two weeks. Remember when I used to blog here every day? Time just goes so fast now. And as I mentioned in my last post, I'm determined to slow it down. And I'm determined to write here tonight even though I'm simultaneously battling my cat Minden as he attempts avidly, feverishly to kiss me or, well, seriously, to stick his slimy tongue down my throat. BATTLING HERE. Sorry for that visual, but HELP ME seriously…!
So this is me at eTalk TV again….
It's not the best picture of me. I'm super grin-y. Mostly because I was happy it was over. We were talking about some intense stuff — like celebrities and extended breastfeeding, co-sleeping and placenta eating. Not easy topics to talk about on behalf of a national brand. But I did love doing it, and I think I did OK! It's airing next week. So keep an eye on my Twitter feed AND Facebook page (which I implore you to LIKE to stay updated on my celeb news and lots of other fun stuff), for the exact date.
Can someone please get this cat off of me? Or at least just don't get upset if I can't get a coherent sentence going here, OK? And, by the way, he does this at 3 a.m. every night too. Just when the Rascal starts sleeping through the night (still barely, at 4.5 years old), my cat starts waking me up? Am I never meant to sleep through the night again? I'm tired over here. I saw bags under my eyes in my car window reflection this morning. BAGS. Big ones.
And, alas, even the eye mask, with which I've been obsessed lately (melatonin, FTW!) isn't helping….
Anyway, last night we took the kids to see Canada's Got Talent — yet another perk of working at Today's Parent. And we had a great time. Do you watch the show? Are you, like everyone else who watches, voting for Rally the Dog? We were. Check out our fancy signs….
Raahhhhh! Go Rally! Hee. So 'dorable.
So, this wasn't so bad, Gorgeouses. Didn't take that long. Hmm…, maybe I could drop by here more often and update you some more on the goings on around these parts? Or is time going by so fast for you too, that you didn't even notice it's been two weeks already since we last chatted?
In the meantime, I did go to yoga last week. Just once. But it was a start. And I meant to go this morning, but time flew right out from under me as I was working last night, and I decided getting that extra hour and a half of sleep was more important than making it to yoga. But an hour and a half later, I wasn't so sure.
See you soon….
xo Haley-O
Some more stuff I've been working on and am really proud of: Carson Kressley's hot fashion tips for moms, Natural makeup and skincare products we love (ALL MY BEAUTY SECRETS!), 6 delicious vegan recipes, and a big spread in June's issue of Today's Parent Magazine (on stands mid May!). I've also updated my CV again, if you want to have a look at all of my recent publications. THANKS!

oooh! Natural makeup. That's my next thing to try. Thanks for the link.
And yay for yoga! We start a new challenge today – and I'm a little over-excited I think. (that's a good thing).
As for cats. I sleep with the door closed because i'm allergic to them, and I cannot handle them sleeping next to me. But, routinely around 3:30-4am they decide it's breakfast and start scratching on the door. Seriously. Scratch scratch scratch.
Also – Chloe really is just starting to sleep through the night and she's 4.

I brought my gym bag to work today and I am telling myself I am going to the gym at lunch. Somehow 'myself' is not convinced. UGH This motivation stuff is hard.
Catty Granny Teri said, May 1st, 2012 at 5:26 pm
Hello! You look gawwwwwwwwwwjussssssss! Haven't seen you in ages. Happy to see you smiling.
Caca Cyang Aqu said, May 15th, 2012 at 6:35 am
Can anyone help?. I'm researching the impact of Line Dancing lessons delivered by the Net. AS part of this, I'm after recommended sites dealing in such demographic information. If anyone has a personal view, please pass it on.
Much appreciated,

Denmark Inherits the Wind
Gabled red-brick farmhouses dot the gently rolling green fields of the Jutland peninsula on Denmark's west coast. It's a scene straight out of a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale--except for one prominent feature: Rising 30 stories are space-age white towers, topped with giant, three-bladed propellers that span 120 feet. Windmills have been part of Denmark's landscape for centuries--but not like these, and never with so much economic impact. "Many of our farmers make more money out of power generation than farming," says Johannes Poulsen, managing director of Vestas Wind System. Vestas leads a cluster of companies that have made tiny Denmark, population 5 million, the world's top producer and exporter of windmills.
For Denmark, wind power is a fairy tale come true. Not only does the wind industry supply about 13% of Denmark's power but Danish companies currently control about 50% of the $4.5 billion global windmill market, and their share is increasing. What's more, the market itself has been growing by 30% to 40% a year since the late 1990s, creating a tidy windfall for the manufacturers. Vestas, for example, has seen its stock rise twentyfold in three years. Revenues grew by 37% last year, to $738 million, and profits hit $103 million. "Wind is the great energy success story of the last decade," says Roderick Bridge, an analyst at HSBC Investment Bank in London.
FLAWED POLICY. The U.S. could have played a bigger role. American companies began to build the first generation of truly modern windmills in the early 1980s, armed with Carter-era tax credits aimed at promoting green energy. The credits got the industry off the ground, but the policy was flawed. Both the Federal government and California offered tax credits only for the installation of windmills, not for operating and maintaining them. So when the windmills broke down, they were often simply left to rust. After energy prices fell and funding for wind programs under Ronald Reagan contracted, the U.S. gave up its lead in wind technology. "It was Uncle Sam that birthed the industry, then lost it to the rest of the world," laments James Dehlsen, founder of U.S. turbine maker Zond Corp., which was sold later to Houston-based Enron Corp.
Denmark's public policy has been more consistent and was better conceived from the start. The government chose to pay windmill owners above-market prices for their power, subsidizing upkeep and investment in new technology. "The original California system encouraged doctors and dentists to buy wind turbines," says Vestas' Poulsen, "but our [wind producers] have much more of an incentive to care whether they work."
Another difference: From the beginning, Danish windmill makers knew they needed to export. "Our small home market gives us no choice," says Per Hornung Pedersen, chief financial officer at the second-largest Danish producer, NEG Micon. This early export focus gave the Danes a leg up on big competitors in Germany and Spain.
Wise technology choices helped the Danes build on the generous government support. While U.S. manufacturers working with aerospace technology concentrated on lightweight materials that were efficient but fragile, Danish companies started off as heavy-duty farm machinery makers. "The original Danish turbines were more than twice the weight of comparable American turbines and proved much more durable," recalls Birger T. Madsen, managing director of Denmark-based BTM Consult, a leading wind power consultancy.
Gradually, the Danes improved the efficiency of their devices. Where early models were outfitted with 225 kilowatt generators, today's models can churn out as much as of 2 megawatts, enough to power 2,000 homes. Larger 2.5- and 3-megawatt machines are under development--some of them destined for offshore environments where the wind is reliable but storms, waves, and salty conditions demand unprecedented ruggedness. And improvements in computerized control systems are helping turbines squeeze out more watts from the wind more efficiently. The best windmills now can produce a kilowatt-hour of electricity for about 4 cents--half the cost of five years ago and approaching the price of power generated by gas-fired plants.
Still, the wind business must overcome some giant hurdles, starting with political risks. In the U.S., a tax credit for wind power comes up for congressional renewal this December, at a time when President George W. Bush is pushing for a 30% cut in federal funding for renewable power and conservation programs. And even though wind power is increasingly cost competitive, many would-be windmill operators in both the U.S. and Europe still need subsidies to win long-term financing. So if the tax credit isn't renewed, the Danes' largest market could blow away.
LITTLE SECRET. Critics contend that the subsidies themselves are a problem. They argue that wind power will never prove its merit until the artificial tax credits and price supports on both sides of the Atlantic are removed. The Danish government pays more than $300 million to wind generators every year. "Partly as a result of those high subsidies, the Danes pay the highest rates for electricity in the world," argues Brian O'Connell, author of a book critical of renewable energy policies.
Skeptics have other objections, as well. Birds sometimes get chopped in the turbines. And people who live near wind farms often say they are an eyesore. But the biggest problems are intrinsic: Windmills only produce when the wind is up, and for now, there is no way to store the surplus electricity. Until that issue is resolved, BTM Consult figures wind systems could supply a maximum of about a third of global electricity demand. That's much more than now, but with solar and other renewables lagging far behind, the difference would still have to be made up by fossil fuels.
At least some of wind's liabilities may eventually be solved. Power-storage technologies are in development in laboratories around the world. And while the U.S. has officially repudiated the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which called for dramatic cuts in carbon emissions, other governments are likely to encourage more wind power as part of the effort to reduce greenhouse gases. The European Union, for one, has set targets for a fivefold growth of renewable energy by 2010.
Worldwide, the Danes face growing competition from ABB. The giant Swedish-Swiss power company recently announced a novel type of gearless windmill that converts turbine rotation to energy by means of a magnet-run, transformerless high-voltage generator. Since the gearbox is often a source of trouble, ABB's gearless device could make a big splash in the market.
Nevertheless, many analysts believe the Danes have a comfortable edge. NEG Micon recently raised $100 million in fresh financing and is expected to report a profit for 2000. Its stock has more than tripled over the past year, yielding a market cap up to $1.5 billion. Vestas' market cap is $5.5 billion, and privately held companies report soaring sales.
Already, the windmill business has revived rural Jutland's economy, which previously struggled along on shipbuilding, fishing, and farming. When the shipyard in the town of Ringkobing went broke in 1999, Vestas converted the facilities to make windmills. Now, it's expanding the site and has doubled its workforce, to 3,000, in the past five years. "All the shipyard workers got jobs here," says Vestas welder Thomas Knudsen. Wind power may look like an anachronism. But it's gaining ground more quickly than other renewable sources. It may well turn out to be the green power of choice for the 21st century.

"The greatest thing you know Comes not from above but below" Danzig
Dumb and Dumber.
never gets old.
The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo
Heard it was supposed to be good but I found myself getting bored and didn't finish it. Will probably go back and watch it again at some point.
Sex Drive
Expected it to be kind of stupid but it was actually pretty funny. Seth Green as an Amish person was hilarious. "I love fixing people's s*** for free".
Captain America
Watched it as much to be up to speed for the Avengers movie as anything. It was fun, over the top, and entertaining. Cap never came off to me as that bad *** in the comic books, but i didn't read him as much as I did Iron Man outside the Avengers books.
The ending was ok. Wish they would have shown him finding her having aged or at least learning what happened. But that would be too chick flicky I guess, but definitely in character.
MI4: Ghost Protocol
Overall, it was a good movie. I'm getting a bit bored though cause at no point do I think any of the "good" guys are in any real danger since they don't get killed. I can't recall all of the past films, but I don't think any of the main team members get killed, at least since the first movie. Wish they would add that back in and give us a bit more tension/suspence.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
The reviews so far for the Avengers have been amazing
75 positive and 4 negative. For this type of movie
Watching either Sat or Sun.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Kung Fu Panda 2.
Really liked this movie. This is how you do a sequel!
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Saw the Avengers last night, never been a big comic book or superhero fan, though I have seen a lot of the films, but it was a very good movie. I'd say it it easily one of the better movies of the genre...
The Avengers - I guess I'll do any spoilery stuff in the Avenger thread, but suffice it to say that this is, for the most part, an extremely satisfying summer action blockbuster. The first quarter is pretty boring table setting that, I guess, establishes the various characters. Seemed like Whedon was really only into Tony Snark and Bruce Banner, since they're the only ones who get any meaningful/entertaining backstory. But all the old people people I went with (client event for our company) and I were just blown away by the two action set pieces. The second one especially just keeps bringing fresh CGI sequences that represent the pinnacle of action filmmaking today. And, yes, the Hulk makes the price of admission worth it. It would have felt overdrawn and over-kitschy without the Hulk. But because of the great balance of gleeful and brutal violence, it's quite spectacular. Pretty strongly recommended.
I agree with most of the above comments about the AVENGERS. It is not in the same league as X-men First Class and The Dark Knight, but better than most of the recent Marvel offerings.
The argument for X-Men: F. Classbender is that there is actually thematic and emotional resonance to the non-action scenes. McAvoy/Fassbender played actual human characters, while the actors in The Avengers played comic book characters. The purpose of the non-action story was to show these two friends who reach different philosophies on their own terms. The Avengers, though much better executed (especially on the action side) overall, just showcases awesome battle sequences. The first forty-ish minutes of the movie is a combination of goofy back-and-forth dialogue and irrelevant, geeky plot minutae. The movies seem to have different objectives and, if you're looking for emotion/thematic depth, Vaughn's movie is much more interesting and relevant.
Overall it was a good movie, but it seemed very rushed. Some good humor, and I liked that it didn't take itself too seriously, but I was not involved in the story or characters
Yeah, I'm pretty sure about that after the first viewing of both. And that's coming from someone who was more into the Avengers comics as a kid compared to X-men.
UB mentioned that he wasn't that involved in the characters and story. I have my metrics and I in thinking about them, it seems that I probably wasn't as involved in the story either, based on them. The best metric is how easily I'm distracted by other movie-goers and how long it takes me to get back into the story. I can't stand it when people light up their cell phones in the theaters---it distracts the crap out of me. But with the Avengers, since much of it was action vs. substance, I could easily go back to the movie without missing a beat after telling people to put their damn phones away. Much more substance to X-men.
The Avengers
I had high expectations for this one, and it didn't disappoint. This is just about as good as it gets as far as superhero flicks go. Fun, action-packed, and a nicely balanced focus on each of the main characters. You know you have a great film when Hawkeye is badass in it.
The only really negative thing is that this may take a lot of the drama out of each characters' future solo movies. The individual threats just simply aren't going to be up to par with stuff like Loki and Thanos.
Can't wait for the sequel.
That was awesome! Hulk had some scene stealing moments. Started off slow, but heated up quick. Character development was good. The writer really knew what he was doing and hit the note on all the character's different personalities. Great balance.
Going to see it in 3D this coming weekend.
First time in a long time, I've been happy with the team that was constructed, and now they struggle. I blame the coach.
Can't wait for this.... JAWS on blu-ray to be released August 14th.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
well, this hasn't come out yet but, i have seen trailers for the movie Prometheus. it looks like it could be good. i am a fan of the first 2 alien flicks and this actually looks like it could be worth seeing. i haven't been to a movie at the theater since walk the line which was decent.
most movies are just spiritless sequels crammed with a bunch of CGI rubbish that hold a negative interest factor for me.
it seems i have finally found something that has an interesting story to it rather than more mike bay crap.
i hope i am not disappointed.
It is what it is, a fun movie that is really loud , filled with big explosions, and just enough plot to get to the end. If you don't like Transformer like movies and can't look past the obvious improbable things that happen, then don't go. Brooklyn Decker and Rhianna held thier own and looked good doing it, which was a bonus.
Dragon Ball evolution - pretty poor movie tbh
Remember the Titans - Probably one of my all time fav movies.

Parking Ticket Blues: Joseph Arthur Retrieves Tour Van, in Odd Saga...
From New York Times:
Joseph Arthur, the Brooklyn-based singer and painter whose touring van was towed and sold at auction last month, has tracked down and retrieved his vehicle, full of amplifiers and artwork. But it cost him $5,500.
The man who bought the 2003 Dodge Ram at a city auction, one Jose Lopez, of Mott Haven in the Bronx, paid $1,000 for the car and its contents, which included some expensive 1970s-era amplifiers and a hand-drawn set of tarot cards. He drove a hard bargain when Mr. Arthur tried to buy it back.
"The buyer had no obligation to sell it, so he kind of held it for ransom," said Carla Parisi, a publicist for the musician…

Even Pappy couldn't do it. Can Sonny?
Win a Rose Bowl, that is: something that has eluded every Cal coach in the last 75 years, including the legendary Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf. Waldorf did, however, make it to the Pasadena classic three times during his ten year reign, something his 12 successors accomplished just once.
Now it's Sonny's turn. Daniel (Sonny) Dykes, no biological offspring of Pappy, is the new man at the football helm in Berkeley. At his introductory press conference this week, Dykes talked about the importance of the Rose Bowl as if he understood it. "That's obviously everybody's goal in this program, is to reach the Rose Bowl. It means you won a conference championship. That's why you coach and play, to be part of championship football teams," Dykes said. "There's nothing like it. It's going to take a lot of work."
After several seconds of familiar phrases such as "hard work" and "improving every day", he finished with the resounding vow, " Every day we get in our car and come to work, our goal is going to be to get to the Rose Bowl, and not only get there but to win it."
Noble ambitions all, but those have frustrated a lot of good men in the 75 years since Cal beat Alabama, 13-0, on New Years Day, 1938. Waldorf came the closest in 1948, 1949 and 1950, losing close games in Pasadena all three times. Only one of his dozen successors even made it that far: Pete Elliott led Cal to the 1959 Rose Bowl, where the Bears were thrashed by Iowa.
There have been some high moments in the interim: Ray Willsey's Bear Minimum defense in 1968 got as high as eighth in the country; Mike White's 1975 team started slowly but were Pac-8 co-champs, and by the end of the year were probably as good as anybody anywhere; in 1991 Bruce Snyder's team went 10-2 and finished eighth in the country; Jeff Tedford's 2004 team with Aaron Rodgers should have made it to the Rose Bowl but for Texas coach Mack Brown's unseemly politicking of BCS voters - and three years later the Bears were a freshman mistake away from being ranked No. 1 nationally .
As far as high notes in three quarters of a century, that is pretty much that. So when Dykes talks about the "great California tradition," one wonders if he has really done all his homework. He admits that the job presents, "a challenge" but he will soon find out he's not in Ruston, Louisiana anymore. The job just seems to beat the coach down.
In an introductory gathering prior to Tedford's first year at Cal, I tried to offer him what I thought was an appropriate show of support. "I have been around Cal a long time," I told him "I know how tough your job is. Marv Levy won eight games in four years, then went to four Super Bowls in the pros. Coaching at Cal isn't easy."
Rather than receiving an expected thanks, I was rebuked. "Why is everybody here so negative?" he said sharply. "We can make this just like Oregon."
Tedford had considerable success at first, seeming to prove my initial observations as wrong. But finally the job caught up with him, as it seemingly does to everyone. Since Pappy resigned under pressure, only three Cal coaches left the job on their own volition: Elliott high-tailed it for Illinois going 2-8 in '59; Snyder had a falling out with the AD and Steve Mariucci ducked out the door after one year to become head coach of the 49ers. All the others were cashiered.
Dykes seems to have the requisite enthusiasm and football intelligence to succeed most places. Maybe he can make it work at Berkeley. I hope so.
His offensive scheme, known as "Air Raid" led the nation in scoring this past season. It is an up tempo, spread attack and the Bears got a sample of something like it in the 2004 Holiday Bowl when Dykes was an assistant at Texas Tech and the Red Raiders routed the Bears.
"We're not a true spread option team," Dykes said. "It's not going to be Oregon spread, it's not going to be Texas Tech spread. We run the football a lot. I think we ended up in the top 15 in the country in rushing and in the top 10 in passing. It's a diverse offense that can throw the ball, run the ball; it creates match-ups."
In what has become something of an accidental tradition, Dykes inherits a quarterback. Every Cal coach but one since Waldorf has walked in with a QB on the shelf. Waldorf left Joe Kapp for Elliott, who left Randy Gold for Levy, who left Craig Morton for Willsey, who left Steve Bartkowski for White, who left Rich Cambpell for Roger Theder, who left Gale Gilbert for Kapp, who left Troy Taylor for Snyder, who left Dave Barr for Keith Gilbertson, who left Pat Barnes for Mariucci. The string ended there, as luckless Tom Holmoe had to bring in Justin Vedder, but ultimately Kyle Boller was there for Tedford.
Now it is Allan Bridgford who awaits the new coach. Known as a quarterback who prefers to stay in the pocket, Bridgford, who started the last two games of 2011 after Zach Maynard was injured, says he can manage Dykes' offense.
"I think it will be a real nice fit for us," Bridgford said. "Coming out of high school I was recruited real hard by Texas Tech, and that was one of the schools I considered. This offense is about accuracy, decision making, and that was one of my strong suits."
He also said that would have no problem throwing on the run, and on the other hand Dykes said a pocket passer could thrive in his offense.
"I think in a perfect world, we would have a running (quarter) back that's mobile and could carry the ball 8 to 10 times a game, if it was a perfect world," Dykes said. "We haven't had that at Louisiana Tech. Our guys have been more pocket guys. That's kind of the style of play we've adjusted to."
Besides Bridgford, Dykes will have holdover Austin Hinder, redshirt freshman Zach Kline and presumably incoming recruit Jared Goff. He should be able to find somebody capable from that group.
It is on defense that the Bears need help, and Dykes' team was last in among all FBS teams in defense in 2011, giving up 526.1 yards per game. He explained that away at the press conference, saying his team was first in the WAC in defense in 2011, then graduated most of the players and decided to outscore people in 2012.
But obviously Dykes needs help in coaching defense, which brings us to another perpetual Berkeley problem: getting and keeping quality assistant coaches. The high cost of living in the Bay Area discourages many from even applying, much less staying.
Athletic director Sandy Barbour said the resources exist to offer adequate salaries, but given the hefty buyout due Tedford and Dykes' salary, which will top seven figures annually, a lot is already invested in football staff paychecks. When librarians are being laid off, it is hard to explain paying somebody $100,000 to coach linebackers.
Dykes is no stranger to the Pac-12 having worked at Arizona for two years as offensive coordinator before taking over at Louisiana Tech. And he seems genuinely impressed with Cal. I just hope he knows what he's getting himself into.

Welcome to Erotology.net
Erotology is the study of erotic expression, that is, any form of representation which seeks to sexually arouse its audience.
In the introduction to his Encyclopedia of Erotic Literature, C.J. Scheiner describes erotology thus:
Erotology is a multidisciplinary field. Its primary concern is the collection and investigation of all manner of expression concerned with sex. This includes not only the actual physical act of procreation, but the attitudes toward it, the social and cultural controls on it, the depictions of it in art and literature, the psychology and physiology (i.e. mind and body) at all levels of physical and mental complexity to explain the instigation and successful completion of copulation, and the artifices (aphrodisiacs) used to promote sexual activity. Erotology concerns itself with the real and tangible, as well as the symbolic and surrogate. Art, science, law, economy, criminology, theology, sociology, medicine, linguistics, ethnology and history are just a few of the 'major' academic disciplines that are readily identifiable as being concerned with the subject matter of erotology. Since the primary inborn, genetic instinct of the human being is successfully to reproduce its species, it is obvious that no element of human life is without sexual elements. It is the understanding of the evolution and the expression of these sexual elements that is the foundation of erotology.
This site is dedicated to the scholarly exploration and discussion of the field of erotology. It is designed to present a variety of representative materials and to stimulate discourse and collaboration toward a deeper understanding of the human condition.

Gerlach leads, Schouweiler in a close race for county commission (11:44 p.m.)
Rosemount will also have two unfamiliar faces -- sort of -- representing the city on the Dakota County Board of Commissioners. With 18,545 votes counted Tuesday Gerlach was leading Victoria Swanson 11,198 to 7,248 for the county commissioner seat in District 7. That district includes a narrow sliver of Rosemount's west side.
Things were significantly closer Tuesday in District 4, where incumbent Nancy Schouweiler led challenger Bill Klein 11,666 to 11,490 with 23,261 votes counted. District 4, which covers most of Rosemount, was created this year by redistricting. Rosemount's former county commissioner, Will Branning, did not seek another term.
Things get a little more familiar in the U.S. House race, where incumbent Republican John Kline appears to have won a close race over Democratic challenger Mike Obermueller. Minnesota Public Radio called the race for Kline with 75 percent of votes counted and Kline leading 122,476 to 106,642. In Dakota County voting Kline led 84,443 to 75,377 with 80 percent of votes counted.

Fans turn out to see Riverhounds christen Highmark Stadium
Fireworks, shot from a barge a few hundred feet away from Highmark Stadium, exploded overhead Saturday night as Pittsburgh Riverhounds defender Rich Costanzo walked along the stands and shook hands with young fans.
The scene smacked of celebration — and why not, as the Riverhounds had just completed the inaugural game at their sparkling new facility along the Monongahela River.
But Costanzo and company wished they had sent their capacity crowd, more than 3,900 strong, home with a better result.
On a night when professional soccer claimed a share of the spotlight in Pittsburgh, the Riverhounds (0-1-1) allowed a game-deciding goal in the 90th minute and lost, 2-1, to the Harrisburg City Islanders (1-0) in United Soccer League Professional Division play.
The result soured an otherwise surreal occasion for the Riverhounds, who from 1999 until this season, called high school stadiums home.
"It's second to none," Costanzo, a 2004 graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School, said of Highmark Stadium. "And I'm glad it's here in Pittsburgh. I wish this was here when I was a kid coming up through."
The game, scoreless halfway through the second half, gave fans plenty of up-tempo action. But a goal in the 70th minute sent the Riverhounds faithful into a frenzy.
Just seconds after stepping on the field as a substitute, forward Jose Angulo scored the Riverhounds' first goal of the season in the 70th minute when he charged toward the backside of the 6-yard box and headed in a cross from the deep right corner by Matt Dallman.
Coach Justin Evans believed that moment, though sweet, might've had an adverse effect on the Riverhounds.
"There was so much emotion in here when we scored, I saw our team doing things after that that we usually never do," Evans said.
Harrisburg answered eight minutes later with a breakaway goal by Sainey Touray, who sneaked a shot between goaltender Hunter Gilstrap's legs from close range.
Then, Harrisburg forward Lucky Mkosana's left foot volley found the back of the net just as the clock struck 90 minutes.
"That was a great feeling to get that first goal here at Highmark Stadium," Costanzo said, "but one goal won't always do it."
Harrisburg, pleased by the result, still walked off the field envious of what Pittsburgh now possesses.
"This is what we wish we had," City Islanders coach Bill Becher said. "Hopefully, we will. We're in talks. But this was just a great game and a great atmosphere."
The bee-boops of ticket scanners at Highmark Stadium began at 6 p.m., but fans started to celebrate the existence of a fan-friendly professional soccer facility in the South Side hours earlier.
Tailgaters, rare if non-existent when the Riverhounds called Bethel Park and Chartiers Valley High School stadiums home, turned up as early as 4 p.m. to embrace the new venue.
Among those early tailgaters eager to enter the riverside stadium were Bob Zebrasky Sr., 51, of Crafton Heights, and his sons, Bob, 26, and Ben, 24.
Both Bobs attended the Riverhounds' first game, held at Bethel Park Stadium, and remained fans during the decade-plus that followed. Bob Zebrasky Jr. now serves as the vice president of the Steel Army, the Riverhounds' official fan club.
"This is a million times better than we ever thought this would be," the younger Zebrasky said minutes after he and many other Steel Army members marched from Station Square to the stadium with drums booming and flags waving. "Last year, our biggest group was maybe 30 people. We've seen so many older members come back, and a lot of that has to do with the stadium and with what the front office has done."
Bob Zebrasky Jr. recalled that when he and his father attended the opener in 1999, they sat on a wall in Bethel Park Stadium because no seats were available in the stands. But seats became easier to find as the weeks — and seasons — progressed.
The Zebraskys sat in the heart of the Steel Army section, located behind the east goal, Saturday. Hundreds of others — some committed club members, some more casual supporters — were shoulder to shoulder with them, a far cry from the days when a much smaller Steel Army sat in its own group a section away from most fans at Chartiers Valley.
"We were kind of the outcasts there," Bob Zebrasky Jr. said. "Every night was like family night, and we were the weirdos down at the end with the drums and the flags."
The early tailgating and game attendance of several dozen Steel Army core supporters struck no one as unusual. But fans with far less Riverhounds zest also appeared in the lot west of the stadium.
Josh Nowak, 24, a Beth-Center High School alum, congregated with former classmates as they enjoyed beer and grilled food from about 4 p.m. until game time.
Nowak attended one or two Riverhounds games before Saturday, he said. He enjoyed the sport, but as a Washington County resident, he often lacked the desire to drive north to see games at high school fields.
Highmark Stadium, on the other hand, invited the idea of a short road trip.
"The view is perfect," Nowak said. "They couldn't have a found a better spot. It's not that bad of a drive, even for us. And for the price and with us growing up with the sport, we had to do this."
Just a few parking spaces down from Nowak's group, Steve Feinstein, 42, of Mt. Lebanon, watched as his son, Ben, 8, passed and shot at mini nets with other kids.
"The opportunities that they have are so much greater than anything we had," said Feinstein, who played through high school and now sends his son to the Riverhounds' youth development academy. "We want to make sure we support soccer in this town. It's always kind of a fight here for soccer because of all the other great teams."
As Riverhounds technical director Gene Klein, an assistant in 1999 and the head coach from 2006 through 2009, looked out at the city from the stands, he said the perception of his organization's professionalism should rival that of Pittsburgh's other teams.
"I vividly remember in 1999, walking into Bethel Park before a sellout crowd, and it was really thrilling," Klein said. "But it was still a high school stadium. This (venue) takes it to another level. No one can question the professionalism of this organization."

Frankly Music's Chamber Pyrotechnics
Classical Preview
Frankly Music (violinist Frank Almond, cellist Joseph Johnson and
pianist Michael Mizrahi) performs the single work by which Giuseppe Tartini
(1692-1770) is known to us today: the Violin Sonata in G Minor, better known as
the Devil's Trill sonata. Though Tartini wrote copiously, he never
sought fame as a composer, but rather maintained a widespread reputation as the
greatest violinist of his day and founder of an important school of violin
playing. The Devil's Trill sonata gets its name from the difficult
violin cadenza that appears near the end of the last movement (legend has it
that the theme for this trille du diable came to Tartini in a dream).
The Piano Trio No. 1
in D Minor, Op. 49 of Felix Mendelssohn (1809-47) is recognized as one of his
most popular and best chamber works. A lively and melodic piece, it was the D
Minor Trio that prompted fellow composer Robert Schumann, in a review, to
assert that "Mendelssohn is the Mozart of the 19th century, the most
illuminating of musicians."
Equally famous among
chamber works is the Piano Trio No. 4 in E Minor, Op. 90 by Antonín Dvorák
(1841-1904). The entire work is based upon Ukrainian folk music, from which it
gets its name, Dumky (a word that derives from Ukrainian for a ballad or
lament). The E Minor Trio's six movements alternate slow, melancholy sections
with up-tempo Slavic dances, giving it more the feeling of a song cycle than
that of a formal piano trio.
It is song, indeed,
that flavors nearly every work of composer Ned Rorem (b. 1923). America's
foremost proponent of art song, Rorem's works are lyrical, clear and largely
tonal. Even the movements of works such as his Day Music and Night
Music for violin and piano have titles that are songlike (Pearls, Extreme Leisure, Saying Goodbye,
Driving Off). "I conceive all music vocally," Rorem explains.
"Whatever my music is written for…it is always the singer within me crying to
get out."
"The Mendelssohn and
Dvorák trios are really staples of the repertory that everyone will enjoy,"
Almond predicts, "and the Rorem pieces are beautiful… The Tartini is also
interesting to hear live, considering its intimate connection with the violin
I'm playing." The instrument Almond mentions is his Stradivarius violin from
1715, thus making it contemporaneous with Giuseppe Tartini.
Frankly Music performs all four of the above-mentioned works on May 10 in the Dawes Studio Theater of the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts in Brookfield.

Data breaches in the news over the past two months have affected millions of people; 110 million Target shoppers and 1.1 million Neiman Marcus customers. Retailer Michaels Stores is investigating a possible data breach. In addition, some Marriott Hotels, Holiday Inns, Sheratons, and other sites managed by White Lodging Hotels were also the target of cybercriminals. As these retailers, businesses, and industry experts brief Congress on the situation, consumers are learning more about the implications of cybercrime. The overall takeaway is that data breaches are common and will continue. In fact, as The Washington Post reported in "Experts warn of coming wave of serious cybercrime," "Only 11% of businesses have adopted industry-standard security measures … and that even these 'best practices' fall short of what's needed to defeat aggressive hackers."
Here are some of the shocking numbers around data breaches:
- According to a study by the Ponemon Institute, cybercrime costs U.S. companies an average of $11.5 million in 2012, which was up 26% from 2010
- Companies are learning of these breaches months after they begin
- U.S. banks spent more than $153 million replacing 15.3 million debit and credit cards after the Target incident (read more)
Perhaps most alarming: in the case of Target, it was not just the credit card and debit card numbers that were stolen—the hackers also grabbed other data such as names, addresses, and telephone numbers. So, it's not just our finances that are at risk, but much of our personal information.
Unfortunately, cybercriminals are way ahead of how businesses handle purchases, and how they guard against cybercrime. As Christopher Soghoian, principal technologist at the American Civil Liberties Union told The Washington Post, "Our decades-old payment system was not designed with cybersecurity in mind. Times have changed. Data breaches now occur on a weekly basis, the result of which is that consumers become victims of fraud and identity theft."
Businesses, the government, and even consumers all play a role in fighting what is expected to be an increase in cybercrime. Credit card companies and retailers are moving up their timeframes for adopting the EMV technology in Europe, which embeds a chip in the card instead of the magnetic stripe; this chip creates a new code for each transaction. According to the New York Times, the "cases have reignited calls for federal legislation setting database security standards and consumer notification requirements." And consumers are urged to be vigilant in checking their credit card statements.
"When studying this topic empirically," says MIT Sloan Professor and digital security expert Catherine Tucker, "one thing that really struck me was the extent to which so many breaches were due to employee error. Indeed, it seemed that when companies relied too heavily on technologies like encryption to protect them, it led them to put less time into ensuring that their employees understood the appropriate measures to take to protect customers' data."
What's the takeaway? There's a lot more retailers need to start doing to protect their consumers from cybercrime.
Catherine Tucker is an Associate Professor of Marketing at MIT Sloan and teaches in the MIT Sloan Executive Education programs, Driving Strategic Innovation Throughout the Value Chain, Platform Strategy: Building and Thriving in a Vibrant Economy, Strategic Marketing for the Technical Executive, Systematic Innovation of Products, Processes, and Services, and the Global Executive Academy.

I'm sitting in Section 34, Row 1, Seat 101 at Wrigley Field. That puts me just to the left of John Rocker, which isn't hard to do. A Noriega-Pinochet political ticket is to the left of Rocker.
It's Memorial Day and you would have to be a hermit to miss the significance and irony of Rocker being here on this particular holiday. People fought wars for his inalienable right to be a knucklehead and say stupid things. And, in a further coincidence, Rocker is a military man himself, a highly decorated member of the 101st Bowhunter Division (Smoky Mountains theater).

Nine residents in Greenmoor Road, Egremont, Cumbria, fled the 1960s-built bungalows after a 30ft (9m) hole appeared in back gardens on Sunday.
The area was used extensively for iron ore mining and the collapse is thought to have been caused by subsidence.
Five people have been allowed to return to their homes. But safety fears mean four others cannot.
The properties are owned by Home Housing, which is appointing a specialist consultant engineer to visit the site.
The hole, which quickly filled with red water because of lingering iron ore deposits, emerged in the early hours of Sunday.
Alternative accommodation
A spokeswoman for Home Housing North West said: "Five of the residents have been allowed to return to their homes.
"But unfortunately we have four people who are still out.
"We are trying to find them alternative accommodation in Egremont and are working to make ready a number of void buildings.
"It could be some time before we know what will happen to the affected properties."
The area around the collapse remains cordoned off.
Dave Banks, of the West Cumbria Mines Research Group, said there was a risk to adjacent properties from the collapse.
He said the most likely cause was recent heavy rain which may have affected the water table in the area.

Earthjustice was more than a little surprised to hear that a regional office of the Tongass National Forest is moving ahead with plans to open a roadless area in America's largest temperate rainforest to logging. The Central Kupreanof timber sale project, would carve 15 miles of new roads and log 1,339 acres of old growth forest. But this is not a done deal. As the press release from the regional national forest office admits… "The Final EIS is being released without an accompanying Record of Decision (ROD) in light of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary's memorandum dated May 28, 2009, which stated the Secretary reserved decision-making authority over construction and reconstruction of roads and the cutting, sale or removal of timber in Inventoried Roadless Areas (IRA)." Earthjustice attorney, Tom Waldo called the news, "a reckless action by local officials in the Tongass National Forest…The Secretary of Agriculture should just say no to this project." The final decision now sits on the desk of Agriculture secretary, Tom Vilsack. contributed by Brian Smith Tags: Forest Service, Forests

While it has become clear that the Surface RT has failed to deliver on the initial hype and hoopla surrounding it, it's no secret that the device was let down by its software though it excelled on the hardware front. The lack of apps compatible with Windows RT together with its inability to run legacy Windows apps (hundreds of thousands of which already exists in the system) have further compounded the prospects of the Surface RT device, which is now having to go through a lean phase in the market. However, there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel.
XDA member mamaich is claiming to have developed a tool that will let Windows RT to run legacy x86 apps. It's still in the beta stage, which means it's too early to be too excited. As is usually the case with beta versions, there might be a few nasty surprises, so user discretion is strongly advised. Also, while mamaich has stated he intends to open up all x86 app for the Windows RT platform, there will be a few apps that will never be made compatible with Windows RT given its lack of a few key features, such as D3D9 extensions or OpenGL. Processor intensive apps will never be seen in action in a Windows RT environment. Also, of course, the Surface RT will have to be unlocked in order to install the modification. This will entail letting go of the standard Microsoft warranty.
In short, while all of the above makes for an interesting development, installing the tool right now should best be left to experts or the brave hearts, while other can wait for the tool to evolve further.

It is no surprise that ex beauty queen Aishwarya Rai is every boys dream girl. Well, this is true at least in the Bollywood industry, where every new comers dreams to act opposite the gorgeous beauty. But guess what? Our Ram leela dude thinks the other way.
It is learnt that Ranveer Singh is not a big fan of Ash and that he is not really bothered whether the actress is doing an item song in Ram Leela or not.
Buzz was that the actress will be seen doing a cameo in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram leela, mostly in the form of an item number. However, the latest we hear is Priyanka Chopra has replaced Ash.
Now, when Ranveer was asked if he wished Ash would have done the item song instead of Priyanka and that if he missed her, Singh said: "Not really. I wasn't in Mumbai when the speculation about her doing a song in Ram Leela started doing the rounds. When I came back, I was told that Priyanka was doing it," Singh told the daily.
Now that's some attitude ah!
