Some women don't get into the car scene until they are adults, while others are born to be automotive aficionados. At Milstead Automotive in Spring, they understand both, with president
Amy Milstead leading her Lipsticks and Dipsticks Car Care program for women.
Having grown up surrounded by cars at the shop (which opened in 1970), Milstead learned the family business early on and now spends part of her time educating women on learning their way around under the hood.
Next Thursday, May 15, 5:30-7 p.m., Milstead is hosting a special version of the regular Lipsticks and Dipsticks Car Care Clinic, the "Milstead-a-Go-Go," paying homage to Ford's 50th anniversary of the Mustang, with a classic 1965 Mustang on display, refreshments, as well as 1960s themed music, games and door prizes.
Milstead is very active in her community and felt a responsibility to help make women feel confident behind the wheel and on the road, so she started the Lipsticks and Dipsticks series.
"We wanted to empower women when it came to maintain(ing) their car and to be able to understand the needs and demands centering around car care," Milstead said.
"Cars are no longer a simple means of transportation. They are an investment, and also a person's identifier. They are an extension of who and what we are. Over the past 50 years, as we celebrate the anniversary of the Ford Mustang, cars have changed dramatically — under the hood and in one's own garage. The Lipstick and Dipsticks Car Care Program has been highly valuable to helping women understand what can go wrong and what ways they can minimize service interruptions."
Last Call program
Milstead also runs a program against texting and driving, and with 60 tow trucks on their team, they are the "largest towing group in the nation," putting them in the perfect position to champion their Last Call program.
Launched in an effort to help put an end to deaths from drinking and driving accidents, the company takes home drivers who have had too much to drink, along with towing their cars home with them.
"Unfortunately, Last Call was born out of necessity after witnessing several terrible accidents here in Montgomery County that occurred back-to-back and resulted in fatalities. We wanted to do our part. We see accidents after they occur, and our county depends on Milstead to clear the accident and to keep traffic moving. But we wanted to do more. We created Last Call so people who have had too much to drink can be towed home no questions asked. For about the price of a cab ride, we can take you and tow your car home," Milstead said.
The response has been very positive and word is spreading.
"We have had many requests for our Last Call program. Most every area restaurant and bar has our Last Call signage in their establishment," she said.
For more information about Last Call, and for details about attending Thursday's "Milstead-A-Go-Go" Lipsticks and Dipsticks Car Care Clinic, visit MilsteadAutomotive.com or call 281-367-3535. Reservations are not required for the free event, but they are recommended, and all reservations will include a chance to win a free oil change.

Reality bites – or does it?
Danielle Staub weighed-in rumors that she'd been pulled from the next season of "Real Housewives of New Jersey," offering up a vaguely worded statement about "incredible options" on her horizon that could be an allusion to a rumored spin-off reality show.
"Actually, I'm not even thinking about season 3 right now as I am considering many incredible options that have been presented to me," the reality star said in a statement to UsMagazine.com about the "Housewives" rumors. "Right now I just want to let fans know that we have a fantastic finale coming up next week and explosive reunion shows on August 30 and September 6."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
On Monday, various entertainment news sites reported Staub had been booted from "Housewives," citing anonymous sources. The singer has been at the center of the drama on Bravo's Garden State version of the franchise.
Bravo declined comment on the reports, telling E! News and other outlets: "We haven't announced anything regarding a 3rd season."
Last week, Staub told NBCNewYork's Niteside blog ahead of her 48th birthday bash at a strip club in Manhattan that she was involved in creating a spin-off featuring her gal pal Lori Michaels.
"It will definitely be a lot more of her (Michaels) and I, and definitely my kids," Staub said.
Following the latest rumors, Staub told Us: "Don't worry, next year, I'll still be the one you either love to hate or hate to love."

I am an atheist because I see no effects of God, god or gods in my interactions with the world.
This of course requires some explanation.
Theist: Have you looked?
S.A: Yes.
Theist: I mean, really looked?
S.A: Yes
Theist: I don't believe you!
S.A: I do experiments for a living.
My job is to work out what is going on in the physics of magnetic recording for hard disk drives. I take experimental magnetic disks and heads, put them together and attempt to understand the sources of observable changes. If God/god/gods wanted to communicate with me through fucking up my experiment in a recognizable way, they have had ample opportunity to do so. However, all fuck-ups in my experiment have had a recognizable source – me.
Conversely, all bright lights of understanding have occurred through discussion and argumentation of observations and hypotheses with colleagues and always have a physical basis. No God/god/gods are tapping me on the shoulder saying "Excuse me, I did that!"
Before doing recording physics, I was an astronomer. Again, I did experiments to try to understand the sources of observable changes and again, all the fuck-ups in my experiments had a single source – me.
Before I routinely did experiments for a living, I was a theist. For the last 17 years God/god/gods have had daily opportunities to point out their existence to me. That there has been no demonstration of that existence, I live and work as though they don't exist. This is why I am an atheist.

Ray Chen, the outstanding young violinist, has signed to Decca Classics in a major new recording deal and multimedia partnership which celebrates his exceptional musicianship and unique style.
The critically-acclaimed performer, who's amassed a huge online following (including more than 2 million fans on SoundCloud) through quirky, self-made videos and engaging social media posts, will be embarking on a new recording series with the legendary classical label, entering the studio later this year.
Ray Chen and Dr. Alexander Buhr (Managing Director of Decca Classics)
Ray says:
"I'm super stoked to be joining forces with the awesome team at Decca Classics. We'll be working together on a variety of projects which include the recordings of classic repertoire that everyone loves but I'm happy that I'll have a partner which will help boost the multimedia side of things too."
Dr. Alexander Buhr, Managing Director of Decca Classics, comments:
"We are very excited to welcome Ray to the Decca family. Not only is he a terrific performer with stunning virtuosity, he is also an extraordinary communicator – on stage, on record and online. With his infectious energy and innovative approach, Ray is forging a new path for classical music in the digital sphere and is at the forefront of a new generation of artists on Decca Classics."
Winner of the Queen Elisabeth and Yehudi Menuhin Competitions, Ray Chen is among the most compelling young violinists today. He has performed with many of the world's leading musicians in concert halls across the globe.
Ray Chen started learning the violin when he was four years old and was accepted into the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music at 15, where he studied with Aaron Rosand and was supported by Young Concert Artists. After winning the Yehudi Menuhin Competition in 2008, Ray came to the attention of renowned violinist Maxim Vengerov, who described him as "a very pure musician with great qualities such as a beautiful youthful tone, vitality and lightness." Last year, Ray returned to the competition as their youngest ever juror.
In 2012, Ray became the youngest soloist ever to perform in the televised Nobel Prize Concert for the Nobel Laureates and the Swedish Royal Family. His Carnegie Hall debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic and Sakari Oramo, as well as his sold-out Musikverein concert with the Gewandhaus Orchestra and Riccardo Chailly were met with standing ovations.
Ray, who has released three albums on Sony, recently completed a five-city tour of China with the Gothenburg Symphony and Kent Nagano as well as a European tour with the LPO and Christoph Eschenbach. Other highlights include his debut with the Rotterdam Philharmonic, a recital at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and a Bastille Day performance with Daniele Gatti and the Orchestre National de France for a televised concert on the Champs-de-Mars in Paris in front of an audience of over 800,000.
Born in Taiwan and raised in Australia, Ray plays the 1715 "Joachim" Stradivarius violin on loan from the Nippon Music Foundation. This instrument is one of the five 1715 violins once owned by the famed Hungarian violinist, Joseph Joachim (1831-1907).

PRNewswire: Sony announces a 2.45MP 1/2.7-inch CMOS sensor for automotive cameras, the IMX390CQV. Sony will begin shipping samples in May 2017.
The new image sensor features an LED flicker mitigation function that reduces flickering when shooting LED signs and traffic signals, as well as an HDR of 120dB (measured according to EMVA1288). The IMX390CQV is said to be the first in the industry that can simultaneously mitigate LED flicker and shoot in HDR, made possible by Sony's new pixel structure and exposure method. It also offers high-sensitivity down to 0.1 lux.
Sony publishes two Youtube videos demoing the LED flicker reduction and HDR features:
The IMX390CQV is planned to meet the requirements of the AEC-Q100 Grade 2 automotive electronic component reliability tests this fiscal year. Moreover, with this new product, Sony also introduced a development process that complies with ISO26262 automobile functional safety standards, aiming to achieve a high level of design quality for an automotive product. The new sensor also meets the functional safety requirement level ASIL C.
Thanks to DS for the pointer!

Sony Unveils Automotive HDR Sensor with LED Flicker Reduction

what's the frame rate for the 0.1 lux image?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 12, 2017 at 10:33 PM
I guess it's a rolling shutter sensor?ReplyDelete

It seems that the left picture dynamic range is dramatically reduced. In watching there is a vehicle even washed out by the sky, but not on the right video. That can't happen in ADAS. What happened to Sony?ReplyDelete
what happened is that the long exposure has to be long enough to ensure LEDs are not flickering. That is why the sky is very bright.ReplyDelete

Ssjanev necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 523 diseños de 149 diseñadores freelance.
All Good (coffee sandwiches panini pizza)
We are a brother duo looking to take on a big project by starting a cafe/ takeaway retail shop which encompasses a all ORGANIC approach. We are very young energetic and are enthusiastic about what we do. I have been in the hospitality game for 8 years. I have owned and operated many shops before so this project has been in limbo for around 3 to 4 years. Trying different foods and seeing what attracts customers, and what works, it is our belief that we finally have to right recipe to cause havoc in the hospitality industry, and show people what we have to bring to the table. The main concept behind the logo is that the food which we provide is all organic and prepared on premises and most of all FRESH!! When we say organic though do not get confused with flowers it is in hospitality!!!!
The demographics have a big play in this role. The shop we have chosen is in a corporate building and is in a food court. At the moment no real healthy and organic option is available to the consumers. The age various in range although if I was to provide a mean age I would estimate that it would it would be between 30-35. Again keep in mind there are younger and older players so we don't want to give the oldies a heart attack and we don't want to bore the young ones!!!!
I follow the philosophy of KISS (keep it simple stupid) LOL!!!!!!
The idea that i have in mind involves two different ideas. The first has the following criteria's:
1) A tick which is soft and inviting but also indicates a heathy feel this is like the face that people will put to the name.
2) All Good the brand name is to be encompassed by using a circle and placing the name through the circle. Why a circle? Circle can represent life or health like an apple. REMEMBER we don't really want a cartoon effect it needs to be plain but catchy at the same time
3) The coffee sandwiches panini pizza needs to be underneath the circle and or in smaller print not so it is not significant BUT All Good should dominate the logo as the print is just to tell people what they can expect at our shop.
4) We believe or seem to like the idea that the tick is encompassed with the circle and All Good sign. (Example you have a circle which has the tick running through the circle and the all Good Sign running vertical through the circle.) Food for thought but I'll leave the imagining up to you professionals.
The second is:
1) To have the All Good sign stand out and have the tick at the end to signify that it is ALL GOOD. This again i will leave up to you guys to design. Sorry again no cartoons
My computer is a mac so as long as i can see the PIC i'm happy!!!

A 10in netbook's handy for mobile workers, but if you spend as much time watching films on your laptop as your do working then Asus' latest 17.3in machine could be right up your alley.
Asus's F70: has movies at its heart
Described as a personal entertainment notebook, the F70's larger-than-average screen sports a 16:9 aspect ratio and 1080p resolution. Add to the mix integrated Altec Lansing surround-sound speakers and you've got a decent audio and visual set-up for watching movies on the move.
But if the F70's screen does prove too small, then the notebook features an HDMI port for connection into a larger HD display.
It's worth noting that the machine has an integrated DVD drive, but there's no option to add in a Blu-ray drive.
The machine is available with either a 2.16GHz T5850 (667MHz frontside bus, 2MB of L2 cache) or 2.26GHz P8400 (1066MHz, 3MB) Intel Core 2 Duo processor and up to 4GB of DDR 2 memory.
It's equipped with an eight-in-one memory card reader, can connect to the web over 802.11n Wi-Fi or a wired Ethernet jack, and features Bluetooth 2.1.
The F70 measures roughly 466 x 309 x 39mm and has a "spill-proof" chiclet-style keyboard.
Asus' F70 is available now, with prices starting at £859 ($1252/€966). ®

In Florida, climate change and sea level rise is here, now, and very real. Sea level rose 8-9 inches in Florida over the last 100 years, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects another 9-24 inches of sea level rise by 2060.
We are already feeling the impacts of sea level rise, including more flooding, salt-water intrusion into drinking water wells, warmer and more acidic oceans, and more frequent and intense storms. Cities and counties are looking at billions of dollars in expenditures to deal with the rising waters.
On Oct. 11, more than 120 Floridians with sea level rise expertise� scientists, engineers, city and county officials, and others � sent a letter to the presidential candidates urging them to discuss how they will address rising sea levels that threaten the state.
With 40 percent of the population and housing units at risk from sea level rise here in Florida, we deserve to know how President Obama and Governor Romney would help local communities deal with sea level rise and other consequences of climate change.
I urge both candidates to address this issue as they campaign in Florida.

Designer and decorator Carolyn Westbrooks love affair with all that is French inspired began long before she ever travelled to France. Growing up in the US, her Southern heritage was infused by French influences from the chic elegance of New Orleans to the romance of southern plantation houses. Here, Carolyn brings you her first-hand knowledge, acquired through years of combing French flea markets for unique treasures, of what makes a beautiful French interior. Immerse yourself in her own beautiful plantation house, a sleek urban apartment or a classically elegant town house. Each home featured has its own distinctive style, but all are essentially French in their inspiration, whether it comes from a distressed gilded mirror, or a faded rug that exudes age in just the right places. Carolyn Westbrook prides herself on these French-inspired interiors that are classic and timeless but never stuffy. The French have mastered the art of this time-worn yet sophisticated style of living, and you too will fall in love with the colours, the textures and the inspiration that is truly French.

Understanding Open Heart Surgery and Advances in Cardiac Procedures
Join Lexington Medical Center heart surgeon Jeffrey Travis, MD in Sumter on Tuesday, August 5 for a presentation called "Understanding Open Heart Surgery and Advances in Cardiac Procedures." The event is part of Lexington Medical Center's quarterly patient education series in Sumter, featuring medical topics that are important to our community."Understanding Open Heart Surgery and Advances in Cardiac Procedures" will take place on Tuesday, August 5, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. inside Sumter Cardiology at 540 Physicians Lane in Sumter. Light refreshments will be served. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.
Dr. Travis is a physician with Lexington Cardiovascular Surgery, a Lexington Medical Center physician practice. During his career, he has performed more than 1,000 open heart surgical procedures. Dr. Travis earned his medical degree at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and completed residencies in general surgery and cardiothoracic surgery at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Before joining Lexington Medical Center in 2012, Dr. Travis was a heart surgeon in Georgia.
A Duke Medicine affiliate, Lexington Medical Center began its complete cardiac care program in 2012. The hospital expected to perform about 100 open heart surgeries each year. But the program has far exceeded expectations. To date, the hospital has performed more than 500 open heart surgeries. The program has earned the highest designation given to hospitals – a three-star rating for heart surgery – from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS). For the year 2013, only 15 percent of heart programs nationwide have achieved this prestigious level, which is a designation that recognizes quality and clinical excellence.
The Society of Thoracic Surgeons has developed a comprehensive rating system for the quality of coronary artery bypass surgery among hospitals across the country. Lexington Medical Center ranked in the highest quality tier for 2013, earning the three-star rating. The STS 2013 analysis included more than 1,000 heart programs nationally.
Lexington Medical Center has also earned full chest pain accreditation with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC). To receive this accreditation, Lexington Medical Center demonstrated its ability to quickly assess, diagnose and treat patients who may be experiencing a heart attack. By becoming an accredited chest pain center, Lexington Medical Center has enhanced the quality of care for cardiac patients and showed its commitment to the highest standards.
The hospital has continued to build its heart program by offering a variety of new services including TAVR, a minimally-invasive technique that replaces the heart's aortic valve through a catheter, closure of holes in the heart called atrial septal defects (ASDs) and patent foramen ovale (PFO), and insertable cardiac monitors that detect abnormal heart rhythms.
Lexington Medical Center's work with cardiovascular care extends into the community with a robust heart education program. Heart disease is an epidemic in South Carolina. One out of every 3 people in South Carolina dies of cardiovascular disease. Lexington Medical Center is working to teach our community about risk factors, prevention and cardiac technology.

Just one day after his first two lawyers fired him as a client, Trayvon Martin killer George Zimmerman has a new attorney: Orlando lawyer Mark O'Mara.
CNN reports that O'Mara will represent Zimmerman against the second-degree murder charges filed today by State Attorney Angela Corey.
According to a bio on the O'Mara Law Group website, O'Mara is a criminal and family law attorney, as well as a legal analyst for Central Florida's WKMG Channel 6.
In fact, just yesterday, O'Mara was opining about the Zimmerman case, telling WKMG-Channel 6 that he was "surprised that two attorneys who were no longer counsel talked for an hour about a case that they're no longer involved in."
"I think that was a little problematic," O'Mara said. "You're not supposed to talk about a client's case, for the most part at all, and yet they answered dozens of questions."
O'Mara also commented on the Martin case last month, telling WKMG that the shooting could be legally justified by Florida's Stand Your Ground Law. He also said that, without witnesses, it will come down to Zimmerman's word without any contradictions.
"If you can present evidence or at least your own testimony that (you) felt in fear that he was going to commit great bodily injury or death, that is what kicks in the statutory protection that you're allowed to respond with deadly force," O'Mara said.
O'Mara achieved minor local celebrity status in Central Florida as a TV legal analyst during the Casey Anthony trial. O'Mara frequently argued for fairness in the media's coverage of the Anthony trial, and has said that he believes there was a bias against the defense.
Here's a video of O'Mara hanging out with his dog and chatting with someone about the Anthony case.

I love Facebook. I also hate it. And sometimes I'm indifferent, but not often.
As the big IPO day looms closer, lots of folks are taking a second look at this thing that started out as kind of a goofy diversion for college kids and has grown into the beast with 900 million heads.
[ Speaking of the Facebook IPO, check out Zuck's letter to investors, as heard by Cringely. | For a humorous look at the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
For example, an Associated Press/CNBC poll this week notes that nearly half of Americans believe Facebook is a passing fad. On the other hand, roughly the same percentage don't. And when you get past the cranky "get off my lawn you damned kids" senior citizen crowd, the numbers zoom upward dramatically. Nearly 60 percent of adults under age 35 think Facebook is a good bet. A stunning 81 percent of them log onto Facebook -- most of them do it every day -- versus only 21 percent of codgers.
Do the math, and you realize that half of the people who say Facebook is a passing fad have never used it and never will. They will also die sooner than almost everyone else.
How about Facebook's business raison d'etre, advertising? There things don't look so rosy either. Facebook itself admitted that ad revenues are not keeping up with its pace of growth, especially on the mobile side. And General Motors made a point of announcing this week that it is pulling its Facebook advertising, calling it ineffective. Ford, on the other hand, is increasing its ad buys on the social network. And brands like Coca-Cola, Starbucks, McDonalds, and Wal-Mart are seeing a big lift from their Facebook pages, if not necessarily their ads. Again, it's a love/hate thing.
The jury is still out as to whether advertising alone will enable Facebook to reach Google-like revenues or if it will resort to doing other less pleasant things with our data.
On a personal level, I've been using Facebook since late 2006, or a few months after it was opened to the general public. At first it was just to mess around with this thing called "social networking," and most of my "friends" were PR people who were trying to pitch me something. But at some point, I began to use it in the way that God and Zuckerberg intended. About a year after that, I noticed my friends and family using it too. Even some of the most determined Luddites in my social circles were opening up Facebook accounts to see what the fuss was about.
As someone who spends too much time in front of glowing pixels, the main thing I love about Facebook is that it helps me feel connected. Some might also call that an illusion of connectedness, but I don't.
I now know, for example, how many of my aging ex-girlfriends are spending much of their time. Strangely, none of them are still pining for me some 20 or 30 years later.

Media playing central role in Arab uprisings
Posted March 12th, 2011
"You don't understand anything! Don't try to play the patriotic act! I'm a better patriot than you are! I went to war, and fought battles!"
That was Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq losing his temper on a live television talk show two weeks ago. The next day he resigned. In the new Egypt, a talk show brought down a prime minister.
Marianne Nagui of Free Voice, a Dutch foundation promoting independent media in the Middle East and elsewhere, says the Egyptians are in upheaval. "We are living in the wake of the revolution, and it's very chaotic, and very, very disorganised." All media outlets, be it newspapers, television, or social media, are saying whatever they like, and criticising whomever they please. It can be overwhelming, says Ms Nagui.
Officially the authorities are taking a hands-off approach, but the intelligence services remain active under the radar. So it can be difficult for journalists to know what they can and cannot cover.
Sameh Saeed runs a digital platform called Huquq which employs more than 20 journalists. He says intimidation is taking place, but it's not always clear who's behind it. He describes a recent incident that he suspects was ordered by the military. A documentary film crew was filming a demonstration outside the former ministry of information when some men in plain clothes told them to stop. Their cameras were confiscated, and Mr Saeed spent one-and-a-half hours delicately negotiating with the armed men before the journalists managed to get away.
There has also been pressure on governments in other Arab countries to loosen up press restrictions. Journalists working for state television and newspapers demonstrated in Jordan last week, an act unthinkable just three months ago. Yemen has announced a new, more liberal media law - although critics say it's a smokescreen behind which the authorities will continue to repress freedom of expression.
Referendum in Morocco
Restrictions on the press remain very firmly in place in Morocco, but King Mohammed VI has announced plans to hold a referendum on constitutional changes. Aboubakr Jamai, a Moroccan journalist who founded Le Journal back in the 1990s, says this is precisely what the opposition has been calling for.
Mr Jamai is not concerned about a possible crackdown on journalists. "The domestication of the press has reached its apex. It can't get any worse." Instead, he says, everything's happening on Facebook. "If you're a journalist and you wanted to cover the protests on 20 February, or if you want to cover the protest called for 20 March, you have to be on the right Facebook sites. Don't waste your time elsewhere."
Even hard-line countries like Syria and Saudi Arabia are not immune to the spirit of the times. In Syria, the ban on Facebook has been lifted. And social media is making inroads into Saudi Arabia, as well. Diverging from the trend toward more openness, the government in Iraq has reacted to weekly Friday protests by cracking down on the press.
Flashpoint Libya
Libya remains the current flashpoint. There the satellite TV stations Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya are serving a familiar role: the only source of non-state news for much of the country. Idris Ibn Tayeb, a well-known Libyan writer and long-term critic of the Gaddafi regime, says that is changing in the eastern part of the country. Speaking from his home in Benghazi, Mr Ibn Tayeb says journalists there have been publishing short newspapers with news of the fighting and announcements. Voice of Free Libya radio is now broadcasting mediumwave transmissions from Benghazi which reach far into the west of the country, and a TV station in Benghazi has just launched on satellite.
But even when the fighting stops, Libya will have a lot of catching up to do according to Ibn Tayeb. There is very little to build on in terms of institutions, including the media. "During 42 years [of Gaddafi] we've been struggling with nothing."
Thanks to Al Jazeera, Libyans were able to follow the talk-show-induced resignation of Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq. Mr Shafiq has become the personification of the new-found power of the media in the Arab world. And, while Mr Shafiq may have been felled after appearing on a traditional platform, his resignation demonstrates just how far the new media has penetrated the Arab world. The Supreme Military Council governing Egypt announced Mr Shafiq's resignation, where else, on Facebook.

Annie is back on stage (and so is Go Diego Go for those of you who have pre-school kids), the creator of "Hellboy" talks at the ICA, and a political play opens with the best title for a production that, somehow, isn't about the Clintons in "Elections & Erections: A Chronicle of Fear and Fun."
A Dirty, Sexy Political Play: Settle down. It's still too early for "Client Number Nine," my planned musical on the rise and fall of Eliot Spitzer. Instead, this is Pieter-Dirk Uys new show "Elections & Erections: A Chronicle of Fear and Fun" and in the press release he makes it clear that it isn't "a Clinton family copyright." The play is from the point of view of a South African during the apartheid years. This is pure satirical joy for anyone who's sick of plays full of people engaging in long-winded stories about their lives. If I want that, I can just call up my dad and ask him "So, how was work today?" and get a personalized, hour-long performance. April 3 through May 4, Tuesdays through Thursdays 7:30 p.m., Fridays 8 p.m., Saturdays 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., Sundays 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the A.R.T.'s Zero Arrow Theatre in Cambridge. Tickets: $15-$52. Call 617-547-8300.
Coffee and Jam Sessions: Bradford Marsalis is teaming up with the Berklee College of Music to bring Marsalis Jams to the recently launched student-run coffee shop Café 939. The Miguel Zenon Quartet will perform at the event with brief sets that will segue into the jam. The idea is for music students to learn from established groups and to play with them. It's also a chance for the students to get comfortable performing in a coffee shop, where a majority of musicians spend much of their early career singing and playing for change and a cheap caffeine high. Wednesday and Thursday, April 2-3, 8 p.m. at Café 939 (939 Boylston St) in Boston. Tickets: $15. Call 617-266-1400.
Diego Returns for a Rescue: Grab the kids because it's time for them to completely lose it when the national touring production of "Go, Diego, Go Live! The Great Jaguar Rescue" returns to Boston. For those that don't know, Diego is a bilingual 8-year-old who spends his time saving animals and singing the "Hello" song. Inspired by "Avenue Q," I'm pitching a version of Go, Diego, Go for adults, in which a grown-up Diego saves us from making poor stock decisions, explains things like "PMI" and sings karaoke on a Friday night. I want that show. For now, we've got the kids' version. April 5-6, Saturday 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at The Opera House in Boston. Tickets: $21-$53.50. Call 617-931-2787.
The Man Behind 'Hellboy': Before the "Hellboy" sequel comes out this summer, you have a chance to meet Mike Mignola, the guy who dreamed up the comic about the demon who is the world's greatest paranormal investigator. He will speak about current and upcoming projects, including how his comic went from the page to screen (he was heavily involved with the filmmaking). And yes, if you paint your body red, wear a trench coat and walk around with a massive boxing glove on your right hand, you may get special attention from Mignola and probably security. Thursday, April 3, 6:30 p.m. at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. Tickets: $12. Call 617-478-3103.
Red-Headed Orphan: It's time to sing your favorite songs from "Annie," because, somehow the familiar melodies of "It's the Hard-Knock Life" and "Tomorrow" haven't driven you completely mad. "America's most beloved musical" (wait, it's not "Cats"?) returns to Boston for its 30th anniversary tour and will only play for a week. March 25-30, Tuesday to Saturday 7:30 p.m., Sunday 7 p.m. with matinees on Saturday 2 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. at the Citi Performing Arts Center Wang Theatre in Boston. Tickets: $28-$72. Call 800-447-7400.
Porter Performance: Ten singers and a six-piece instrumental group will celebrate the romantic music and lyrics of Cole Porter in this all-student production. You'll hear Broadway classics like "What Is This Thing Called Love?," "Begin the Beguine," and "In the Still of the Night." Don't know who Porter is? Well put down that Hannah Montana album and join the varsity team of music appreciation. Monday and Tuesday, March 31 and April 1, 8 p.m. at the New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall in Boston. Free. Call 617-585-1122.
Art, the Fancy Kind: Yes, there's a difference. You have the typical art in the form of paintings and sculptures that you find at the MFA. Then you have items that represent major design movements from Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern. When the art comes from a movement, it's automatically fancy. See furniture, ceramics, glass and jewelry at AD 20/21: Art & Design of the 20th & 21st Centuries. Want more of the fancy stuff? Show up for the gala preview and get first crack at the good stuff. April 3-6, Thursday (gala event) 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Friday 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. 5 p.m. at the Cyclorama at the Boston Center for the Arts in the South End. Tickets: $100-$250 for gala event, weekend admission $15. Call 617-363-0405.

John McAfee arrives in the US
Software developer John McAfee has arrived in the US after being deported from Guatemala, according to the Associated Press.
John McAfee 'looking forward to resting in Miami'
Millionaire software pioneer John McAfee told reporters on the way to the airport to catch a plan from Guatemala to the USA he was going to Miami, and was going to spend some time resting. He said:
"I think my next step is to rest. I have been running through jungles and oceans and I think I need to rest for a while"
Report: McAfee boards plane to Miami
US software pioneer John McAfee has boarded a plane to Miami following a deportation order from Guatemala, news agency Reuters reports.
Freed McAfee 'en-route' to airport to be flown to US
John McAfee will return to America this evening, according to Reuters, after Guatemala said it would deport the millionaire software pioneer.
McAfee's lawyers managed to block an attempt to deport him back to Belize, where he is wanted by police as a "person of interest" in the killing of his neighbour, Gregory Faull.
Guatemala has been holding 67-year-old McAfee since he was arrested last Wednesday for illegally entering the country with his 20-year-old Belizean girlfriend.
Speaking to reporters from Reuters on telephone before leaving for the airport he said:
"I'll be leaving at 3:30pm to Miami. That was the only option I had.
"I can't take a flight that stops in any other country and there are only two flights going to America today."
McAfee 'happy' to return to America
John McAfee said he was "happy" to return to America. Mr McAfee told reporters earlier today:
Reports: Guatemala to deport John McAfee to the US
Guatemala will deport US software pioneer John McAfee to the United States, according to Reuters.
Mr McAfee had been denied political asylum after evading officials in Belize for nearly a month over the death of his neighbour.
John McAfee says return to US is his 'only hope'
John McAfee hosted a live video broadcast on his blog from his Guatemalan detention centre, asking to return to the US to lead a "normal life".
In a lengthy video statement, the 67-year-old anti-virus software expert said returning to the US was his "only hope".
The former fugitive said that he had no long-term plans during hiding and "simply would like to live comfortably day by day, fish, swim, enjoy my declining years."
He denied murdering his neighbour Gregory Faull in Belize and said there was no hope for his life if ever returned to the country, claiming it is corrupt.
John McAfee is taken to hospital suffering from stress
Software company founder John McAfee was taken to hospital on Thursday after being denied political asylum in Guatemala.
McAfee told The Associated Press that he suffered chest pains overnight but didn't believe he had a heart attack.
A government doctor said he appeared to be suffering from high stress.
John McAfee taken to hospital
Software company founder John McAfee was taken to hospital on Thursday after being denied political asylum in Guatemala.
His lawyers said they were making a last effort to keep him from being flown back to Belize for questioning about the killing of an American expatriate.
Report: John McAfee denied asylum by Guatemala
The software pioneer John McAfee has been denied asylum by Guatemala, according to Reuters. The 67-year-old fled from Belize where police want to question him in connection with the death of another American Gregory Faull.
Mr McAfee claims that the authorities in Belize will kill him if he returns to the country. When told about the claims, the country's Prime Minister said that McAfee was "paranoid and bonkers".

Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 and HD 6570 Video Cards Review (Page 7)
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.2
Version and / or Patch Used: Benchmark Demo
Timedemo or Level Used: Built-in Test
Developer Homepage: http://www.ubi.com/UK/default.aspx
Product Homepage: http://www.hawxgame.com/
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 is an arcade-style flight action game developed by Ubisoft Romania and published by Ubisoft. The game is the sequel to Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X., released in 2009.
The game begins with Colonel David Crenshaw participating in a routine patrol mission in the Middle East. After halting an insurgent attack, a volley of missiles is fired at the Air Force base that Crenshaw was stationed at, with one of the missiles disabling Crenshaw's aircraft, resulting Crenshaw being in enemy captivity. A joint strike force composed of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and a Ghost Recon squad executes an operation to rescue Crenshaw. In Scotland, Royal Navy Pilot Colin Munro encounters an unidentified passenger aircraft that explodes from an on-board bomb when undergoing training exercise. In Russia, an air force squadron led by Colonel Denisov and Captain Dmitri Sokov engages separatist aircraft but is ordered to retreat from the region after numerous Russian military installations have been attacked.
H.A.W.X. 2 favors the NVIDIA offerings and we can clearly see that here. Both the new cards struggle to get that 60 FPS we want at these high in game settings, but if you dropped them down just slightly the HD 6670 would offer some good numbers while the HD 6570 would need a bit more of a major decrease.
Considering that H.A.W.X. 2 isn't all that old a game, though, the numbers these cards get aren't too bad.

The LG Optimus Note is one big phone. It is so big in fact that some might call it a tablet. Pocket-lint caught up with the new handset at Mobile World Congress to find out what's what with the new device.
If you thought the Vu was big in the pictures you've seen, it's even bigger in the flesh. Too big to be a phone - no really, the new Vu should be deemed a tablet.
In reality that's fine, and once you've got over that realisation, you can start to enjoy what the device has to offer - like an amazing screen and a stylus so you can doodle.
The hybrid tablet isn't quite as large as the Note, coming in 0.3 inches smaller with a 5-inch display, but the 4:3 aspect ratio means this isn't going to fit in your pocket - whether you're wearing baggy trousers or a suit jacket.
That 1024x768 resolution IPS screen is very crisp, and combined with a dual-core 1.5GHz processor and 1GB of RAM the Vu was nippy too, when we had a play on the company's stand at Mobile World Congress.
Disappointingly the screen's real estate is somewhat wasted on the phone's interface and when watching movies - especially widescreen - but where you are going to benefit is in enjoying comics and books and taking notes with the stylus.
Software-wise, we're looking at Android 2.3 Gingerbread for now but a 4.0 update is in the works.
At 8.5mm it is pretty thin, given its size, and because of the large screen surface area you get a 2,080mAh battery which hopefully should last you a while. Connectivity comes in the guise of HDMI and DLNA .
The Optimus Vu will go on sale in Korea in March. No word on when it will be hitting the UK.

Product Education
Top Styles:
The pattern of the top plate should be selected in accordance with the application. Four basic patterns are available:
Diamond: Diamond tops have a spike-like steel grid able to grip into wood and provide a secure move for crated or palletized equipment.
Padded: Padded tops with built-in neoprene pad allow some compression and provide a non-slip surface, a versatile choice for moving on less than perfect floor or for moving metal based machines
Diamond grid: Diamond top pattern where more aggressive load-gripping traction is required.
Smooth: Smooth tops have smooth steel top, ideal for mounting the rollers to equipment or as a base unit for a variety of top modifications.
Roller Material Characteristics:
Nylon: Nylon roller material is an all-purpose wheel that allows for good floor protection with high durability. The wheels will not sag and deform if left under the load for a period of time. The hard material rolls easily but when encountering an obstacle, debris can get embedded causing the roller material to crack over time.
Polyurethane: Polyurethane roller material provides even better floor protection that their nylon counterparts with good durability. Poly is a softer wheel that provides excellent floor protection for smooth, painted, finished, sealed or tiled floors. Soft roller sags under max load, as a result it is slightly more difficult to roll. It is resistant against embedding of debris.
Steel: Steel roller material provides the best wear characteristics with the highest durability compared to nylon or poly. This roller material is ideal for non-sensitive, durable floors in rough and tough environments such as construction areas. Rolls easily. Steel will possibly scratch floors especially during turns.
Example of Different Capacities:
1 ton dolly has 2 rollers
3 ton dolly has 4 rollers
6 ton dolly has 8 rollers

NORFOLK, VA -- Naval Station Norfolk's Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) committee introduced their newest trainers, Waterfront Fitness Specialists Jodie Byrkett and Susan Lowry, at an open house in late January. Representatives from gyms on Naval Station Norfolk also spoke at the open house about opportunities for sailors who are seeking to improve their fitness and motivation to get in shape.
"What we're doing is bringing activities to pier-side ships," says Byrkett. "We want to work with them to bring fitness activities to the fleet by offering fitness instruction, fitness training and fitness enhancement program guidance."
The new specialists will help bridge the gap between fitness on shore and at sea. New fitness equipment, offered by Naval Station Norfolk's MWR, will also help.
"I think the equipment is going to be key once we get onboard and go out to sea because we're not going to have the space to do a lot of the workouts we're used to doing right now," says Personnel Specialist 1st Class Paula Ryel, a fitness coordinator onboard the pre-commissioned nuclear aircraft carrier George HW Bush. "We saw a lot of great tools at the open house. We would love to have those once we commission and get on the ship. Having a fit crew is important to keep the ship functioning. It's just as important when we're underway as when we're sitting at shore to keep that level of fitness up."
While awaiting the new carrier's commissioning, the fitness coordinators onboard Bush arrange command physical training outside the ship's walls in the evenings after working hours.
Representatives from amphibious transport dock ship Iwo Jima's MWR were also quick to take advantage of the new equipment.
"We repair our equipment on a daily basis underway," says Fire Controllman 2nd Class Andrea McClellan, president of MWR onboard Iwo Jima. "It's so heavily used. As soon as one person gets off, somebody else gets on."
Staff at Naval Station Norfolk's MWR have high hopes for the future.
"I think this is a great way to look at the gaps between shore and ships," Byrkett says. "I think that there is a need out there for what we are doing, and I think it's going to be pretty successful."

Can a 62-horsepower Rabbit really keep up with a perp standing on the gas pedal of a Barracuda? Hey, the Malaise Era demanded some suspension of disbelief!
Even the Chrysler Slant Six generated more than twice the power of the Rabbit's engine (though the '70 Barracuda convertible- which is my best guess about the yellow car's identity within the limitations of the blurry low-res video- weighed nearly 1,200 pounds more than the VW), but the point is that the Malaise Rabbit wasn't quite as horrifyingly slow as most people thought. Right?

Brandon Knight scored 20 points Sunday night to help the Detroit Pistons snap an 18-game losing streak against the Chicago Bulls with a 99-85 victory Sunday night.
Jonas Jerebko added 17 points and a season-high nine rebounds for the Pistons, who ended an eight-game home skid.
The Bulls led by as many as 11 points in the first quarter but Detroit gradually caught up and took the lead in the second after starting the period on a 12-4 run.
Carlos Boozer had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the postseason-bound Bulls, who are fighting to secure the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. Nate Robinson added 18 points and Jimmy Butler scored 14 as Chicago's two-game winning streak ended.
The Pistons took a 50-46 lead to intermission and pushed it to as many as 10 in the third quarter. Knight scored a dozen points in the period. Detroit scored the first four points of the fourth and never let the Bulls get closer than 10 points the rest of the night.
Rodney Stuckey had 14 points and rookie Andre Drummond added 10 rebounds for Detroit.
Luol Deng, the Bulls' leading scorer and the NBA's leader in minutes per game, missed the game with a sore hip. Coach Tom Thibodeau said the decision to bench him was "precautionary."
Chicago's Joakim Noah, who missed eight games with an injured right foot, and Marco Belinelli, who was out seven with an abdominal strain, each returned Sunday night.
The Bulls were aiming to match the franchise record for consecutive victories over an opponent, which also was against the Pistons. Michael Jordan's 1990s teams won 19 in a row against Detroit.
The Pistons treated home fans to their first win since the All-Star break. They hadn't won at the Palace of Auburn Hills since Feb. 13.
Notes: Pistons point guard Jose Calderon, who had started all 28 games since Detroit acquired him in a Jan. 30 trade, missed the game with a right triceps strain. . Chicago's last loss to the Pistons was Dec. 23, 2008.

Let $X$ be as smooth variety over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$.
Consider the following statements:
- The variety $X$ has no $k((t))$-rational points.
- No smooth compactification of $X$ has a $k$-rational point.
Are these equivalent? If not, what additional assumptions on $X$ would make them equivalent? I'm particularly interested in the case where $X$ is a homogenous space of a "nice" algebraic group over $k$.

Precious genetic material that could protect farm animals from future threats posed by disease and climate change might be lost unless action is taken to protect rare breeds from extinction, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said Monday.
GENEVA -- Precious genetic material that could protect farm animals from future threats posed by disease and climate change might be lost unless action is taken to protect rare breeds from extinction, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization said Monday.
In a 500-page report presented to delegates at the start of an international livestock conference, the U.N. organization urged countries to adopt a 10-year plan to save hundreds of indigenous varieties -- particularly in Asia and Africa -- that are currently under threat from the relentless march of high-yield breeds such as Holstein-Friesian cows and White Leghorn chickens.
"The genetic erosion we are seeing is a matter of concern," the director of the organization's animal production and health division, Samuel Jutzi, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview before the meeting in Interlaken, Switzerland.
According to the report 16 percent of all 7,600 known breeds of cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and other farm animal species are at risk.
Only about 38 percent of breeds are unthreatened, while 11 percent have already disappeared and the health of the remaining 35 percent is unknown, the report says.
"The likelihood is quite high that a large proportion of those (unstudied) breeds is also under threat, but we cannot make this assessment because we don't have the necessary statistics," Jutzi said.
The Food and Agriculture Organization is proposing to step up monitoring of rare breeds, especially in developing countries where the majority of them are found. A similar plan was put in place for plant species in 1996.
The report says farmers in Asia and Africa are under growing pressure to increase production of milk, meat and other agricultural products, leading them to choose non-native breeds over local varieties.
As a result, breeds which have over centuries developed unique characteristics such as resistance to disease and extreme climate conditions are being lost.
Jutzi said one measure to preserve these vital traits would be to establish national or regional gene banks, which could in future be used to reinsert useful characteristics into the herd -- or flock -- when needed.
"With a wider genetic base it's more likely you will find genes which will respond to the challenge of new diseases or climate change," he said.
The view was echoed by Carlos Sere, director-general of the Nairobi-based International Livestock Research Institute.
"Africa has a high diversity of livestock breeds and a high risk of losses," he said, adding that freezing semen, eggs and embryos in liquid nitrogen tanks was an uncomplicated and cheap way of preserving useful genes for hundreds of years.
"In the long run the benefits of having a genetic insurance are probably going to help developed countries as much as developing countries," Sere said. "Everybody should be interested in it."
Among the breeds the International Livestock Research Institute says are most at risk are the Ankole cattle, whose drought resistance and rich milk made them prized animals in East and Central Africa until the arrival of European dairy cows.
Similarly, the Red Maasai sheep of East Africa, which have developed genetic resistance to a common parasite, have almost disappeared since the introduction of Dorper sheep from South Africa 15 years ago, the research institute says.
Rich countries have already recognized the importance of maintaining a diverse gene pool, the U.N. report says.
Farmers in the Swiss canton (state) of Valais are cultivating a breed of cattle known as Evolene Cow, famed for its robustness and fierce nature.
Tamworth pigs, known for their lean meat, have also won favor with breeders in the United States and Britain who want to preserve them for crossbreeding with more common porcine varieties.
Jutzi said food connoisseurs and advocates of organic farming had given rare breeds in the developed world a lifeline, though he questioned whether this was likely to happen in developing countries.
An independent expert not attending the conference told The Associated Press that preserving genetic diversity was a prudent step irrespective of whether new diseases or climate change actually affect farming.
"It's so difficult to second guess what the future may hold. Livestock types that may have little value now may have great value in the future for any number of reasons," Glenn Selk, a professor of animal science at Oklahoma State University, said.

Heaven is for Real was up two spots from Monday to move into first place on Tuesday with $2.44 million. Sony's low-budget faith-based drama was down just 2 percent from Monday. Heaven is for Real continues to exceed expectations with an impressive seven-day start of $34.48 million and with the exception of Monday's hold, continues to display strong initial holding power. Heaven is for Real is currently running 17 percent ahead of the $29.46 million seven-day take of 2010's The Last Song.
Disney's Captain America: The Winter Soldier held steady in second with $2.21 million. The blockbuster 3D superhero sequel from Marvel was down 15 percent from Monday and down 53 percent from last Tuesday. Captain America: The Winter Soldier has grossed $205.30 million through 19 days and is set to surpass the $206.36 million final domestic gross of last year's Thor: The Dark World today. The Winter Soldier is currently running 20 percent ahead of the $171.22 million 19-day take of The Dark World.
Fox's Rio 2 fell two spots from Monday to land in third place on Tuesday with $1.93 million. The 3D computer animated sequel from Blue Sky Studios was down 28 percent from Monday's inflated post-Easter performance and down 55 percent from last Tuesday. Rio 2 has grossed a very solid $79.65 million through twelve days of release. That places the film 7 percent behind the $86.06 million twelve-day take of 2011's Rio.
Warner's Transcendence grossed $1.03 million to remain in fourth. The pricey sci-fi film starring Johnny Depp was up an encouraging 4 percent over Monday, but still continues to perform very poorly in the bigger picture, especially with its price tag in mind. Transcendence has grossed just $12.92 million in its first five days of release, which places it 7 percent behind the $13.85 million five-day start of 2007's Grindhouse.
Bears experienced a strong boost from Earth Day, as the latest nature documentary from Disneynature was up 42 percent and one spot from Monday to claim fifth with $0.931 million. Despite yesterday's performance, Bears is still performing a bit below expectations with a five-day take of $6.36 million. That places the film 12 percent behind the $7.21 million five-day start of 2011's African Cats.
Open Road's A Haunted House 2 was down one spot and 8 percent from Monday to finish in sixth with $0.615 million. The low-budget horror comedy sequel starring Marlon Wayans has grossed an underwhelming $10.12 million in five days, placing it 49.5 percent behind the $20.05 million five-day take of last year's A Haunted House.
