In 1957, Herbert A. Simon, a pioneer in artificial intelligence and later a Nobel Laureate in economics, predicted that in 10 years a computer would surpass humans in what was then regarded as the premier battleground of wits: the game of chess. Though the project took four times as long as he expected, in 1997 my colleagues and I at IBM fielded a computer called Deep Blue that defeated Garry Kasparov, the highest-rated chess player ever.
You might have thought that we had finally put the question to rest--but no. Many people argued that we had tailored our methods to solve just this one, narrowly defined problem, and that it could never handle the manifold tasks that serve as better touchstones for human intelligence. These critics pointed to weiqi , an ancient Chinese board game, better known in the West by the Japanese name of Go, whose combinatorial complexity was many orders of magnitude greater than that of chess. Noting that the best Go programs could not even handle the typical novice, they predicted that none would ever trouble the very best players.
Ten years later, the best Go programs still can't beat good human players. Nevertheless, I believe that a world-champion-level Go machine can be built within 10 years, based on the same method of intensive analysis--brute force, basically--that Deep Blue employed for chess. I've got more than a small personal stake in this quest. At my lab at Microsoft Research Asia, in Beijing, I am organizing a graduate student project to design the hardware and software elements that will test the ideas outlined here. If they prove out, then the way will be clear for a full-scale project to dethrone the best human players.
Such a result would further vindicate brute force as a general approach to computing problems, if further vindication were needed. Even now, the method is being applied to such forbidding challenges as protein folding, scheduling, and the many-body problem.
Many of the early computer-chess researchers hailed from the fields of psychology or artificial intelligence and believed that chess programs should mimic human thinking. Specifically, they wanted computers to examine only playing sequences that were meaningful according to some human reasoning process. In computer chess this policy, known as selective search, never really made progress. The reason is that humans are extremely good at recognizing patterns; it is one of the things that we do best.
It was only in the late 1970s, with the success of Northwestern University's Chess 4.x program, written by David Slate and Larry Atkins, that the engineering school of thought became dominant. The idea was to let computers do what they do best, namely, calculate. A simple legal-move generator finds all the permissible moves in a position, considers all the possible responses, and then repeats the cycle. Each cycle is called a ply, each generation of new possibilities is called a node--that is, a branching point in a rapidly widening tree of analysis. The branches terminate in "leaf," or end positions.
Carried to its logical extreme, the tree would grow until it exhausted every legal continuation, leaving the program nothing to do but examine the end positions to see which of them were wins--that is, checkmates--and which were draws, then work backward along the branching structure to choose the line that led to the best outcome, assuming that both sides play perfectly. Such exhaustive analysis is impractical, though, because it would produce a tree containing about 1060 positions. That's about a thousand times the number of hydrogen atoms in the sun.

Reportedly up to 100 times faster than traditional methods, GPU computing with Cuda takes advantage of hundreds of on-chip processor cores that work in tandem, communicate, and share data. Cuda technology accelerates hardware performance via Parallel Data Cache, whereby 128 processor cores in the latest generation of Nvidia GPUs cooperate to perform complex computations. A Cuda-enabled GPU can work as a thread processor in this way, or as a streaming processor in applications, such as imaging, where threads do not communicate. Cuda-enabled applications will relegate data-intensive tasks to the GPU for processing, freeing the CPU to perform control and data management functions.
Complementing the new architecture is Nvidia C-compiler for the GPU.
Developers access these new features through a separate computing driver that communicates with DirectX and OpenGL, and the new Nvidia C-compiler for the GPU, which obsoletes streaming languages for GPU computing.
The 690 model features a dual CPU socket and dual front-side buses to provide up to eight processor cores with Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, in addition to support for up to 64gb of memory and enhanced graphics via an optional dual-graphics riser card via Nvidia SLI technology. The Precision 490 also offers dual CPU socket and dual front-side buses for up to eight processor cores, as well as support for up to 32gb of memory.
The Dell Precision 690, 490, and 390 with Intel quad-core chips are certified on a variety of DCC, CAD, and CAE software programs. Pricing for the Dell Precision 390 with Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processors starts at $2213, while the Precision 690 and 490 featuring Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors sport a price tag starting at $2399 and $2149, respectively. The workstations are available now.
Quad-core processor-based HP workstations are designed to provide a stable, multi-threaded, and multi-tasking environment for shorter project cycle times and greater parallelism for those working on projects within the digital content creation, oil and gas, computer-aided design, and computer-aided engineering markets. Quad-core technology will give customers the tools they need for visualization, analysis, and product creation in extremely demanding environments.
According to industry analysts, a workstation running quad-core processors in a two-socket configuration is faster and more efficient than dual-core processors in a four-socket array. That's because it can better manage extremely complex parallel jobs.
Intel-based HP xw8400 workstations are enabling the Gates Planetarium at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science to reach new heights in visualization. HP systems with quad-core processors are powering 11 digital projectors at the planetarium to produce vibrant, realistic images of the entire universe.
The 3DBoxx RTX workstation enables digital artists to take advantage of multi-core processing and multi-threaded software solutions. The system boasts Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 series processors in a unique chassis capable of accommodating up to 15 data drives for up to 1gb/sec storage bandwidth.
The 3DBoxx RTX features PCI Express x16, PCI-X 64/133mhz, PCI Express x8 using x4, 1394a FireWire, RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 2.0/1.1 slots. The workstation also sports two internal 3.5-inch hard drive bays and 10 swappable SATA/SAS 3.5-inch hard-drive bays.
Softimage XSI 6 supports the .NET framework and the Python scripting language. It also includes the integrated C# object-oriented programming language used by next-generation 3D game developers.

Survey Says Blueberries Add a Boost to the Day

The U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council (USHBC) launched Little Blue Dynamos, a lifestyle-oriented campaign for blueberries, more than a year ago. To learn what consumers know about blueberries and their response to the Little Blue Dynamos positioning, the USHBC worked with Harris Interactive to conduct an online survey earlier this year.
"We were especially interested in what women ages 25-45 would have to say," says Mark Villata, USHBC Executive Director. "Because women make most of the food purchase decisions for themselves and their families, their opinions about how blueberries fit into their lives help guide our consumer marketing program."
With the development of the lifestyle-oriented image for blueberries, the industry's primary marketing target moved away from women in the 45-60 age range, who are the traditional blueberry purchaser. Previous USHBC research points to women and moms between the ages of 25-45 as the customer group with the greatest "next tier" potential to increase blueberry sales, so the Little Blue Dynamos marketing campaign is designed to speak to this target audience.
In 2012, Little Blue Dynamos messages and imagery have been promoted through full-page ads in Food Network Magazine and Cooking Light. Banner ads ran through the summer on RachaelRay.com, Daily Candy Kids, and FoodNetwork.com. In addition, the positioning is highlighted in USHBC-supported television appearances, Facebook, and Twitter activities, and outreach to media, bloggers, and health professionals.
The Harris Interactive survey was conducted from August 22-24, 2012, specifically to gauge U.S. adults' knowledge and attitudes about blueberries and their connection to the healthy, dynamic lifestyle represented in the Little Blue Dynamos campaign.
Key findings from 25-45 year-old women polled in the Harris Interactive online survey include:
• 94% agree blueberries pack a powerful punch of healthy rewards
• 78% of those who eat blueberries agree blueberries add a little boost to their day
• 76% agree blueberries fuel fun activities
• 73% of mothers ages 25-45 who have children age 18 and under agree their kids think it's fun when they serve them blueberries

W/ Dan Carcillo set to miss a month now (knee, no surgery apparently needed), the early indication headed into Sunday's game against Phoenix is that Brandon Saad will line up alongside Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa.
The San Jose Sharks are still in an 'evaluation period' with UFA Scott Gomez. He's still with the team as of this writing.
Were he to sign w/ the franchise, this would likely be a similar situation to Wade Redden where Gomez wouldn't likely be in a position to help the average fantasy owner initially. And just like Redden, Gomez really would just have a focus on being able to contribute positively in a depth role to begin anyway. It's about getting the NHL career back on track.
Zac Rinaldo left Sunday's game against the Sabres with a lower-body injury.
With Ville Leino sidelined, the Sabres rolled out Pominville-Hodgson-Vanek; Foligno-Ennis-Stafford and Hecht in Leino's wing slot w/ Grigorenko-Ott.
Flyers w/ same lines as Saturday against the Pens. Hartnell-Giroux-Schenn; Talbot-Couturier-Voracek; Read-Laughton-Simmonds.
Again, get line combos from every game all season w/ the NHL Line Combo Central page at SN. Updated in a timely manner each evening and also includes PP times.
Our cameras at AAC are sharp! They just caught Manti Te'o's girlfriend in section 125 on the jumbotron!— Dallas Stars (@DallasStars) January 20, 2013
Really looking forward to seeing the Oilers' first game tonight. Expected lines: Hall-RNH-Eberle; Yakupov-Gagner-Hemsky; Smyth-Horcoff-Hartikainen. Debuts for Nail Yakupov and Justin Schultz, who'll be paired with Nick Schultz in an effort to give play-by-play guys a headache.
The Leafs inked Joffrey Lupul to a five-year contract extension Sunday. He's making $4.25 million per season now, and when the new deal kicks in that'll jump to an average of $5.25 million. Mikhail Grabovski's cap hit is at $5.5 million per, while Phil Kessel's is $5.4 million. Dion Phaneuf is up at $6.5 million.
This is another good excuse for the Leafs to say, "Yeah, we were really happy to get Lupul AND Jake Gardiner for Francois Beauchemin a couple of years ago and..."
Lupul was held pointless in his season debut Saturday, but linemates Tyler Bozak and Kessel combined for 1-2-3.
Lupul had 25-42-67 in 66 starts last season.
Thrilled to be a Maple Leaf for 5 more years. Look forward to doing everything I can to help bring a Stanley Cup to Toronto.— Joffrey Lupul (@JLupul) January 20, 2013
NHL GameCenter delivered a #fail of epic proportions on opening day. Don't even get me started. Normally an excellent service. Today? Awful. Atrocious. Threw a gorilla-sized monkey wrench into the night's workload.
Other than that though, so great to have a heavy Saturday evening docket of hockey to dig into again.
Marian Hossa and the Chicago Blackhawks crashed the Stanley Cup festivities of the Los Angeles Kings as the NHL started up the shortened season. Hossa had 77 points in 81 games last year and began with a bang here, notching 2-1-3 w/ 4 SOG. Fellow stars Jonathan Toews (1-1-2, plus-3, 16-9 FO) and Patrick Kane (1-1-2) came through with multi-pointers as well.
Good start from Dan Carcillo with an 0-1-1, plus-3 on the top line, but he left the game with a lower-body injury. Andrew Shaw had no points in his third line role, but did see a lot of power play time. Fourth-most on the team. Nick Leddy had 37 points last year and secured his first one of this season in the first tilt. Good confidence booster for Corey Crawford, who only faced 21 shots to get the win.
Of note for the Kings was Alec Martinez seeing 3:51 PP compared with Slava Voynov's 2:05.
No points for Sidney Crosby, but he was 13-7 on faceoffs. Paul Martin had a pair of power play assists. James Neal from Evgeni Malkin? Yeah, we'll see that a few more times in the coming months. Eric Tangradi began on that line, but Dan Bylsma has said that'll be a fluid situation all season. Seven hits for Matt Cooke.
Claude Giroux, Scott Hartnell and Brayden Schenn delivered the only pointage for Philly owners. Jakub Voracek is still on PP1, despite not having the L1 RW slot. Scott Laughton impressed with some scrappiness. Kurtis Foster only played 13:50, but did see PP2 time.
Erik Karlsson came through with a three pointer (1-2-3, 6 SOG), picking right up where he left off. Jakob Silfverberg was a screen on Karlsson's goal and played 14:02 in his NHL debut. Kyle Turris (1-0-1, 5 SOG), Milan Michalek (1-0-1) and Sergei Gonchar (0-1-1, 2:10 PP led team) helped out. Craig Anderson turned aside 27/28.
Dustin Byfuglien (1-0-1, 6 SOG) and Tobias Enstrom (0-1-1) did what they do well. Produce. Mark Scheifele opened on the fourth line and saw 11:49.
No multi-pointers for any Bruins, but Milan Lucic (1-0-1, 3 SOG, 12 PIM, 4 hits) gave you a good reminder of why you love him in standard leagues. Dennis Seidenberg actually ended up with the second-most power play time on the team and Tuukka Rask delivered the first of many wins. Dougie Hamilton 13:40 TOI with PP2 minutes as well.
Henrik Lundqvist made one of the more ridiculous saves you'll see this year. Scroll down to have a look. Brad Richards and Rick Nash combined on NYR's only goal.
How great was it to see Nazem Kadri bury so early in this one against the Habs? Phil Kessel with a pair of assists. Not only was Michael Kostka paired with Dion Phaneuf, but he had a helper and finished with the most power play time of any blueliner on the team. Tyler Bozak had a goal and as long as he's skating between Kessel and Joffrey Lupul, he maintains fantasy interest. Also really cool to see Ben Scrivens with the start and the win. He's done so well in the AHL and starting him was the right call, regardless of result.
Alex Galchenyuk began his first game w/ Tomas Plekanec and Brian Gionta. 13:06 TOI with no points. His two linemates collected points on Montreal's only goal, but that was on the PP and Rene Bourque was on the line instead of the youngster.
Ilya Kovalchuk, Travis Zajac, David Clarkson and Patrik Elias each had a point. Kovalchuk and Clarkson with 5 SOG apiece.
Brad Boyes saw a decent amount of power play time. Kyle Okposo and Michael Grabner, who both need good seasons, began with an appearance in the box score thanks to one point each.
Steven Stamkos (0-2-2), Martin St. Louis (2-1-3), Vincent Lecavalier (1-1-2) and Teddy Purcell (0-3-3) all came up big. Cory Conacher, who was w/ Lecavalier-Purcell, translated his AHL excellence to his first NHL start. Sami Salo, incidentally, ate up the most PP time on D but had no points. Anders Lindback wins his first start with the Lightning.
Joel Ward (2-0-2) and Wojtek Wolski (1-1-1) had good evenings. Tom Poti finally able to play again and he chipped in a helper too. No points for Mike Green, but he logged big man advantage minutes like we're used to seeing from him when healthy.
Think Jonathan Huberdeau (1-2-2, 5 SOG, 2 PIM in only 14:25 TOI) is ready for the NHL? Alex Kovalev (1-2-3) and Peter Mueller (0-1-1) are on his line. Brian Campbell (2-0-2) is going to rack up many, many points again. Jose Theodore faced 42 shots, so a nifty .976 SV% there.
Justin Faulk has seen the power play time expected early on. He and Joni Pitkanen had an assist each.
Vladimir Tarasenko (2-0-2). Welcome to the National Hockey League. Chris Stewart (2-0-2) – so you do remember where the net is located. T.J. Oshie (1-2-3), Alex Pietrangelo (0-2-2), Kevin Shattenkirk (0-2-2) and Alex Steen (0-2-2) also gave owners multi-pointers. Jaroslav Halak with a 14-save shutout.
So this is what life will be like without Nicklas Lidstrom. Damien Brunner saw 18:50 TOI and saw a lot of first unit power play time.
Artem Anisimov (1-0-1) came through in regulation and the shootout for the Jackets. Nikita Nikitin (0-1-1) is still producing. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 32/34 and is off to a great start with his new team.
Ryan Ellis (1-0-1) and Martin Erat (1-0-1) potted goals for the Preds and Sergei Kostitsyn (0-2-2) had a multi-assist result.
Monster outing for Jaromir Jagr (2-2-4) owners to begin the new campaign. He and Ray Whitney (1-1-2) had six points as members of their latest NHL franchise. Stephane Robidas (0-2-2) had good power play minutes. Derek Roy (0-1-1) and Loui Eriksson (1-1-2) were beneficiaries of Jagr here.
Radim Vrbata (2-1-3) and Keith Yandle (0-1-1) had the noteworthy Phoenix contributions. Matthew Lombardi, who was L3 C, added an assist too.
So Dany Heatley (2-0-0), Mikko Koivu (0-2-2) and Zach Parise (0-2-2, 8 SOG) did what they're supposed to do and Mikael Granlund (1-0-0) made the home crowd smile in his first NHL start. Pierre-Marc Bouchard (1-0-1) is healthy. Cal Clutterbuck (0-1-1, 4 SOG, 4 hits) still likes to hit people. Jared Spurgeon (0-1-1) is going to be a solid depth asset on D. Ryan Suter was held pointless, but was just under three minutes shy of playing half the game. Nobody on either side had more even strength or power play time.
Steve Downie (0-1-1, 6 PIM, 4 hits) had the best fantasy night for the Avs.
2-2-4, 4 PIM, 5 SOG for Teemu Selanne. I mean... it never ends with this guy. Sheldon Souray (1-1-2) added a pair of points and is already making an impact for those who took a chance on him late in the draft. PP1, as expected. Nick Bonino (0-1-1) only had a point, but it's that L2 assignment that has been the attention getter. Ryan Getzlaf (0-2-2) and Corey Perry (1-0-1) should deliver, but tonight the third line of Daniel Winnik (2-0-2), Saku Koivu (0-2-2) and Andrew Cogliano (0-2-2) had multi-pointers.
Jannik Hansen (0-2-2) was on the first PP unit, as was Jason Garrison (0-0-0). The Sedins and Edler made the scoring summary appearances, but Cory Schneider (9/14) being pulled may make a headline or two. Or 10,000.
Grab the line combos from each game on Saturday's slate, along with PP info, with the NHL Line Combo Central blog at SN. I'll be updating that as quickly as possible each evening once the games begin (lines) and end (PP times).

March cold and dry across Illinois
In drought, water war in California fought underground
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Throughout central California, a water war is quietly being fought underground.
Farmers, residents and urban water districts have seen their wells go dry because the water table has fallen so low. Those who can afford it have been drilling deeper wells that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Experts say groundwater supplies have been strained by growing city populations and hundreds of square miles of new orchards and vineyards.
Exacerbating the problem is a second consecutive dry year, as well as cutbacks of surface water shipped to farms and cities from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Climate change is putting additional pressure on aquifers.
Experts worry groundwater is becoming unaffordable — and that overuse could cause serious land subsidence, damaging infrastructure such as roads.
Summer rains below average in Illinois this year
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Precipitation has been below average this summer in Illinois.
Climatologist Jim Angel of the Illinois State Water Survey in Champaign says statewide average precipitation for June, July and August was just less than 10 inches. He says that's nearly 2 inches below average.
Data show June's rainfall was above average, but rainfall during both July and August were below average. However, Angel says this year is an improvement over last summer. That's when precipitation was just less than 7 inches or nearly 5 inches below average.
The summer's statewide average temperature has been 72.5 degrees. That's about 1 degree below average.
Ground too soggy for farmers to plant crops
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Farmers in the nation's breadbasket who only recently were praying for an end to a withering drought are now pining for enough sunshine and heat to dry their muddy fields in time to plant their corn and other crops.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says only 12 percent of the nation's cornfields have been planted. That's about a quarter of the amount farmers had planted by this point in the season over the last five years.
In Iowa, which is the nation's biggest corn producer, only 8 percent of the corn crop is in the ground. That's down from 62 percent at this point last year.
Farmer John Reifsteck says if he has to wait much longer, he may have to plant less corn on his 1,800-acre central Illinois farm.
Rain eases drought for some, but not all
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Rain that moved across the Midwest in the past week has helped ease drought conditions for some farmers.
The weekly drought monitor report from the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska was released Thursday. It shows the rain that caused flooding in some areas of the Midwest helped decrease the drought area from the upper Midwest into the western corn belt and central portions of the Rockies and Great Plains.
But there's a new problem: The heavy rain has left fields muddy in Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois. And that means corn planting will be behind schedule.
All of the country's drought-parched states aren't out of the woods. The report shows drought is intensifying from western Texas into northern California.
Drought ending in St. Louis area
The agency's latest update shows soil conditions in the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, Jefferson County and eastern St. Charles County have returned to normal after almost 9 months of drought. Western St. Charles, Lincoln and most of Franklin Counties are still listed as "dryer than normal."
The southeastern third of Missouri, as well as southern and central Illinois had been declared drought-free weeks ago.
Snow, rain wipe out low water troubles on Mississippi River - for now
The river reached an historic low at St. Louis on January first - the ninth lowest level ever recorded, and just a foot-and-a-half above the record low. Since then, snowfall and rain across the Midwest have brought the Mississippi back up to normal levels.
Army Corps of Engineers spokesman Mike Petersen told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that they believe the worst is over. But Petersen cautioned that low water levels could return if the drought persists in the Midwest.
Illinois farmers happy winter storm brought precipitation to area
From his acreage near Edwardsville, Campbell welcomed the snow. Like many farms, his soil in southwestern Illinois craves any moisture after a bone-dry growing season last year.
Climatologists say a foot of snow is roughly equal to an inch of water, depending on the snow's density. Campbell's region isn't getting quite that much, but the snow is important to growers of winter wheat. That crop goes dormant over winter before resuming growth in the spring, along the way using snow cover as a protective insulating blanket.
The latest weekly U.S. Drought Monitor update shows more than half of the continental U.S. still in some form of drought.
Dredging on Mississippi River is done for the Winter
The Army Corps of Engineers has been using two dredges, one from Memphis, Tenn., the other from St. Louis, to help keep the river channel clear. The work has been especially important this winter because the river level has been near historic lows, threatening barge traffic.
The corps says the dredges need seasonal maintenance, and crews are due for time off. The dredging season normally ends in November but was extended in the so-far successful fight to keep the river open.
The two dredges removed more than 8 million cubic yards of sediment in the last six months in the area between St. Louis and Cairo, Ill. The corps says that is more than twice the normal amount.

Microsoft has been tight-lipped about Project Natal's release date. But a company rep told Saudi TV that it will be released in October.
A leaked video from Microsoft's developer site confirms what was to be one of Microsoft's key bits of news on Wednesday: that the Xbox add-on will ship this year.
CNET News' Ina Fried got a chance to try out Microsoft's motion-sensing video game technology and talk to some of the folks who are aiming to help Microsoft transform the Xbox 360.
Microsoft has sent invitations to a "world premiere" of its motion-sensitive control system, but Natal was shown at last year's E3. What will we see?
In an interview, the head of Redmond's entertainment talks with CNET's Ina Fried about everything from the Xbox to the future of tablets.
The software maker says Activision, Capcom, Disney, EA, Konami, MTV, Namco Bandai, Sega, Square Enix, THQ, and Ubisoft are all working on games for the Xbox add-on.
Kinect is the new name for Microsoft's motion-sensing Natal, unveiled at E3
The World Cup sets a record in Internet traffic, possible Nintendo 3DS screenshots are leaked, and Microsoft's project Natal gets an official name.
At a special performance headlined by Cirque du Soleil, Microsoft formally unveils Project Natal and its new brand name.
Natal is getting its very own event at E3, so it must be important right? In many ways, Natal is Microsoft's answer to the 10-year console refresh, and getting deeper into your wallet.

Major changes are just around the corner for the SAT exam
- 2005 Major alterations to the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) saw the College Board removed portions of the verbal section that had traditionally proven difficult for some students. The Board also added an 800-point essay segment to the exam, giving it a new total point value of 2400.
- 2016 A new round of changes will see the maximum score on the SAT exam return to 1600, along with a host of other changes that the College Board once again hopes will make college more-accessible to graduating high school students. In addition to dropping the top score, the College Board will also offer free SAT preparation materials and give four college application fee waivers to anyone who takes the test. source

Comments about Solar-powered Owl with Rotating Head:
I bought my Owl to scare away the birds that are enjoying my grass seed. I mounted it to a perch on a fence post. It works as described, almost to good. While the birds don't like it neither do my dogs. They will get over it. It's very life like both in appearance and movement. It even keeps the crows out of my neighbors garbage.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I was lucky enough to receive 2 coffee makers for Christmas and I ended up choosing to keep this one. I was leary of having a caraffe, but after reading through I realized that it will not have that burnt on effect that others may have as it turns off completely when the coffee is done brewing and the insulated thermal caraffe keeps it hot for hours (tested and true). The coffee maker is very appealing to the eye and it also comes with a permanent filter so that you do not need to use/buy the paper ones. It is very easy to program for next day use. I highly recommend it!
the thermal pot is the way to go. we bought this to replace the prior one we had which lasted 10 years. if this dies in a year i'll be sure to post.
I enjoy having a filter built in, the 5 beeps to let me know that the coffee is done and it automatically shuts off. I was amazed at how long the carafe keeps the coffee hot. Best coffemaker I have owned.
We enjoy very much the coffee it makes, especially with the metallic filter. The only snag is the lid. We can't open it easily (especially a lady with "nails"). It is extremely tight. Would have given it a four star review otherwise.
I am a little disappointed with this Cuisinart Thermal Coffeemaker. The design of the carafe makes it hard to pour all the water into the machine. The coffee stays warm but not as hot as it did with the glass carafe on my old model. The knob on the older models had a better design and turned more easily than this model. I would not switch from Cuisinart but this model leaves me disappointed.
perfect coffee every time and perfect size machine .
Love it! Carafe works great! Keeps coffee hot for very long time, hours.
Someone has written that the burner is covered with rust, which must be a different coffee maker, since this one does not have a burner. In response to those who say the coffee is not hot, you might want to read the short manual and use the 1-4 cup setting, which makes the water hotter. The power cord is just the right length for putting this coffee maker on the counter; I don�t like appliances with cords that are way too long and then cord management becomes an issue. When the coffee is ready, 5 little beeps let you know, since you can�t tell by looking to see how full the pot is. Perfect. I�m glad I bought this coffee maker.
This is the second thermal coffee maker we purchased. The first unit worked perfectly for over five years of daily use. Very satisfied as it makes great coffee and keeps it hot for hours. Highly recommended!
Made good coffee but the burner is covered with rust on the bottom side and the top surface has coating falling off as rust bubbles under it. I wish I could attach my photos. Most would not believe how bad it is rusted in less than 2 years. Try a different brand.

Microsoft's mobile OS will surge, after a fashion, amid slower growth for the smartphone industry as a whole, predicts research firm IDC.
Apple is still the No. 1 tablet vendor, but its Android counterparts are really the ones pushing market growth, a new study shows.
But analysts warn that their report shouldn't be construed as a comeback for the global PC industry.
Apple will hold onto to a "value edge" in 2014, but Android's ecosystem is poised to make big gains, according to IDC.
Microsoft doesn't have a workable tablet strategy yet, an IDC analyst tells CNET.
The research firm says tablet shipments should remain weak in the current quarter but pick up in the last three months of the year.
Surface Pro has the Windows heritage behind it. Will future versions of the Pro eventually bury the RT version?
The uptake of Windows 8 is hampered by a completely saturated U.S. PC market and corporate upgrades to Windows 7, says author of IDC study.
The marketing researcher also predicts that this year tablet shipments will jump nearly 60 percent -- and top the number of laptop shipments.
Demand for tablets is accelerating, the research firm says, as the market shifts toward smaller screen sizes and lower prices.

Pope Saint Stephen I
Son of Jovius; little else known of his early life. Archdeacon under Pope Lucius I. Elected 23rd pope in 254. Explicitly proclaimed the primacy of the diocese of Rome in matters of theology, and the current understanding of Christ's statement to Saint Peter: "You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church." He condemned the Carthaginian practice of re-baptizing heretics, and accepted baptisms performed by heretics when the convert had acted in good faith; he corrected Saint Cyprian's thinking on the matter. Ordered that there be special clothing (vestments) for use in liturgy, that priests not conduct Mass in street clothes, and not wear their vestments into the streets. Often listed as a martyr in old records, but modern scholarship has found no evidence of it.

2250 Thousand Oaks Dr, San Antonio, TX | Directions 7823229.587365 -98.452887
I am very well pleased with China Garden we had a great time. We had a private dinning for my sisters birthday we had so much fun and enjoyed their company in the dinner. I would recommend China Garden because they were really nice and attentive all the way!
Love the delivery here! Even if I order soup everything comes hot and fresh. The driver is always so very polite and ordering by phone is so convenient. Thanks for making dinner a little bit easier!
The food is always fresh and the facility is very clean. Great atmosphere.
Taste Great – We tried this place when we were getting tired of the regular fast food selections. We were very pleased with the speed they delivered the food and it all tasted great!
HORRIBLE – They do not honor there advertising, coupons or other printed offers. Manager explains that they need to charge for something that is covered by the offer because you are getting a discount. Therefor you must pay more.
Yum! – A friendly neighborhood place to get an excellent meal. Good for date nights or meals with the kids. Delivery is fast but it's also fun to dine in and enjoy the terrific service. Generous portions and an interesting menu with all the old favorites along with several new and inventive dishes. My husband loves the Orange Beef and I love the spring rolls.

The New Concerns of an Evolving Workforce
Today's corporate catchphrases will become tomorrow's commonplace practices.
This type of work allows the more mature worker to adjust to having more free hours while still earning a paycheck. And it gives greener employees the chance to learn from a wiser but retiring group of professionals.
[See 10 Myths About Workplace Rights.]
Here are just some of the most important benefits for the future workforce:
The convenience of working remotely, away from an office environment, by connecting to an employer's office network.
A telecommuting privilege where workers are permitted to connect to an employer's office network. This term encompasses telecommuting that occurs at home, but is often used to denote working in locales that aren't home or office, such as a cafe, client office, or hotel room.
Working something other than the traditional, corporate daytime, weekday hours of around eight hours a day, 40 hours a week. It could include early start and early finish programs, or compressed workweeks.
An employee completes 80 hours of work for every two weeks, but might schedule more hours in one week than the next. Many companies that utilize this practice institute "core hours" when all employees should be available and working.
Maintaining a traditional eight-hour work day for five days a week, but doing so with flexibility in your arrival and departure times.
Job Sharing
A situation where workers (usually ones working flextime) share the responsibilities normally given to one full-time employee.
Phase-Out or Phase-Back Hours
A temporary alternative work schedule that allows an employee to transition in or out of their usual working schedule. Phase-out privileges are frequently used by soon-to-be new parents preparing for their child, or for soon-to-retire (or quit) workers. Phase-back privileges are often used by parents with young children who are returning to work.

Walks And Walking – Kent Walks Dover To Folkestone Walking Route
I have been working in Sandgate, Folkestone, for the last few months and have been itching to get out for a walk in the area. Every day my train enters the Garden of England and as I look up at the North Downs I can hear them calling me! This weekend I decided to leave work on Friday and get the train to Dover Priory, then walk back to Folkestone along the coastal path. On Saturday I plotted out a 10 mile walk to visit the White Horse Folkestone and Caesar's Camp up on the North Downs, which I'll post as my next walking route.
As I had plenty of time I had a bit of a meandaer at the beginning of this Kent walk trying to find some good views of the Kent coast but you can just get straight in to the coastal path by heading down to the cliffs, turn right and then keep walking until you reach the Martello Towers at Folkestone.
My walk started at Dover Priory Railway Station where I exited to the main road turning right and crossing the road up to turn left in to Clarendon Road where I walked up taking a left up the lane to a pathway that climbed up to North Military Road over to a gate where I continued to climb up through woodlands to the top of the hill. I then walked right along the track to rejoin North Military Road where I walked left up the road to the next set of signposts taking me left in to more woodland and an area known as Western Heights, with a fairly decent view of Dover Castle and docks.
I then turned right down steps following the path as I continued my walk turning right uphill in to the woodland turning right to then rejoin North Military Road again through a small car park. It was here that I just missed my next pathway so after a short walk down the road I turned back up North Miltary Road to the signpost by the Dover Immigration Removal Centre where I joined the North Downs Way signposts.
Keeping to the North Downs Way signposts I then continued my walk until I turned left to briefly join Kings Rope Walk keeping ahead to cross over the A20 using the underpass to the next signpost for the North Downs Way Capel le Ferne.
I then climbed up to Shakespeare Cliff following this pathway across Samphire Hoe through The National Trust Round Down to Abbot's Cliff following the signposts for the North Downs Way until I reached the white house. The lane was leading me down to the road so I thought I'd walk around the house to try and join a path on the cliffs but I couldn't get down there so I walked back down to the B2011 road and turned left. With the caravan park on my right hand side I then walked down a path to a stile and back to the coastal path around another caravan park and views down the cliffs to the sea.
Continuing to follow the North Downs Way I then joined Old Dover Road to the Cliff Top Cafe and after a while walked right and then left along the pathway to the Battle of Britain Memorial where I had a quick look around before continuing my walk along the North Downs Way to Capel le Ferne where I eventually turned right to join Dover Hill by the Valiant Sailor pub. I then left the North Downs Way to walk down the hill turning left at the next track in to woodlands which lead me to Dover Road where I walked left down to Harbour Way and Radnor Bridge Road where I then walked down to the beach turning right along the Marine Parade passing the Cliff Lift to the Lower Leas Coastal Park. I then walked back up the zig-zag path to the road where I then walked right to find my bed for the evening, The Southcliffe Hotel, after an exhausting 10 miles and 3.5 hours.

Wide vistas, great depths and a silence broken only by the sound of the ferocious waves breaking on the rocks. The Cape of Good Hope was also called Storm Cape in 1488 by the explorer Bartolomeu Diaz. It doesn't take much imagination to see why ships got into trouble so often here in the fifteenth century.
The history of Cape Town begins at the Cape of Good Hope. In the seventeenth century, increasing trade with Asia made this a strategic place to found a halfway station for ships to restock fresh supplies. Commissioned by the Dutch East India Company (VOC), the Dutchman Jan van Riebeeck went ashore at Table Bay in 1652 with ninety colonists. In time, a small hospital and repair yard were built at the Cape, with vegetable gardens and livestock farming being established later. Slowly but surely, the VOC expanded the settlement into a real colony. After the construction the Castle of Good Hope in 1679, the number of residents increased steadily, including former VOC employees, settlers, slaves and exiles. And thus were the roots of Cape Town laid down.
The drive from Cape Town to the Cape of Good Hope is stunning. The Cape is part of the Table Mountain National Park, a nature reserve with a great diversity of flora and fauna and a wide choice of wonderful hiking routes. This is a true paradise - especially for twitchers as it is home to more than 250 different species of birds. The entrance of the park is still approximately twelve kilometres from Cape Point, the most famous part of the Cape of Good Hope. This is an impressive cliff with a large platform affording striking vistas over the ocean.
It is also the location of an iconic lighthouse from 1859. The construction of this lighthouse was a bitter necessity: Visibility around the Cape can be pretty bad when foggy. At least 23 vessels have been shipwrecked here, including the legendary ghost ship De Vliegende Hollander ('The Flying Dutchman'), which perished in 1641 and has since been doomed to forever continue sailing around the Cape. This ghostly apparition is said to still be visible during storms on the Cape.
Luckily, there is also a friendlier Flying Dutchman: The cable car which brings visitors from the car park up to the lighthouse, 249 metres above sea level. Between June and November, you'll have a good chance of spotting whales from Cape Point. Also interesting are the shipwrecks which lie here. Various relics can still be seen from Olifantsbos Point and Buffels Bay.

On the lookout for some new casual shoes? Still making waves in the footwear world are men's desert shoes, which look great in navy suedes and luxurious browns. The best in good smart casual style, which means you can wear to work or with a pair of chinos for a night out.
Men's loafers are all about tassels right now – they certainly make for sharp style.
But for summer, make sure you get on those Gandy's flip flops and hit the beach!

SEC Schools Pursuing Vandy Commit Ford
December 11th, 2012 09:08 AM║ Posted By: Josh Ward ║ Permalink
Tags: Alabama, Auburn, James Franklin, New Hope Ala
Johnathan Ford's commitment to Vanderbilt hasn't kept other schools from calling.
The running back from New Hope (Ala.) High School has heard from Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee in recent weeks. All three schools are trying to convince Ford to visit.
"I'm still talking things over with my parents and stuff," Ford told 247Sports. "I'm still seeing where I want to go, I mean it's the next four years of my life. I don't know what I'm going to do."
Ford has been one of Vanderbilt's most vocal commits in the 2013 class, promising to recruit other prospects on behalf of the Commodores.
Ford's relationship with Vanderbilt coach James Franklin is one reason Ford hasn't decided if he will visit other schools.
"It's a great relationship," Ford said. "He still has that same energy since the first day he recruited me. We just have that father figure type of relationship. He's been staying on me with that energy he brings day by day."

Editorial Review – Designs and constructs flower arrangements for weddings, building lobbies and more. Offers tropical flowers, roses and fruit baskets.
Wedding wonderlust – You might not think of this Downtown florist for your wedding. But just ask for Daniel, and your wedding will be in the most capable of hands. He listened to my every wish, patiently made suggestions and (gasp) when I saw the flowers the morning of our wedding, they were more perfect than I could even have dreamed. Daniel's even done very real-looking silk bouquets for clients that want to keep the flowers after the wedding.
Sweet Aroma – It's a hidden treasure, a great selection of flowers and easy to access for a downtown office location.
Inconsistent – I have ordered from them twice. The first time the flowers were beautiful, the second arrangement was not so nice.

RENO — After months of construction, the Lockwood Landfill will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday to launch a renewable energy plant that will use landfill gas to generate up to 3.2 megawatts of electricity. Gas that is naturally produced as waste decomposes in the landfill will be piped to an onsite energy plant, where it will be used to power two generators. The energy produced will be delivered to NV Energy to help power local homes. In total, the project will power more than 1,800 homes every year.
Waste Management owns or operates more than 130 gas-to-energy projects across North America. This is the first and only gas-to-energy facility in Nevada. Altogether, WM produces enough energy using landfill gas to power more than 400,000 homes.
Waste Management and its 300 Nevada employees provide waste and recycling services to nearly 131,000 customers in Washoe County.
