In the deadliest blast, 25 people were killed and 65 wounded when a car bomb ripped through a busy marketplace north-east of the capital Baghdad.
Earlier, a car bomb killed 12 in a market in Hilla, south of Baghdad.
The latest attack, which hit a bakery in Baghdad's south-eastern Jedida district, left nine dead and 10 injured, police said.
The blast came as rescue officials were still clearing the scene from the earlier bomb attack on a vegetable market in the Shia district of Husseiniya, some 32km (20 miles) north of Baghdad.
The car bomb in Hilla, 100km (60 miles) south of Baghdad, targeted a second-hand car market. The blast killed 12 people and wounded 32.
In other violence:
Anbar deployment
Meanwhile, the US military said it had decided to move a reserve force of about 1,500 troops from Kuwait into the western Iraqi province of Anbar.
Troops will be deployed in an attempt to help establish the rule of law throughout the volatile province.
Anbar province, which stretches west of Baghdad to the Syrian border, has seen some of the fiercest fighting in the Sunni-led insurgency.
The reserve force will bolster the US and Iraqi troops already serving there.
BBC Middle East analyst Roger Hardy says the move, which was announced by the Pentagon, underscores how dangerous the situation has become in Anbar.
US officials have acknowledged that parts of the sparsely-populated province are held by insurgents, including sections of the regional capital, Ramadi, which one official referred to as the "most contested city" in Iraq.
Ramadi lies just 122km (70 miles) west of Baghdad and officials believe that depriving the insurgents of a foothold there is a vital step towards protecting the Iraqi capital.
Threat of force
In a separate development, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki said he would fly to the southern city of Basra on Wednesday to try to halt the in-fighting between his fellow Shias.
In an interview with Reuters, Mr Maliki said he was ready to use force against gangs who held crucial oil exports and other trade to ransom.
"There's no way we can leave Basra, the gateway to Iraq, our imports and exports, at the mercy of criminal, terrorist gangs," he said. "We will use force against these gangs."
His comments came after a small Shia faction threatened to halt oil exports through Basra in an attempt to exert leverage over the Iraqi government.
And in an interview with the BBC, Mr Maliki also insisted he had a better chance of tackling the daily carnage in Iraq than his predecessors because he was head of the country's first permanent administration since the US-led invasion.
"Previous governments were either temporary or transitional. They did not receive full backing from the Iraqi people to deal with this issue," he said.

Feature Article of Wednesday, 10 October 2012
Columnist: National Democrat
The biggest calamity that can befall a man is when he lies to himself. When a man is poor but thinks himself rich, when he is wicked but thinks he is kind or when he is foolish but thinks himself wise; then he is in such a calamity that is beyond redemption.
To avoid such a calamity, it is important to often do a self-examination of one's self. It is important for a person to sometimes stand outside himself to look at himself from the world's perpective. Sadly, some people do not do this exercise and we believe that one of such persons is Paa Kwesi Nduom, flag-bearer of the PPP. Of all the flag-bearers vying for the Presidency, Nduom is the least inspiring. He is a man full of froth with no substance as far as politics is concerned. Only if he knows how the world perceives him!
Nduom thinks himself God's divine gift to Ghana. Everybody else lacks vision for Ghana, except him. No one has the keys to Ghana's success except him. After just a comparatively brief stint in government, he suddenly is the initiator of almost everything that is good in Ghana, including the George Walker Bush Highway!
Now, he is at his irritating best. In a facebook post on Monday, he claimed that "…there is no BETTER GHANA agenda anywhere". Here him; "This government has failed because if you go to communities throughout the length and breadth of this country, many, many people are drinking disease infected water. The low quality of education is making many of our children fail examinations. They cannot advance their education and go to a higher level. "Electricity has remained a problem, and now we are experiencing the severe inconvenience of LOAD SHEDDING, which quite simply means, you are working and all of a sudden you have no power. You are holding an important event, and you must look for a generator. You look at the bad roads, the dangerous roads our people have to travel on. And in this 21st Century our people still are encountering and suffering from Malaria, Cholera, Guinea worm and we hear yellow fever has reappeared in parts of our country."
A close examination of the argument he has put up on his facebook shows how hollow he is. Even A JHS student who is sincere to himself will not put forward this argument. Honestly, it is not untrue that there are communities throughout the length and breadth of this country where many, many people are drinking disease infected water as Ndoum claims. The question is whether those communities had clean water during the tenure of the NPP government of which he, Nduom, was a key member from 2001 to 2008? If villagers in Ghana have been drinking disease infected water, what did the NPP government do about it? What did Nduom do about it? Lest we forget, thanks to the collaboration between the then NDC government of Jerry Rawlings and the Carter Centre, Guinea worm was eradicated from Ghana by 2000 when the NDC was on its way out of office. This simply means that the NDC government found a way of ensuring that villages that hitherto depended on guinea worm infested water, one way or the other, had access to clean drinking water.
Now, it is a fact that by the time the NPP government and Paa Kwesi Nduom were leaving power in 2008, Ghana had once more become a guinea worm endemic country, second to only war-torn Sudan in the whole world! So, how is it that Nduom should be the one talking about a government having failed because people still drink disease infested water?
If people are once more drinking disease infected water, then Nduom should point accusing fingers at the NPP government of J.A. Kufuor of which he was a part. Here is a government which preferred to put up the Golden Jubilee House at the cost of over nine hundred billion cedis and splash billions more on the Ghana@50 celebrations at a time the vast majority of Ghanaians who gave it the mandate to rule were having less and less access to potable drinking water. Between water and the Golden Jubilee House, which is more important to ordinary Ghanaians?
Again, see who is talking about a government having failed because of load shedding! If load shedding is a pointer that a government has failed, then does Nduom accept that he and the NPP government were a total failure since Ghana went through the worse load shedding exercise in 2007 under J A Kufuor, an exercise that saw the collapse of many businesses in Ghana and swelled up the unemployment rate? Analyzing Nduom's hypocrisy is one of the most painful exercises in the world because his brand of hypocrisy is nauseating. Hear him talking about roads being bad today! The simple question is whether the roads would have been bad today if the NPP government of which he was apart lived up to its loud promises and rehabilitated them. Today, thanks to the first NDC government, among many others, the road from the Tetteh Quarshie roundabout which runs in front of the airport, the Golden Tulip Hotel and passes in front of the Dutch embassy where the three-tier interchange was put up is still serving its purpose. Then there is the road from the Tema end of the motorway roundabout to the Habour, built by the NDC government and still serving its purpose. Let Nduom point to just one major road the NPP put up at in the capital for us all to see.
The Ako Adjei Interchange ( formerly Sankara interchange) was put up the NDC government of which President John Mahama was part to solve the vehicular traffic problem that had plagued that section of the road network in Accra. Can Nduom and the NPP government compare that eye-sore of a roundabout that they put up at the Tetteh Quarshie roundabout to the Ako Adjei Interchange? Has the eye-sore put up at the Tetteh Quarshie roundabout solved the vehicular traffic problem? Of course not! It has compounded it!
Tema residents have always voted for the NPP. Yet, throughout their eight years stay in office, Nduom and the NPP government could not rehabilitate even a kilometer of the roads in the harbor city. By the time the NDC took over, some of the pot-holes had become so big that one would think galamsey operators were mining on the roads. Today, many of these roads have been rehabilitated and asphalted. Let Nduom go to Tema and he will bow down his head in shame. It is an irony and an insult to Ghanaians that the PPP flag-bearer should be calling himself 'adwumawura' when the fact is that under the NPP government of which he was a key member, unemployment was created through policies that sent industries and companies collapsing. Does Nduom know the number of people who were rendered unemployed through the collapse of VALCO? Does he know how many people were rendered jobless as a result of the collapse of the Poultry, Textiles & Garment as well as the Rice industries in Ghana?
Democracy has enjoined Ghanaians to tolerate the likes of Paa Kwesi Nduom. He offers comic relief to many in a political atmosphere that has been made tense by the desperation with which some people want power so much that they are calling for the annihilation of some tribes, declaring the elections an 'all-die-be-die"affair, have vowed to win " at all cost" believing that the elections should be a "guerilla war" to which they can at least use pestles as weapons since pestles do not have to be licensed; moreover, every household has one. Nduom can continue to deceive himself that he is a Presidential material. The vast majority of Ghanaians know he is not, a fact that was made clear to him when he recorded less than one percent of total votes cast in the 2008 elections even though he stood on the ticket of the CPP, a party founded by the illustrious Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
It is just as well that Nduom left the CPP because he was beginning to turn the party into a laughing stock. With the likes of him out of the party, it (the party) for once, is having the wind of peace blowing through it. He has been good riddance to the CPP.
Every cloud has a silver lining! Even Nduom has one; comic relief. Ghanaians need more from him as we head towards the December elections where we know he will not even win a single parliamentary seat! He should re-examine himself – perhaps, he would have been Ghana's answer to Warren Buffet, Roman Abrahmovich or even Bill Gates if he had chosen to be performing as a member of the Key Soap Concert Party drama group especially with his well designed moustache!

This is moderately cool: Old Man's War featured in a comic strip. Here's the whole thing. You can tell where my brain is because my first thought after "hey, that's my name in a cartoon strip" was "I certainly hope that man was able to complete his sale before he was dragged off." Yeah, what can I say. I'm a sales whore.
(Update: "Unshelved" co-creator Bill Barnes tells me that the strip takes place in a library, so there's no purchase to conclude. Yes, but if the library has six copies, that's still six copies sold, because, you know, they don't give copies of the book to libraries for free. I still win! (Actually, I gave my local library a free copy. I'm a softy when it comes to libraries. And some of my favorite people are librarians. You know who you are, dahlinks.))
And as long as we're on the subject: A nice write-up of the book over on Electric Minds.

Attorney Kope and his team are highly skilled professionals who go the extra mile for their clients. While nobody can promise results, it's clear that Attorney Kope lives up to his promise of working for the best possible outcome for each of his clients, and I think this personal attention is what sets Attorney Kope and his firm apart from the rest.
Posted by Margot
The best representation I could have asked for.: I was facing what I thought was a hopeless situation after I was arrested early this year. I hired Mr. Kope as my attorney after he was recommended to me by some friends. I walked away with barely a fine. He saved my career and life. HIRE HIM!!!
Posted by anonymous
very professional lawyer who kept me informed and always seemed on top of my case. my outcome was 99% as he predicted it would be and i feel you can't get better than that. I would recommend him to anyone.
Posted by Tony
I have used Mr. Kope for about 3 years now in my various business affairs. He not only incorporated my businesses, but also prepared all my contracts, employee handbooks, and buy-sale agreements. He has also managed to save my companies from three different law suits. I recommend him to anyone needing a good all around attorney.
Posted by anonymous
I was facing several aggravated assault charges of which i know in my heart i was not guilty. Based on a recommendation, I hired Mr. Kope. Although he looked a little young and seemed expensive, I took a chance. It was absolutely the best choice I could have made. Mr. Kope managed to get all the charges dismissed other than some minor ones that I could deal with. He was very knowledgable and kept me in the loop the whole time. Those kind of results and that kind of comfort is priceless
Posted by anonymous
Mr. Kope represented me in two matters. I was facing criminal charges to which he managed to get dismissed. I also own a small business that was being sued by a consumer protection group. At the end of it all, the consumer group walked away with nothing. I would recommend him to anyone. He is a little pricey, but i think you get what you pay for.
Posted by anonymous
He was professional but I paid for his services and he had an esquire do his work without asking me or lowering my rates. She, herself, told me he had just hired her and she was new to the area.
I spent $3000 for a divorce and don't have one. Not even a settlement. He also wrote me a letter about a month ago, stating that if he was going to do anymore work, I'd have to open my case again and pay for that....I feel ripped off. If I spent $3000 on the internet and never received the goods, that would be a crime. He takes $3000 and I have nothing and somehow, that's legal...

Flex folks, first of all, today there's a new official statement out on the Adobe website about Adobe's commitments to the Flash Platform including plans for Flex that you should be aware of. Secondly there's a new post from the Product Management team out now summarizing the recent Flex Q&A. There's been a lot of frustration in the community (which I understand and can personally relate to having been part of the community myself for a very long time) and I wish that the sequence of events (and frankly the communication) did not happen as it did, but it is what it is at this point and we need to carry on. I hope people can see this move of Flex to an Apache model with dedicated full-time engineering resources in San Francisco as the good news that it is!! Flex is alive and well and will continue to grow as the dust settles. Even now we can build amazing applications over many other technologies in half the amount of time with it in its current state. And the growth in Flex and AIR for mobile is allowing us to do some super cool and fun stuff which is about to just get better with the upcoming release of Flex 4.6 in a couple weeks!
I realize people's trust is tarnished and people are scorned and angry, but please try to remove your emotions from the equation and look at this for what it is. Any good developer knows that technology is ever-changing and you have to ride the current wave. It's evident that HTML 5/JavaScript is gaining ground and needs to be kept on our radar of things to be learning (whether we love it or not). It should also be considered as an option right now for certain applications where it makes more sense. As much as I am passionate about Flex myself, it can be overkill for many applications. And what better way to refine our skills in the HTML/JS arena by actually building some apps to gain the experience. As we all know though, there are still a ton of applications where it makes more sense to use Flex (enterprise and many mobile AIR apps) and fortunately we still have that option!
I know many of you are having to answer some tough questions from your clients and management about all of this, I hope today's statements can help in that respect. If there was a way I could change how things happened myself or wave a magic do-over wand I would in a heartbeat . This has not been easy for any of us. I just hope we can now start channeling our frustrations into something more positive and productive and get back to having some fun!
I will continue to post any updates on the move to Apache as I find out. Start thinking about how you might be able to contribute !

I've written a few custom components in my time working with ADEP but recently came across an excellent summary of what exactly these little (or in some cases large!) pieces of code actually are. A recent blog post on the Adobe ADEP blog summarised it nicely:
A DSC is a component that can be installed on a Documents Server and introduces new functionality. It stands for Document Service Component. Most product components are DSCs but customers can write their own DSCs to create new integrations or functionality that require a higher level of sophistication than is appropriate with the use of standard integration options (e.g SOAP) or scripting/process maps. They are basically POJOs with nifty enterprise configurations around them that allow enterprise class life cycle, versioning and configuration (e.g. in an enterprise BPM system you don't necessarily want a new version of a component to alter the way an inflight process is operating, or how a completed process reports audit data…) or even have to bounce the server to change the implementation of the DSC. It is definitely part of the secrete sauce of LiveCycle/ADEP Document Services.
Original article at http://michaelsteward.com/2011/10/09/defining-document-services-custom-components-dscs/.
Solutions over ADEP have introduced the concept of an application context (aka app context), which can be seen as a unique identifier, that various server side modules use to identify the execution context (from the current execution thread) and process requests in context of that solution. For instance, when persisting content/assets onto the CRX repository, the platform's persistence module (official known as Platform Content) uses the current (invoking) app context to determine where to store the content/assets, and what configurations to use (which would typically be different for different solutions). See snapshot below, indicating the solution specific content areas.
Note that the storage location is /content/apps/cm for Correspondence Management, and /content/apps/icr for Integrated Content Review, which happen to be the app contexts for the two solutions.
Since it is essential for the server to identify the execution context, if you do not set or establish the application context before you make calls to the solution APIs, you will encounter a server error that says : "Unable to fetch application context". To set the app context, use one of the two methods:
If you are invoking a solution API from a flex application, ensure that you set the app context using:
var appToken:AsyncToken = com.adobe.ep.ux.content.services.search.lccontent.LCCQueryServiceFactory.getInstance().setAppContextService("/content/apps/cm"); // setting app context for the CM solution
appToken.addResponder(new mx.rpc.Responder(<your success handler>, <your fault handler>));
If you are invoking a solution API from a java based application, ensure that you set the app context using:
com.adobe.livecycle.content.appcontext.AppContextManager.setCurrentAppContext("/content/apps/cm"); // setting app context for the CM solution
The app context concept is also used (or rather leveraged) in other scenarios such as driving solution specific Building Block (BB) configurations. Since a Building Block is meant to be reusable across solutions, it exposes certain configurations that can be different for different solutions. Hence, the BB needs to behave differently depending upon the context in which it is being used or invoked. Below is an example where the Data Dictionary BB is used by two solutions – CM and ICR – and has configurations specific to each solution, lying within the solution's specific app context – /apps/cm for CM and /apps/icr for ICR.

This blog post is part of the series on customizing the Adobe Integrated Content Review solution.
In the Assets view of the Integrated Content Review solution interface, you can find an asset using either basic or advanced search. You can perform advanced search using search attributes, such as campaign name, manager, state, status, and timeline. Besides these attributes, you can create new search attributes. These custom attributes appear in the advanced search options and search results.
To modify the advanced search parameters, you must update the FML file describing an asset. A few custom attributes for assets are predefined—for example, brand of an asset, asset height, asset width, and so on.
The following steps use a pre-defined, asset-level attribute to modify an asset's FML file:
Following is an explanation of the properties of the attribute:
For example, the following sample can be used to add a new attribute titled Brand in the advanced search pane.
<property name="brandName" type="string">
<annotation name="DDS">
<item name="displayName">Brand</item>
<item name="visible">true</item>
<item name="searchable">true</item>
<item name="searchPath">WorkItem.attributes.brand</item>
<item name="columnOrder">5</item>
<item name="basicSearchEnabled">false</item>
<item name="extendedPropertyPath">WorkItem.attributes.brand</item>
<item name="assetPropertyType">extended</item>
An instance of the advanced search pane and the search results, as they appear after this customization, are shown below.

Homeland Security:
Progress Has Been Made to Address the Vulnerabilities Exposed by 9/11, but Continued Federal Action Is Needed to Further Mitigate Security Risks
GAO-07-375: Published: Jan 24, 2007. Publicly Released: Jan 24, 2007.

(202) 512-4800
Five years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, GAO is taking stock of key efforts by the President, Congress, federal agencies, and the 9/11 Commission to strengthen or enhance critical layers of defense in aviation and border security that were directly exploited by the 19 terrorist hijackers. Specifically, the report discusses how: (1) commercial aviation security has been enhanced; (2) visa-related policies and programs have evolved to help screen out potential terrorists; (3) federal border security initiatives have evolved to reduce the likelihood of terrorists entering the country through legal checkpoints; and (4) the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other agencies are addressing several major post-9/11 strategic challenges. The report reflects conclusions and recommendations from a body of work issued before and after 9/11 by GAO, the Inspectors General of DHS, State, and Justice, the 9/11 Commission, and others. It is not a comprehensive assessment of all federal initiatives taken or planned in response to 9/11. GAO is not making any new recommendations at this time since over 75 prior recommendations on aviation security, the Visa Waiver Program, and U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT), among others, are in the process of being implemented. Continued monitoring by GAO will determine whether further recommendations are warranted.
While the nation cannot expect to eliminate all risks of terrorist attack upon commercial aviation, agencies have made progress since 9/11 to reduce aviation-related vulnerabilities and enhance the layers of defense directly exploited by the terrorist hijackers. In general, these efforts have resulted in better airline passenger screening procedures designed to identify and prevent known or suspected terrorists, weapons, and explosives from being allowed onto aircraft. Nevertheless, the nation's commercial aviation system remains a highly visible target for terrorism, as evidenced by recent alleged efforts to bring liquid explosives aboard aircraft. DHS and others need to follow through on outstanding congressional requirements and recommendations by GAO and others to enhance security and coordination of passengers and checked baggage, and improve screening procedures for domestic flights, among other needed improvements. GAO's work indicates that the government has strengthened the nonimmigrant visa process as an antiterrorism tool. New measures added rigor to the process by expanding the name-check system used to screen applicants, requiring in-person interviews for nearly all applicants, and revamping consular officials' training to focus on counterterrorism. Nevertheless, the immigrant visa process may pose potential security risks and we are reviewing this issue. To enhance security and screening at legal checkpoints (air, land, and sea ports) at the nation's borders, agencies are using technology to verify foreign travelers' identities and detect fraudulent travel documents such as passports. However, DHS needs to better manage risks posed by the Visa Waiver Program, whereby travelers from 27 countries need not obtain visas for U.S. travel. For example, GAO recommended that DHS require visa-waiver countries to provide information on lost or stolen passports that terrorists could use to gain entry. We also recommended that DHS provide more information to Congress on how it plans to fully implement US-VISIT--a system for tracking the entry, exit, and length of stay of foreign travelers. While much attention has been focused on mitigating the specific risks of 9/11, other critical assets ranging from passenger rail stations to power plants are also at risk of terrorist attack. Deciding how to address these risks--setting priorities, making trade-offs, allocating resources, and assessing social and economic costs--is essential. Thus, it remains vitally important for DHS to continue to develop and implement a risk-based framework to help target where and how the nation's resources should be invested to strengthen security. The government also faces strategic challenges that potentially affect oversight and execution of new and ongoing homeland security initiatives, and GAO has deemed three challenges in particular--information sharing, risk management, and transforming DHS as a department--as areas needing urgent attention. DHS and the Department of State reviewed a draft of this report and both agencies generally agreed with the information. Both agencies provided technical comments that were incorporated as appropriate.

Pomeroy Words of Wisdom
April 30th, 2012 | SMWC
Be prepared, be flexible and, most importantly, stay positive. These were just a few pearls of wisdom four recent SMWC graduates handed to a group of current students. Jennifer Cassidy '11, Chanel Reeder '10, Erin Pugh '11 and Emily Thiesing '11 discussed the challenges of transitioning from student to professional during an event sponsored by the Office of Career Development on April 25, 2012.
"You're learning life lessons," said Thiesing, who works for Select Show Horses, Sheridan, Ind., and Taylor Turn Stables, Indianapolis, Ind. "You can't get discouraged. You're Woods women and you will rely on the education you got here."
The panel answered questions and shared experiences about life after college. From surprises to successes, the women stressed the importance of:
- Managing time and money.
- Adjusting priorities.
- Paying deposits on apartments and utilities.
- Making a budget.
- Creating a professional wardrobe.
- Moving back home with parents.
- Networking with alums, students and professionals.
- Applying and interviewing for jobs is good experience, even if you aren't offered the position.
- Working while going to graduate school.
- Creating multiple job search strategies.
- Knowing when to take a risk and when to play it safe.
Cassidy is a legal assistant for Wanzer Edwards, PC, Reeder is the director of alumnae affairs and annual giving at SMWC and Pugh is working on her MBA at Indiana State University, while serving as the staff assistant for Indiana Congressman Larry Bucshon.
The Office of Career Development provides many professional opportunities to both students and alums. For more information about how SMWC can help your career take off, visit career development online!

Fall and winter are undoubtedly my most favorite seasons to dress for, yet they can also be the most frustrating constraints when it comes to showing unique, personal style. As coats are obviously a necessity during this time of the year in New York, it takes some pretty great outerwear and accessories to be able to emit a unique and fashionable vibe.
Although black, it is the cut of this Fashionisto's coat that makes it a truly awesome piece. With both an asymmetrical zipper and hemline, the lines that are created are unlike any other I have ever seen on a coat, only to be outdone by the dramatically oversized turtleneck. Layered over a fitted gray turtleneck sweater, the coat looks incredibly runway chic and could make this Fashionisto stand out even without his leather accessories.
I have been lusting over a pair of patent leather maroon shoes for some time now, as the color is becoming integrated into my wardrobe more and more with each shopping spree I complete. Exemplified here, maroon goes well with any other neutral and is a great way to infuse a subtle flare of color. By deviating from the normal black shoe, this Fashionisto was also able to tie in his buttery camel bag because of the warmer hues found in both items.
Perhaps it is due to my love for colored ombré, or my envy of girls with giant mermaid waves, but I have always found hair to be the best accessory in the world. A daring hairdo immediately gives any Fashionista or Fashionisto street-cred, and is a permanent way for an individual to show how risky they are willing to be with their style. Naturally, I LOVED this Fashionisto's silvery/grey swooped 'do. Screaming attitude, his hair had a high fashion edge that brought the term 'silver fox' to a whole new level.
Hint: Like this Fashionisto did, try straying away from the typical leather briefcase and go for a bag with a more unique shape to carry daily necessities in. Staying with a neutral color will allow the bag to be paired with any other hues and thus any outfit. Try scoping one out with a small pattern or hints of hardware for a subtle stylish kick.

POLICE have been urged to re-open roads more quickly in future, following complaints about the length of time the A64 was shut after a crash last week.
The road network across York was hit by traffic chaos when motorists were diverted through the city for up to six hours after the three-vehicle accident, which happened on the dual carriageway at 11.15am last Tuesday.
York council leader James Alexander said yesterday he had received complaints from residents, one of whom had referred to the incident as "carmageddon".
He said police did a very difficult job, but he was concerned about the time taken to reopen the road, which "no doubt had a large effect on the local economy for the day". He said he wanted to ensure such long closures were not seen again.
A North Yorkshire Police spokeswoman said officers had finished their investigation into the accident by 3pm and the eastbound carriageway reopened at 3.15pm, but the westbound carriageway was then in the hands of the Highways Agency which cleared the debris, and she understood it then reopened at about 5.30pm.
She said: "Police need to close the road to enable the recovery of casualties and to ensure a thorough investigation is carried out to bring those responsible to justice. In this case, there was the added need to preserve evidence in relation to the suspected crimes linked to the driver who was later charged with eight offences."
Three people were injured in the accident, but none suffered life-threatening injuries.

The Wallabies are banking on the fresh legs and physicality of David Pocock and Tatafu Polota-Nau to fight fatigue and get them over the line against Wales in their 15th and final Test this year.
After the side-effects of a torrid year almost scuppered an Australian victory in Florence last week, Wallabies coach Robbie Deans and the medical staff have gone for a delicate balance. ''We've done what we can, we think we've managed the week appropriately,'' Deans said. ''It's good to have a player like [Pocock] back to us because he will bring a real energy and enthusiasm, having had to watch for a while. But we'll find out.''
Pocock's first start since injuring his knee in August is double-edged, lending freshness but also carrying risk.

Over the weekend, blogger Jim Hanson (aka "Uncle Jimbo" at Blackfive) appeared on CNN's "This Week at War" where he asked about how the U.S. military was going to improve its response to the pretty sophisticated usage of the media that Islamic terrorists have begun to develop.
Of course, the fact that the terrorists have gotten good at using the media isn't simply a deficiency of the Pentagon. It's also one of the western media. Hanson pointed this out and mentioned CNN's airing of a tape of an al Quaeda sniper killing an American soldier as being part of the problem.
"You force me to point
out you guys did put out a pretty heinous video of snipers, of the
insurgents killing U.S. troops on CNN, so you guys to some extent
helped them with their own propaganda."

I shared some valentines day books with you yesterday, so I thought I'd repost a few of our valentine crafts from last year to get the ball rolling with the red, pink, and white goodness of February.
I always love using what you already have sitting around the house for craft time. Here are two to start with: Have any cupcake liners laying around the kitchen? Use them to make flowers like these or flatten them out like these to make lovely awards.
I used wipe tops to craft these knock knock valentines for Juliet last year. She loved opening the door to find the surprise inside.
Never mind that he is missing a few arms...(sorry, little guy!)
What are your favorite valentine card supplies?

Super Sandwiches
Corbin Reynolds and Neil Stalboerger, the co-owners of Stalzy's Deli, knew they had to do their research when they sat down to create the cornerstones of their delicious deli-sandwich menu—and the process really opened their eyes.
Fantastic Fish Fry
Calling all comfort food fanatics: you cannot call your visit complete without the experience of a Madison fish fry. And there are so many places to try!
Meet Neil Stalboerger from Stalzy's Deli
In May 2010, Stalzy's Deli opened in the Atwood neighborhood. By October of that year, Madison Magazine named Neil and Corbin, the co-owners, as two of Madison's best new chefs. Neil is the executive chef at Stalzy's Deli. He and I share a passion for whole foods, historical research, and our inability to correctly pronounce the name of our favorite magazine.

'Stalzy's Deli, an Old School Delight'
"No matter how you slice it, a delicatessen is all about meat and lots of it:
piled-high corned beef, pastrami, roast beef and turkey sandwiches.
Stalzy's doesn't disappoint."
'Madison's Pro Foodies Pick Their Favorite Spots from 2011'
"Stalzy's just has a really nice space and impressive, handmade sandwiches.
There's a lot of artistry that goes into what they do." – Sam Haesemeyer, Head Chef, Brocach
'Stalzy's Deli brings a little of New York to Atwood'
"Corned beef and pastrami are really part of my DNA. My mom cooked
a corned beef she learned to cook from her mom, in Brooklyn
(when Brooklyn was more of a slum than hipster central).
And my dad knew his brisket too, though that's a more complicated story".
–The Isthmus
What can you get for $10 at Stalzy's Delicatessen?
The New York deli is possible to export, as Canter's Deli in Los Angeles proved long ago.
Madison isn't overrun by NYC deli incursions, but the city is not innocent of them either;
both Gotham Bagels and Ella's Deli nod, in their own ways, to the New York deli. Stalzy's Deli opened on Mother's Day with a bid to buff out Madison's deli deficiencies, not exactly recreating a mythical Tom's Delicatessen —much of its food is not kosher, for example— but rather drawing on that form as inspiration while pulling from other traditions like Polish cuisine and the American '50s diner aesthetic.

German charter operator Jet Connection stopped flying early last month and appears to have ceased trading. The company's management did not respond to AIN's multiple requests for comment. However, a senior manager with a leading executive charter broker, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Jet Connection has stopped operations and said that he did not expect them to resume. The company, which flew for the Skyjet International block charter program, had a fleet of Challenger 604s and Learjet 60s. On Dec. 26, 2007, one of the operator's 604s crashed on takeoff from Almaty Airport in Kazakhstan, killing a passenger and injuring three crewmembers.

The Summer That Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill Took Over Mainstream Comedy
How this fan became an instant follower of the Apatow-Rogen-Hill religion.
In history books, the summer of 2007 will go down as the official start of one of the worst financial crises in American history. It started in July, when Bear Stearns announced that two of its hedge funds had lost all their value — and from there, as we know, panic, chaos and lots of mortgage defaults ensued.
But to my 15-year-old self — and to thousands of other teenage boys of my generation — the summer of 2007 will be remembered for an entirely different reason: It was a season when a few funny, schlubby Jews took over the world of mainstream comedy.
Three Camp Ramah Alums Now Have Leading Roles on Broadway. What's in the Bug Juice?
By Gabriela Geselowitz for Tablet Magazine
Turns out that singing in Hebrew in front of your peers may be the ticket to superstardom
What is it about Camp Ramah?
Specifically, what is it about Camp Ramah's theater program? A bunch of Jewish teens performing simplified Hebrew translations of classic musicals can apparently lead to the Great White Way. And this isn't about a lone example— there is soon to be three different Camp Ramah alumni on Broadway at the same time— all of them in leading roles.
For one, Caissie Levy (Ramah Canada) is set to belt "Let It Go" as Elsa in Frozen starting in the spring. Ethan Slater (Ramah New England) is getting his big break as the titular character in the stage adaptation of Spongebob Squarepants this November (yes, it's actually supposed to be good). And if Tony winner Ben Platt (Ramah California) is still starring in Dear Evan Hansen several months from now, that will be three Ramahniks at once. So what gives? What's in the water, or bug juice, or whatever the heck it is they drink at Camp Ramah?
Shalom, Bollywood: Resurrecting the Jewish heritage of Hindi cinema
Roshni Nair for the HindustanTimes
An Australian professor, Danny Ben-Moshe, is working on a documentary on the forgotten Indian Jews who left their mark on the world's largest film industry
In February 2006, Florence Ezekiel Nadira died in a Mumbai hospital. That same week, thousands of miles away in Melbourne, Danny Ben-Moshe chanced upon her obituary. The interest it sparked would drive an 11-year search and culminate in a documentary on Hindi cinema's once-lauded — and since forgotten — Jewish celebrities.
Ben-Moshe, an adjunct professor at Melbourne's Deakin University, is also a documentary filmmaker and recipient of the Walkley Award, Australia's top prize for documentaries. For his current baby, Shalom Bollywood: The Untold Story of Indian Cinema, he's seeking $20,000 through a crowdfunding campaign on indiegogo.com.
Mazal Tov to the First Female Dr. Who! Your Next Mission: Save British Jews
By Liel Leibovitz for Tablet Magazine
The iconic TV show was created by a Jew in part as a meditation on the sort of anti-Semitism that now sweeps Britain
Like nerds the world over, I was delighted to learn this weekend that the role of Doctor Who will soon be played, for the first time in the show's history, by a woman. In case you've somehow missed the iconic show's 36 seasons, you should know that this is a very big deal: the Doctor is a Time Lord, a merciful being who hops across space and time and keeps the universe safe from no-goodniks, occasionally slipping into a new body and a new personality whenever a new actor is ready for the challenge. Twelve have assumed the role so far; all have been men. And now comes, Jodie Whittaker, a fine British actress.
"I'm beyond excited to begin this epic journey," Whittaker said in a statement. "It's more than an honor to play the Doctor. It means remembering everyone I used to be, while stepping forward to embrace everything the Doctor stands for: hope. I can't wait."
Was Leonard Cohen A Zionist?
Matthew Gindin for The Forward
The short answer is no. He was a mensch, not to say the two things are mutually exclusive.
The long answer follows.
On May 21st, a celebratory concert in Israel for Yom Yerushalayim featured an English-Hebrew rendition of "Hallelujah," by far Leonard Cohen's most misused song (if you don't count the millions of questionable hook-ups spurred by some dude with a guitar singing "Suzanne").
Some were not happy with this. Mondoweiss said the song was being used as "an anthem of Jewish exclusivists." The article claimed (probably wrongly) that Cohen would have approved, mostly on the basis of Cohen's 1973 visit to Israel during the Yom Kippur war, where he toured Israel with the troops cheering them with his presence and his music.

Ford City councilman: Litter-strewn hill an 'attractive nuisance'
FORD CITY – Several weeks ago, broken bottles and rusty tin cans led to a mishap for Ernest Rosenberger, 10. Rosenberger told borough council that he was playing at Boulder Park when he ventured onto an adjacent wooded hillside with some friends to "build a fort."
It was there that the youth accidentally cut a finger on one of the hundreds of broken bottles littering the hillside. A few days later, he asked council what, if anything, could be done about the dangerous litter.
Council member Jerry Miklos said that although the playground at the park is clean and well maintained, the hillside, which rises steeply to Route 66, is an attractive nuisance for some children.
Miklos said he believes the majority of the broken bottles, mostly beer bottles, land on the hillside after being thrown out of vehicles on Route 66. He said there is a path that meanders from the park through the hillside and ends on Ridge Avenue. Despite the steepness of the trail, a number of people climb or descend the hill nearly every day.
"I would say there are hundreds of bottles, mostly broken, and dozens of cans that litter the wooded hillside and the trail," Miklos said. "In the past, volunteers have launched cleanup efforts, but more cans and bottles appear almost every week. We have a resident who routinely collects several large bags of trash weekly, but there's always more."
Throughout the summer, between 10 and 20 children, most in the lower elementary school grades, attend organized play sessions in the park. Playground supervisor Taylor Fujini said she keeps close tabs on the children to ensure they stay on the neatly manicured lawn and away from the woods. Fujini said keeping the children away from the woods requires constant vigilance.
Miklos said that council missed an opportunity to ask PennDOT to erect a fence along the hillside portion of Route 66 several years ago when major road work was done on the highway. He said he will urge council to do so now.
Miklos said that volunteer groups or people doing community service could be used in a cleanup campaign but first there has to be a way to stop the flow of trash.
"Although the cans, bottles and other debris are a big problem," Miklos said, "a bigger problem is the trail itself. It is very steep and parts of it are washed out. People sometimes use it when they want to walk to the Sheetz store or to Ford Cliff. The trail parallels the road way and once on top people walk along the highway which is very dangerous. There is no walkway. Something has to be done, and soon."

A 14-year-old boy was stabbed in the chest Friday evening while he was walking through an apartment complex parking lot, authorities said.
San Diego police said the boy was approached by 10 to 12 men ranging in age on 35th Street near Polk Avenue in the City Heights West neighborhood about 5:45 p.m. The men threw gang signs at the boy, then stabbed him and fled.
The boy was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive.
Police officer David Stafford said no description of the men was provided and they are at large.

The four billionaire investors in
The Australian Financial Review has revealed that American media investor Providence Equity Partners has begun running the numbers on a potential bid for Ten's equity and debt, just months after British media group ITV kicked Ten's tyres.
Any deal is likely to be some way off, but every day that goes by leaves Ten more vulnerable. The company's share price fell 18 per cent last week after another earnings downgrade, putting a bit more blood in the water for bargain hunters.
For Murdoch, recently crowned as the boss of
For all the long-standing talk about a tie-up between and Ten and News, Murdoch might be just as happy to be done with a poor investment, given his big new role.
Similarly, Packer may have had enough, too. Having bought in at the same time as Murdoch, at about $1.50 a share, Packer has taken a bath as the stock has dropped to 24.5¢. A sale would end the pain and confirm how right he was to all but exit the media and focus on casinos.
For Rinehart, also a major investor in Fairfax, publisher of the The Australian Financial Review, her first tastes of media haven't exactly been sweet. A sale would at least stop the losses.
The investor with the most mixed feelings about a sale might well be Gordon, the single biggest shareholder in Ten with a 15 per cent stake.
The billionaire knows the television game inside and out and has owned the WIN regional TV network for decades. He would know, for example, just how tough it will be for Ten to turn its financial performance around and rebuild its shattered share price. But equally he would understand the cyclical nature of TV – as unlikely as it seems, Ten may be just a few good programs away from a turnaround.
Symbol of status and power
Does Gordon cut his losses and sell? Or does he hold out hope for a turnaround, safe in the knowledge that a television station will continue to have intrinsic value, not just as a business but as a symbol of status and power?
Gordon declared in 2012 that he wasn't "going anywhere", saying: "There are only three main channels, plus ABC and SBS. There is plenty of room for everybody to make a success of television presentation in Australia, and there is the advertising market to support it."
But since then, Ten's ratings have continued to slide and its financial position has worsened and the support required from its major investors has increased. Last year Gordon, Packer and Murdoch guaranteed a $200 million loan from
Of course, Gordon, who divides his time between Wollongong and Bermuda, has long been seen as a potential buyer of Ten. Could he want a bigger role in any privatisation?
Ten might still be searching for a big on-screen hit, but its off-screen dramas will continue to be required viewing.

CompetitivEdge is a new interview series that aims to introduce world-changing technologies, products, and ideas. In this first interview, we talked with Mr. Kimura, the president of Super Faiths Inc., a Japanese company that recycles used diapers into energy.
It's interesting to note that you have had experience with a variety of different businesses including working with a planning and construction studio and managing a racing team. Can you share your vision that guided you through those different businesses and how that vision relates to your current company's unique name Super Faiths?
Mr. Kimura, Super Faiths:
Through all my business ventures, I have always envisioned the future and a new lifestyle. Hence in 2004, I tackled a new challenge and entered the business of turning used disposable diapers, which at the time was mainly incinerated as garbage, into fuel.
When I first learned of this technology, I didn't imagine becoming a manufacturer myself. But since nobody was interested in commercializing this idea, I made the decision to develop the equipment (SFD system) and devote myself to creating a new market.
There were many naysayers who thought my idea of recycling diapers was impossible because of technical difficulties, current regulations, and incumbent interests by key players in the waste industry. Still, I felt strongly that it was our mission to break through those conventional ideas and introduce this important social business to the world.
I thought that if we had a clear mission, vision, and passion, we could definitely find a way to fulfill our goal. I named my company Super Faiths (`Faith` with `S`) to express our faith that we are an organization capable of cultivating this possibility and with utmost effort we can achieve our goal.
What inspired you to develop this SFD system? Did you already have a strong interest in social or environmental issues at that time?
Mr. Kimura, Super Faiths:
Nine years ago, I met my partners who were trying to tackle the problem of disposing used diapers. Honestly speaking, prior to becoming acquainted with them, I had not paid any specific attention to the problem of diaper waste. Most people dispose of used diapers without much thought. The problem is simply out of sight, out of mind. But as I delved deeper into the research I realized that this was indeed a serious issue.
At that time, due to technological advancements, the use of disposable diapers was rapidly, replacing cloth diapers, especially among the elderly who suffer from incontinence. This was particularly true in Japan where their aging society was spurring a sharp increase in the consumption of disposable diapers. The disposal of used diapers has tripled in volume and it is predicted to increase at an unbelievably high rate in the coming years.
In Japan, disposable diaper waste is incinerated as inflammable waste. But, it became obvious that handling (storage, collection, transportation and incineration) large volumes of wet, bad-smelling diaper waste will cause many problems, such as CO2 or methane emissions, hygiene risk and discomfort to the waste handlers, and damage to incinerators.
This practice of incinerating disposable diapers will have irreversible and serious consequences if measures are not taken against it. Several alternative ways of incineration have been tried but no method was practical. Therefore, at Super Faiths we decided to develop an alternative method.
Some technologies in the market dissolve used disposable diapers and turn them into recyclable substances. How is your company's SFD system different from those technologies?
When we embarked on developing our technology, there were already existing industrial plants in operation focused on dissolving diapers to extract the pulp. But those plants were neither practical nor scalable due to factors such as high disposal costs and huge inefficient plant size. After analyzing several existing methods, we decided to take two different approaches. First, we dealt with disposable diapers only, and no other waste. Second, we focused on thermal recycling – harnessing the useful thermal energy from the incineration of waste instead of recycling the waste material itself.
As a result, this simple process of crushing, drying, and sterilizing diapers within a closed tank had high accuracy, safety standards and reproducibility rates. In addition, since this process does not require any water, which also means no water discharge, the risk of dispersing infection is extremely low. The final product material has the ability to produce 5,000 kcal/kg worth of energy and is safe to be reused.
How are you further developing your SFD system?
For the past seven years, since we first installed two sets of our SFD machines at hospitals, we have been continually refining our technology. Although we were quite confident about the ability of our SFD system to treat used diapers, it was difficult to find an efficient use for the fuel outcome. It took time for us to find a good partner with the technology needed to solidify used diapers through a simplified solidification and combustion technology. We believe that this partnership makes implementing the sustainable recycling system within a community more feasible.
In trying to create your new system and new market, you must have encountered challenges. How have you overcome those challenges? Also, what new challenges do you foresee in expanding your SFD system?
There have been several barriers in front of us: weak public understanding regarding waste disposal problems; strong perceptions among government officials that incineration is the best way to dispose of diapers due to past failures of other disposal technologies; and lack of awareness of the effectiveness of thermal recycling.
Due to our continued perseverance, our system is now installed in several autonomous communities and public interest is increasing. Also, as a result of rising energy prices and the recent Fukushima nuclear plant accident, Japanese energy policy is being reviewed, and technology to turn waste into fuel is generally accepted. These circumstances have made our SFD system highly valued.
In order to further increase demand for our technology, we need to step up our efforts to decrease both manufacturing and operating costs, and accelerate miniaturization of the machine size to meet customer needs while not compromising on quality. Since we are pioneers in this new market, we must deliver both products and service responsibly to ensure our customers have faith in us.
Please share your vision for developing your market in the near future.
We are planning to expand within domestic market. At the same time, we are also receiving many business inquiries from overseas markets. In established markets such as Europe, disposable diapers are still disposed in landfills, which is different from Japan. This situation has created anxiety among concerned citizens. Disposable diaper manufacturers are also cautious about extended producer responsibility.
Also in emerging markets such as China, usage of disposable diapers is increasingly widespread, even before the proper infrastructure for waste disposal has been well developed. There is a growing concern that this will severely affect the sustainable ecosystem balance in the future. Given this context, many global manufacturers of disposable diapers strongly believe that they need to sustainably introduce their diapers with the environment in mind.
Though we are still lacking in experience and human resources, we will continue to champion the use of our SFD system to deal with diaper disposal issues in the world. We are looking at exporting our products and patenting our technology. We are constantly looking for partnerships with local players with strengths in manufacturing, sales, collection, and energy recycling.

Dern, ITworld | Feb 15, 2014 Share All Slides SLIDEFEATURED PRODUCTS Handyman's toolkit Microscope Thermal imaging system Geiger counter Tremor recorder Eye tester Self-defense device Stun gun Carbon monoxide detector, weather station, breath analyzer,... If I had a hammer Share this Slideshow Direct link: flickr/David Reber Just like "when all you've got is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" (or "when your problem is a nail, every tool you've got looks like a hammer"), when you have a smartphone there's a good chance there's a smartphone app, case, or accessory for whatever you want to do.And not just the easy or obvious things, like turning your smartphone into a GPS, mirror, or mini-periscope or providing damage protection. I'm talking about a wide, even seriously wacky range of tasks. Here are 9 ways to turn your smartphone into the hammer for your nail. iHandy Carpenter Handyman's toolkit Thanks to its built-in sensors -- typically including GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, and microphone -- your smartphone can easily serve as a variety of tools for carpenters and other handypersons. Some examples include a level (bubble level bar, surface level, or plumb-bob) and compass. And a smartphone doesn't even need sensors to be a display-based tool like a ruler or a protractor. iHandy Carpenter ($1.99) is available for iOS and Android. 3B Scientific/Amazon.com Microscope Some tasks call for a microscope, like looking for clues or checking watermarks on paper money.Sure, you could pack a USB microscope that uses your tablet or notebook as a display. But for seriously mobile microscope users, there are magnifying attachments for your iPhone, Android phone, or other mobile devices. (Most of these comprise the actual microscope plus a device-specific case.)Prices range from roughly $20 to $60. Differences include magnification range (e.g. 60x-100x, 60x-200x) and other features, such as an LED light or a stand. FLIR Thermal imaging system Thermal imaging -- looking for "hot spots" or other temperature differences -- has many uses. Home energy auditors do this to see where you need more insulation, better windows, etc. Industrial sites use them to spot anomalies before problems develop. They're popular for security monitoring, gas leak detection, and with firefighters. But traditional thermal imaging systems haven't been cheap.FLIR One's case will let a smartphone act as a thermal imaging system, showing infrared and even merging it with regular camera views and other data.FLIR One for iPhone 5/5s is currently expected to be available spring 2014 for under $350, and a model for selected Android smartphones will be available later in 2014. radiation-watch.org Geiger counter Standalone Geiger counters can be had for $100-$300 -- or you can Geiger-accessorize your smartphone.Radiation Watch's Pocket Geiger peripheral offers a sub-$100 solution for iOS and Android users. (Note: This detects only X-Rays and Gamma rays -- not Alpha or Beta radiation.)You'll also need their smartphone app: the iOS free Pocket Geiger Counter Lite or $6.99 Pro, or the free Android Pocket Geiger app.For an even cheaper, although not quite as accurate, radiation-sensing iPhone 4 solution, consider the WikiSensor Dosimeter App (iOS, $0.99). (You'll also need something that can cover the camera to block out visible light, such as an inch of black electrical tape or your thumb.) Liftpulse Tremor recorder Medical professionals are finding a growing number of ways to turn smartphones into inexpensive, portable alternatives to traditionally costlier, bulkier tools.Lift Lab's LiftPulse (Free, iOS) app gives doctors an easy, affordable way to measure and quantify "tremor," a common symptom of medical issues like Parkinson's Disease, using the accelerometers in an iPhone. YouTube.com Eye tester Watch this video on YouTube Developed in the MIT Media Lab's Camera Culture research group, the NETRA (Near-Eye Tool for Refractive Assessment) is an inexpensive clip-on that turns a smartphone into a portable eye tester with average accuracy as good as and sometimes better than much larger, more expensive diagnostic tools. NETRA will let medical staff -- or even the patient -- diagnose common "refractive eye disorders" like near- and far-sightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia, which affect nearly two billion people globally. Spraytect Self-defense device Unless you're one of Edgar Rice Burroughs' four-armed Green Martians or an octopus, juggling a phone and protective pepper spray when walking through unsafe areas can be difficult. Problem solved: Spraytect's Self-Defense iPhone Case (for iPhone 4/4s, $39.95) includes a detachable pepper-spray cartridge holding a proprietary blend of habanero and other peppers. According to Spraytect, the range of a spray is 3 to 7 feet. (Note: The cartridges meet TSA checkable-luggage guidelines.) Yellow Jacket Stun gun To protect yourself at closer-than-pepper-spraying distance, consider a Yellow Jacket stun gun case. According to Yellow Jacket's website, the shock delivered is more of a "sting" than a "stun." And the case also provides up to a full battery recharge for your smartphone.(iPhone 4/4s $99.00; iPhone 5/5s with detachable Stun Gun pack, $149.00, available March 2014) YouTube.com Carbon monoxide detector, weather station, breath analyzer, and more Watch this video on YouTube Sensorcon's SensorDrone hardware ($199) lets you use your smartphone (or other device, like an Arduino) along with built-in or add-on sensors and Android and iOS apps for a growing variety of tasks.For example, SensorDrone can be used to measure/sense temperature; light (like color intensity); carbon monoxide; CO2-reducing gases like propane, methane, or butane; oxidizing gases like nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, or ozone; air quality; water quality; humidity; color; and infrared. Uses can include monitoring air quality, checking for gas leaks, and monitoring temperatures -- even simply keeping track of the humidity in your refrigerator's vegetable/fruit crisper bin. YouTube.com If I had a hammer Watch this video on YouTube While I haven't yet found a an actual hammer case for a smartphone, here is a video of a Nokia Lumia 900 being used -- successfully, and without damaging the phone -- as a hammer.

Hundreds of thousands of dead anchovies have washed up on the Kujukuri-hama coast of Chiba Prefecture, densely covering about 600 meters of a sandy beach, a local government official said Friday.
Locals notified the Oamishirasato town office of the dead fish Wednesday afternoon, the official said by phone.
Each anchovy measures around 10 cm to 15 cm. It was not immediately known what caused the fish to die, said Michio Ishida at Sanbu Regional Development Center of the Chiba Prefectural Government.
"We hear that schools (of anchovies) sometimes wash onto shore after being chased by a large fish. But we don't know the cause this time," Ishida said.
"It seems lots of (anchovies) are swimming offshore now because we saw many birds flying over the sea," he added.
Because of the stench, the center had already buried most of the fish in the sand by Friday afternoon.

Apple's iCal site has a missing download button.
but if you click the link where the missing picture is it still works.... must be a server hiccup or something
OR an update to 1.2.... or was it 1.5?
It went right here...
I've got a theory...
It ran off with iCal's missing support for SSL connections...
whooooooooooooooooooo cares? =)
Could mean an update. http://forums.macrumors.com/images/smilies/smile.gif Or just an over site by the sitemaster who is redoing all of apple's site to the new standard. I hope for the update.
It's back, but it now says Feb 1 on the calendar icon. Why did they change this? I have no clue.
It's not back, it's probably still in your cache.
And don't get too excited. It's been missing for over 24 hours.
Feb 1, perhaps its the release date of the PB G5
Hopefully they took down the download button because iCal 1.5 is about to be released.
Actually I think it's your cache. It most definitely is back.
i stoled it
Sorry, but you're most definitely wrong. Try loading the page in other browsers or other computers. The graphic does not load.
Just a broken image link if you ask me. You can still download it just fine. I would get excited if the link and image were gone.
I dunno. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm in Japan, but the image loads fine in two other browsers on my Mac and also on a Winblows machine.
It's weird though... if it were on the Akamai network it could possibly make sense that it doesn't load for you but it loads for me. But, it's on the Apple network... here is the link to the image.
You're right, that is weird. Your link to the image does work, but on Apple's page it's not there.
Well, hopefully 1.5 will be released soon and it just won't matter any more!
I'm seeing this image link instead, which doesn't exist:
Pretty sure that's the source of the controversy.
21download shows 2/1 so 230download would indictate 2/30, a non-existent date, hence no image.
The iCal page is neat - it usually shows the current date. The script that updates the page with the current URL reference must be broken.
This is a website admin problem, not a product announcement. Send a note to email@example.com, not MacRumors.
When I view the source of http://www.apple.com/ical, it shows:
15download.gif ???
I dunno why that shows up in the source but if you open in a new window it shows a different filename?
Yeah, looks like the script has gone bizzerk and it's loading different pages for different people.
Re: Well...
15download actually refers to Jan 5 (2003), when iCal 1.0.2 was released. You can actually see the image on the server here.
This must be what they call: The missing link!
This should be a page 3 rumor. ****ing pointless.
i just took that a minute ago. i have disk cache disabled, but i haven't visited the ical site in months anyway.
It looks like they finally fixed it. And still no 1.5.
