Boston's transport network consists of the country's oldest subway system, buses, trolley buses, ferries around the harbour and the commuter rail. For getting around the Boston-Cambridge area the subway is the best as it is easy to use, fast and safe. It serves most of the city and on the whole visitors will have little use for the bus network, which is cheaper but more confusing for newcomers. Buses operate from 5am to 11.30pm and the subway until around 2am, and a 'Night Owl' bus service has been introduced to provide transport along main bus routes and parallel to subway lines on Friday and Saturday nights until 2.30am as well. Taxis are plentiful but expensive, although water taxis are popular as a novel way to explore the city. Licensed cabs are best found at cabstands (usually near hotels) or can be reserved by phone; they are metered and provide receipts. Boston is a motorist's nightmare and there is no need to rent a car while in the city, unless planning excursions.
GMT -5 (GMT -4 from mid-March to first Sunday in November).
Electrical current is 120 volts, 60Hz. Plugs are mainly the type with two flat pins, though three-pin plugs are also widely used. European appliances without dual-voltage capabilities will require an adapter.
The official currency is the US Dollar (USD), which is divided into 100 cents. Only major banks exchange foreign currency. ATMs are widespread and credit cards are widely accepted. Banking hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm.
The international country dialling code for the United States is +1. Mobile networks cover most of the country, including all urban areas, however unless you have a tri-band phone it is likely your cellular phone from home will not work in the United States. Internet cafes are prevalent in most towns and cities.

The Sega CD, released as the Mega-CD (Japanese: メガCD Hepburn: Mega-Shī Dī) in most regions outside North America, is a CD-ROM accessory for the Sega Genesis video game console designed and produced by Sega as part of the fourth generation of video game consoles. The add-on was released on December 12, 1991 in Japan, October 15, 1992 in North America, and 1993 in Europe. The Sega CD lets the user play CD-based games and adds extra hardware functionality, such as a faster central processing unit and graphic enhancements. It can also play audio CDs and CD+G discs.
Seeking to create an add-on device for the Genesis, Sega developed the unit to read compact discs as its storage medium. The main benefit of CD technology was greater storage capacity, which allowed for games to be nearly 320 times larger than their Genesis cartridge counterparts. This benefit manifested in the form of full motion video (FMV) games like the controversial Night Trap, which became a focus of the 1993 Congressional hearings on issues of video game violence and ratings. Sega Enterprises in Japan partnered with JVC to design the add-on and refused to consult with Sega of America until the project was completed. Sega of America assembled parts from various "dummy" units to obtain a working prototype. While the add-on became known for several well-received games such as Sonic the Hedgehog CD and Lunar: Eternal Blue, its game library contained a large number of Genesis ports and FMV titles. The Sega CD was redesigned a number of times, including once by Sega and several times by licensed third-party developers.
2.24 million Sega CD units were sold by March 1996, after which the system was officially discontinued as Sega shifted its focus to the Sega Saturn. Retrospective reception to the add-on is mixed, praising the Sega CD for its individual offerings and additions to the Genesis' functions, but offering criticism to the game library for its depth issues, high price of the unit, and how the add-on was supported by Sega.
Released in 1988, the Genesis (known as the Mega Drive in Europe and Japan) was Sega's entry into the fourth generation of video game consoles.[1]
By the early 1990s, compact discs were making significant headway as a storage medium for music and video games. NEC had been the first to use compact disc technology in a video game console with their PC Engine CD-ROM² System add-on in October 1988 in Japan (launched in North America as the TurboGrafx-CD the following year), which sold 80,000 units in six months.[2] That same year, Nintendo announced a partnership with Sony to develop its own CD-ROM peripheral for the Super NES. Commodore International released their CD-based CDTV multimedia system centered in early 1991, while long-in-waiting CD-i from Philips finally arrived towards the end of that year.[3]
Shortly after the release of the Genesis, Sega's Consumer Products Research and Development Labs led by manager Tomio Takami were tasked with creating a CD-ROM add-on for the system, which became the Sega CD. The Sega CD was originally intended to equal the capabilities of the TurboGrafx-CD, but with twice as much random-access memory (RAM), and sell for about JP¥20,000 (or US$150).[4] In addition to relatively short loading times, Takami's team planned for the device to feature hardware scaling and rotation similar to that found in Sega's arcade games, which required the use of a dedicated digital signal processor (DSP).[4][5] However, two changes made later in development contributed to the final unit's higher than expected price.[4] Because the Genesis' Motorola 68000 CPU was too slow to handle the Sega CD's new graphical capabilities, an additional 68000 CPU was incorporated into the add-on.[4] In addition, upon hearing rumors that NEC planned a memory upgrade to the TurboGrafx-CD, which would bring its available RAM from 0.5 Mbit to between 2 and 4 Mbit, Sega decided to increase the Sega CD's available RAM from 1 Mbit to 6 Mbit.[4] This proved to be one of the greatest technical challenges during development since the Genesis' access speed was initially too slow to run programs effectively.[5] The cost of the device was now estimated at $370, but market research convinced Sega executives that consumers would be willing to pay more for a state-of-the-art machine.[4] Sega partnered with JVC, which had been working with Warner New Media to develop a CD player under the CD+G standard, to develop the Sega CD.[2][6]
Up until the middle of 1991, Sega of America had been kept largely uninformed of the details of the project, without a functioning unit to test (although Sega of America was provided with preliminary technical documents earlier in the year).[7] According to former Sega of America executive producer Michael Latham, "When you work at a multinational company, there are things that go well and there are things that don't. They didn't want to send us working Sega CD units. They wanted to send us dummies and not send us the working CD units until the last minute because they were concerned about what we would do with it and if it would leak out. It was very frustrating."[3] Even though they were not provided a functioning unit, Latham and Sega of America vice president of licensing Shinobu Toyoda put together a functioning Sega CD by acquiring a ROM for the system and installing it in a dummy unit.[3] Further frustrating the Sega of America staff was the construction of the add-on. "The Mega-CD was designed with a cheap, consumer-grade audio CD drive, not a CD-ROM," stated Scot Bayless, former Sega of America senior producer. "Quite late in the run-up to launch, the quality assurance teams started running into severe problems with many of the units—and when I say severe, I mean units literally bursting into flames. We worked around the clock, trying to catch the failure in-progress, and after about a week we finally realized what was happening," citing the need of game titles to utilize more time seeking data than the CD drive was designed to provide.[8]
Sega announced the release of the Mega-CD in Japan for late 1991, and North America (as the Sega CD) in 1992. It was unveiled to the public for the first time at the 1991 Tokyo Toy Show, to positive reception from critics.[9] The Mega-CD would go on to be released in Japan on December 12, 1991, initially retailing at JP¥49,800.[10] Though the unit sold quickly, the small install base of the Mega Drive in Japan meant that sales declined rapidly after launch.[11] Within its first year in Japan, the Mega-CD only sold 100,000 units. Third-party development of games for the new system suffered because Sega took a long amount of time to release software development kits.[9][12] Other factors impacting sales included the high launch price of the Mega-CD in Japan and only two titles being available at launch.[9]
On October 15, 1992, the Sega CD was released in North America, with a retail price of US$299.[3] Advertising for the add-on included one of Sega's slogans, "Welcome to the Next Level". Though only 50,000 units were available at launch due to production issues, the add-on sold over 200,000 units by the end of 1992.[11] As part of Sega's sales, Blockbuster LLC purchased Sega CD units for rental in their stores.[13] The Mega-CD was launched in Europe in the spring of 1993,[9] at a price of GB£270. Only 70,000 units were initially available in the United Kingdom, but 60,000 units were sold by August 1993.[11] Emphasized by Sega of America, the benefits of the Sega CD's additional storage space allowed for a large amount of full motion video (FMV) games to be published for the add-on,[12][14][15] with Digital Pictures becoming an important partner for Sega.[3] After the initial competition between Sega and Nintendo to develop a CD-based add-on, Nintendo eventually canceled the development process of its own competing peripheral after having partnered with Sony and then with Philips to develop one.[3]
Sega would go on to release the add-on's second model, the Sega CD 2 (Mega-CD 2), on April 23, 1993 in Japan at a price of JP¥29,800,[16] It was released in North America several months later at the reduced retail price of US$229, with one of the system's best-selling games, Sewer Shark, as a pack-in.[12][17] Designed to bring down the manufacturing costs of the Sega CD, the newer model is smaller and does not contain the motorized disc tray used in the initial model.[11] A limited number of games were also later developed that utilized both the Sega CD and the 32X add-ons, the latter of which was released in November 1994.[18]
Night Trap controversy
On December 9, 1993, the United States Congress began to hold hearings on video game violence and the marketing of violent video games to children.[19] One of the games at the center of this controversy was the Sega CD's Night Trap, a full-motion video adventure game by Digital Pictures.[15] Night Trap had been brought to the attention of United States Senator Joe Lieberman, who said of the game, "I looked at that game, too, and there was a classic. It ends with this attack scene on this woman in lingerie, in her bathroom. I know that the creator of the game said it was all meant to be a satire of Dracula; but nonetheless, I thought it sent out the wrong message." Lieberman's research later went on to conclude that the average video game player at the time was between seven and twelve years old, and that video game publishers were marketing violence to children.[19] Similar issues were brought up in the United Kingdom, with former Sega of Europe development director Mike Brogan noting that "Night Trap got Sega an awful lot of publicity.... Questions were even raised in the UK Parliament about its suitability. This came at a time when Sega was capitalizing on its image as an edgy company with attitude, and this only served to reinforce that image."[8] Although experiencing increased sales as a result of the hearings, Sega decided to recall Night Trap and re-release it with revisions in 1994.[20] After the close of these hearings, video game manufacturers came together in 1994 to establish the rating system called for by Lieberman, eventually materializing in the form of the Entertainment Software Rating Board.[19]
As time passed, the releases of new CD-based consoles such as the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer rendered the Sega CD technically obsolete, reducing public interest in the add-on.[11] In late 1993, less than a year after the system's launches in North America and Europe, the gaming media reported that Sega was no longer accepting in-house development proposals for the Mega-CD in Japan.[21] In early 1995, Sega shifted its focus to the Sega Saturn and discontinued all advertising for Genesis hardware, including the Sega CD. The add-on itself was officially discontinued in 1996.[12] 2.24 million Sega CD units were sold worldwide, including 400,000 in Japan.[22]
Technical specifications
The Sega CD can only be used in conjunction with a Genesis system, attaching through an expansion slot on the side of the main console. Though the Sega CD is an add-on, it does require its own separate power supply. In addition to playing its own library of games in CD-ROM format, the Sega CD can also play compact discs, karaoke CD+G discs, and can also be used in conjunction with the 32X to play 32-bit games that utilize both add-ons. The second model, also known as the Sega CD 2, also includes a steel joining plate to be screwed into the bottom of the Genesis, as well as an extension spacer to work with the original model of the Genesis.[23]
The main CPU of the Sega CD is a 12.5MHz 16-bit Motorola 68000 processor,[9][24] which runs 5 MHz faster than the Genesis processor.[12] It contains 1 Mbit of boot ROM, allocated for the CD game BIOS, CD player software, and compatibility with CD+G discs. 6 Mbit of RAM are allocated to data for programs, pictures, and sounds; 512 Kbit to PCM waveform memory; 128 Kbit to CD-ROM data cache memory; and an additional 64 Kbit are allocated as backup memory.[23] Additional backup memory in the form of a 1 Mbit Backup RAM Cartridge was also available as a separate purchase, released near the end of the system's life.[25] Audio is able to be supplied through the Ricoh RF5C164, and two RCA pin jacks allow the Sega CD to output stereophonic sound separate from the Genesis. Combining stereo sound from a Genesis to either version of the Sega CD requires a cable between the Genesis's headphone jack and an input jack on the back of the CD unit. This is not required for the second model of the Genesis.[23]
Though the Sega CD offers a faster processor, its main purpose is to expand the size of the games. Whereas ROM cartridges of the day typically contained 8 to 16 megabits of data, a CD-ROM disc can hold more than 640 megabytes of data, or more than 320 times the storage of a Genesis cartridge. This allows the Sega CD to run games containing full motion video.[3]
The Sega CD received several variations during its lifetime, of which Sega constructed three. The original model utilized a front-loading motorized disc tray and sat underneath the Genesis.[12] Sega later released the second model of the Sega CD, which was redesigned to sit next to the Genesis console and featured a top-loading disc tray in place of the motorized tray of the original model.[12] In addition to the add-on models, Sega also released the Genesis CDX (Multi-Mega in Europe). This console was a combination of the Genesis and Sega CD into one unit, and initially retailed at US$399. Unique to this model was its additional functionality as a portable compact disc player.[26]
Three additional system models were created by other electronics companies. Working with Sega, JVC released the Wondermega on April 1, 1992, in Japan, at an initial retail price of ¥82,800 (or US$620). The system was later redesigned by JVC and released as the X'Eye in North America in September 1994. Designed by JVC to be a Genesis and Sega CD combination with high quality audio, the Wondermega's high price kept it out of the hands of average consumers.[27] Likewise was the case with the Pioneer LaserActive, which was also an add-on that required an attachment developed by Sega, known as the Mega-LD pack, in order to play Genesis and Sega CD games. Though the LaserActive, developed by Pioneer Corporation, was lined up to compete with the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, the combined system and Mega-LD pack retailed at nearly $1600, becoming a very expensive option for Sega CD players.[28] Aiwa also released the CSD-GM1, a combination Genesis/Sega CD unit built into a boombox.[1]
Game library
The Sega CD supports a library of over 200 games created both by Sega and an array of third-party publishers. Included in this library are six games which, while receiving individual Sega CD releases, also received separate versions that utilized both the Sega CD and 32X add-ons.[18] Among the titles released for the add-on were a number of FMV games, including Sewer Shark and Fahrenheit. Well-regarded titles include Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Lunar: Eternal Blue and Lunar: The Silver Star, Popful Mail, and Snatcher, as well as the controversial Night Trap.[14][15][29][30][31] Although Sega created Streets of Rage for the Genesis to compete against the SNES port of the arcade hit Final Fight, the Sega CD received an enhanced version of the latter game that has been praised for its greater faithfulness to the arcade original.[32][33] Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side was noted for its impressive use of the system's hardware as well as its violent content.[34][35] In particular, Sonic the Hedgehog CD has garnered critical acclaim for its excellent graphics and new time travel elements, which improved upon the traditional Sonic formula.[15][36][37][38][39][40] The Sega CD also received enhanced ports of games from the Genesis, such as Batman Returns and Ecco the Dolphin.[9]
Given the large number of FMV games and Genesis ports, the Sega CD's game library has been criticized for its lack of depth. Full motion video quality was substandard on the Sega CD due to poor video compression software and the system's limited color palette,[14] and the concept never caught on with the public.[12] According to Digital Pictures founder Tom Zito, "Sega CD could only put up 32 colors at a time, so you had this horrible grainy look to the images,"[3] though the system was able to put up 64 colors at one time.[41] Likewise, most Genesis ports for the Sega CD featured additional full motion video sequences, extra levels, and enhanced audio, but were otherwise identical to their Genesis release.[12] The video quality in these sequences has also been criticized as comparable to an old VHS tape.[14]
Reception and legacy
Near the time of its release, the Sega CD was awarded Best New Peripheral of 1992 by Electronic Gaming Monthly. Four separate reviews scored the add-on 8, 9, 8, and 8 out of 10; reviewers cited its upgrades to the Genesis as well as its high-quality and expanding library of games.[42] Later reception in 1995 by Electronic Gaming Monthly showed a more mixed response to the peripheral, with four reviewers scoring it 5 out of 10, citing its game library issues and substandard video quality.[43] GamePro also criticized the weak games library and substandard video quality, noting that many of the games were simple ports of cartridge games with minimal enhancements and commenting that "The Sega CD could have been an upgrade, but it's essentially a big memory device with CD sound." They gave it a "thumbs sideways" and recommended that Genesis fans buy an SNES before even considering a Sega CD.[44] Likewise, in a special Game Machine Cross Review in May 1995, Famicom Tsūshin scored the Japanese Mega-CD 2 a 17 out of 40.[45]
Retrospective reception of the Sega CD is mixed, praising certain titles in its game library but criticizing its low value for money and limitations on the benefits it provides to the Genesis.[14][15][46] GamePro listed the Sega CD as the 7th-worst selling video game console of all time, with reviewer Blake Snow noting that "The problem was threefold: the device was expensive at $299, it arrived late in the 16-bit life cycle, and it didn't do much (if anything) to enhance the gameplay experience." Snow went on to note, however, that the Sega CD did have in its library "the greatest Sonic game of all time" in Sonic the Hedgehog CD.[46] IGN's Levi Buchanan criticized Sega's implementation of CD technology for the Genesis, noting, "What good is the extra storage space if there is nothing inventive to be done with it? No new gameplay concepts emerged from the SEGA CD—it just offered more of the same. In fact, with few exceptions like Sonic CD, it often offered some of the 16-bit generation's worst games, like Demolition Man."[14] Jeremy Parish of USgamer pointed out that "Sega was hardly the only company to muddy its waters with a CD add-on in the early '90s" and highlighted some "gems" for the system, but cautioned "the benefits offered by the Sega CD had to be balanced against the fact that the add-on more than doubled the price (and complexity) of the [Genesis]."[47] Writing for Retro Gamer, Damien McFerran cited various reasons for the Sega CD's limited sales, including the add-on's high price, lack of significant enhancement to the Genesis console, and lack of ability to function without a console attached.[11] Retro Gamer writer Aaron Birch, however, defended the Sega CD and wrote that "the single biggest cause of the Mega-CD's failure was the console itself. When the system came out, CD-ROM technology was still in its infancy and companies had yet to get to grips with the possibilities it offered... quite simply, the Mega-CD was a console ahead of its time."[9]
The poor support for the Sega CD has often been criticized as the first link in the devaluation of the Sega brand. Writing for IGN, Buchanan described an outside perspective on Sega's decision to release the Sega CD with its poor library and console support, stating, "[T]he SEGA CD instead looked like a strange, desperate move—something designed to nab some ink but without any real, thought-out strategy. Genesis owners that invested in the add-on were sorely disappointed, which undoubtedly helped sour the non-diehards on the brand."[14] In reviewing for GamePro, Snow commented that "[the] Sega CD marked the first of several Sega systems that saw very poor support; something that devalued the once-popular Sega brand in the eyes of consumers, and something that would ultimately lead to the company's demise as a hardware maker."[46]
Former Sega of America senior producer Scot Bayless attributes the unsuccessful market to a lack of direction from Sega with the add-on. According to Bayless, "It was a fundamental paradigm shift with almost no thought given to consequences. I honestly don't think anyone at Sega asked the most important question: 'Why?' There's a rule I developed during my time as an engineer in the military aviation business: never fall in love with your tech. I think that's where the Mega-CD went off the rails. The whole company fell in love with the idea without ever really asking how it would affect the games you made."[11] Sega of America producer Michael Latham offers a contrasting view of support for the add-on, however, stating "I loved the Sega CD. I always thought the platform was under-appreciated and that it was hurt by an over-concentration of trying to make Hollywood interactive film games versus using its storage and extended abilities to make just plain great video games."[48] Former Sega of Europe president Nick Alexander commented on the Mega-CD, saying "The Mega CD was interesting but probably misconceived and was seen very much as the interim product it was. I am afraid I cannot recall the sales numbers, but it was not a success."[49]

This exercise teaches the users that for small nanostructures the concept of the effective mass becomes vague and in order to properly describe nanostructures one has to take into account the numerically calculated dispersion relation. This is clearly illustrated on the example of Si nanowires with different cross sections.

A full-body scanner being trialled at Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle airport. Photograph: Benoit Tessier/Reuters
Eleven more airports across Britain, including Stansted, Luton and Liverpool, are to be required to screen passengers with new generation full-body scanners, the transport secretary, Patrick McLoughlin, has announced.
But he has ordered that a ban on flying for passengers who refuse to go through the controversial scanners should be lifted from Friday as long as they agree to undergo an alternative private hand-search.
The full-body scanners are already in use at 10 of Britain's largest airports. Initial trials at Manchester airport since 2009 proved controversial as they produced a detailed, ghost-like image of the naked body, which was viewed by security staff.
The machines, which use x-ray technology, were scrapped a year ago because of privacy and health concerns. Some Muslim passengers refused to walk through the full-body scanners on religious grounds.
The transport secretary said the new generation of full-body scanners now being extended to Britain's main charter flight and regional airports were based on radio-wave or millimetre wave technology, which carried no known health risks.
"All security scanners deployed now use automatic threat recognition software which means that no image of a passenger is produced, thus alleviating any residual health or privacy concerns," said McLoughin in a written ministerial statement.
The new scanners are to be deployed at Aberdeen, Belfast City, Bristol, Cardiff, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, Luton, Newcastle, Prestwick and Stansted airports.
The transport secretary said the full-body scanners were fully deployed after the Christmas Day airline bomb plot in 2009 and the discovery of an experimental non-metallic explosive device in Yemen in spring 2012.
He added that the devices were designed to make detection by conventional screening technology extremely difficult. He had decided to extend the use of the scanners to more British airports because of this and because, more generally, the terrorist threat level in Britain remained at "substantial", meaning that an attack was a strong possibility.
The transport secretary acknowledged that there was a "small minority" of passengers who did not wish to go through the body scanners. He said the ban on passengers flying who refuse to go through the scanners was imposed for security and operational reasons. In part it was because offering an alternative of a "thorough hand-search" was considered to disruptive to the airport and to other passengers.
"However, experience of operating security scanners for several years has shown that the vast majority of passengers are content to be screened by a security scanner if selected. Consequently the number of passengers refusing to be scanned is very low. As a result, and having reviewed the current position, I have concluded that from tomorrow, Friday 22 November, passengers who opt out of being screened by a security scanner will be allowed a private search alternative," said the transport secretary.
"If a passenger does not accept this alternative method, and still refuses the security scan, they will not be allowed to fly on that occasion," he added. "This approach will allow the small minority of passengers who continue to have concerns about the use of scanners to request an alternative method of screening while maintaining high levels of security at UK airports."

Browns sign Hoyer, Jackson
Berea, OH – The Cleveland Browns agreed to terms with quarterback Brian Hoyer and running back Brandon Jackson on Thursday.
Hoyer, a Cleveland-area native, started Arizona's final regular-season game in 2012 and passed for 225 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 27-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The Michigan State product has spent most of his time in the NFL as a backup with the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cardinals. Hoyer has thrown for 616 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in 15 career games.
Jackson originally signed with the Browns as an unrestricted free agent prior to the 2011 regular season, but missed the entire year due to a toe injury. Last season, he played in just two games.
The Nebraska product has rushed for 1,383 yards and seven touchdowns in 54 career games with the Packers and Browns. Jackson has 112 receptions for 864 yards and two scores.

Family Golf Month is more than just about spending time on the course with your family — it's about introducing the game to your family, sharing its enjoyment and reaping its benefits. One significant benefit of playing golf is the fitness component of the game — the more you play, the more exercise you get, the more health you'll enjoy.
It's with that thought in mind that the PGA of America has partnered with the Cartoon Network for its third annual MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR, a summer campaign targeting youth 6-14 designed to promote the benefits of exercise while fighting the problem of childhood obesity.
Go to any course this season and you'll realize that playing golf, even in your own hometown, may be the perfect family vacation. It's hard to imagine a better family activity than golf. Take your family golfing and enjoy a day outside.
"Golf is a great family activity because it gets everyone outside and active for several hours of the day," said David Donatucci, director of fitness and performance for The PGA of America. "The best thing about golf as exercise is that it doesn't feel like you're exercising. Walking 18 holes through beautiful scenery is a fun, moderate exercise that the people of all ages can enjoy."
Cartoon Network recently announced launch plans for its third annual MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR, in partnership with the President's Council on Fitness, Sports Nutrition and in support of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative. The 17-market tour will launched officially June 10 in Atlanta — on the heels of National Physical Fitness Sports Month in May — and travels throughout the country to prime family locations in 17 key markets, sponsored by local cable affiliates. The tour will ultimately make its way back to the Midwest, concluding Aug. 12 in Houston.
Presented in a themed, exciting and fun outdoor environment, the MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR will feature multiple activity and learning stations, incorporating such additional core partner organizations as the Boys Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), NBA/WNBA FIT NBA Hoop Troop, NFL PLAY 60 and The PGA of America.
The MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR is part of Cartoon Network's long-established, award-winning pro-social efforts to provide support and encouragement in the ongoing battle against childhood obesity through such varied activities as daily recess, health wellness education and active after-school involvement. The in-market traveling tour will be supported extensively by Cartoon Network and its participating cable affiliates. Top markets currently scheduled for the 2012 tour route include New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, Miami, Seattle, Phoenix, Tampa, Denver, Sacramento, Orlando, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis.
In an effort to sustain daily fitness and positive nutritional behavior, Cartoon Network is again working with the President's Council on Fitness, Sport Nutrition to promote youth and family registration and participation-both in-school and at after-school facilities-in the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA+). The MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR will spotlight the PALA+ program at its own activity station, and feature it among Cartoon Network's on-air and digital platforms. PALA+ is the next phase of PALA designed to motivate Americans to make physical activity and healthy eating part of their everyday life. The physical activity requirements for PALA+ remain the same: 60 minutes/day for kids, 30 minutes/day for adults, five days a week for six out of eight weeks. The new nutrition component requires participants to add a weekly healthy eating goal and build upon those goals throughout the same six-week period. Individuals who achieve the physical activity and healthy eating goals will receive a certificate signed by the Council Co-chairs Drew Brees and Dominique Dawes.
Families planning to visit and participate in the MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR can enjoy a host of activities, including the PGA of America Driving Range — drive the ball for accuracy and distance with The PGA driving range! Top scores are posted on the PGA Sports Academy leaderboard.

"Judas Maccabaeus" is the Hanukkah "Messiah."
Or it would be if choral groups had an equal-oratorio policy with Handel. Such a policy, in addition, would give us regular airings of another 23 Handel oratorios, all late works (the composer turned to oratorio when the opera business in London went bust) and all of exceptional quality.
This year, though, the Pacific Symphony and Chorale, conducted by John Alexander, are offering a major "Judas Maccabaeus" on Sunday, the fourth day of the eight-day holiday that celebrates the victorious Maccabean revolt by 2nd century Judean Jews against the Seleucid Empire.
PHOTOS: Arts and culture in pictures by The Times
A devout Christian, Handel was not, of course, thinking Hanukkah when he rapidly scribbled down the oratorio in a month's time in 1746, five years after he composed "Messiah." Ironically, the new oratorio celebrated the English army's crushing of a rebel attack against the Duke of Cumberland when his librettist, the Rev. Thomas Morell, came up with the idea of suggesting that the duke belonged in the company of the "Nine Worthies" to which Judas was said to belong. Another irony is that the oratorio was meant as a Lenten season work.
Nevertheless, "Judas Maccabaeus," while more reflective than action-packed in this version, is the story Jews tell, and the music is full of Handel's usual wonders. Judas and his brother Simon are the only dramatic characters, but the composer of "Royal Fireworks Music" has little trouble finding song for firing up the forces.
CRITICS' PICKS: What to watch, where to go, what to eat
The most moving music, however, can be found in the commentary by an Israelite man and woman (both sung by women). That includes the famously serene aria "Father of Heav'n," a specialty of the great British contralto Kathleen Ferrier, whose recording of it could put the most agitated heart at ease better than even a generous dose of Prozac.
And easing the agitated heart may be the best gift of all for the holiday season.

Me and another JETS fan that I work with are trying to figure it out.
I say 10, but 2 are from the same woman. He says 11 and 3 are from the same woman.
Does anyone have the latest tally?
I say at least one of them makes it to the NFL.
I'd take his word for it. He probably knows how many kids he has.
Anyhow I recall she was always smiling, I was in next room as her and I swear it was stressfull to perform knowing I was being critique on other side. BTW she told me he was gigantic. Wilt bedded 20,000 girls so I guess he knew what he was doing, 15 new girls in one week was fairly normal for wilt.
Per Manish......Cro and his agent are in negotiations with the Jets as we speak. Cro is looking for the Jets to turn his 2012 salary into a signing bonus in order to complete his back to school shopping.
who cares?
lol. "Cromartie's kids". Thats the name of my fantasy football team.

Board Acts on New The Clarion Male Quartet
Building Program
The, School Board met on Wed-nesday,:
January 21, in the College
building. The main business of the
meeting concerned the new build-ing
program with emphasis on an
early start of the actual construct-ion
of the Administration building.
A committee was appointed to
,loOk into the possibilities of begin-ning
the long-awaited project. Due
to present shortages and also to
necessary limitation due to the ex-pense
involved, it was suggested
that only the part of the building
containing of. offices and library
be built now, the new chapel being
left till some future date. Estimat-ed
cost of.the new building is $200,-
A brief survey enrollment was
also presented. Over 70 applicat-ions
for apartments in the Hag-strom
Residence have been filed.
Enrollment for. next year is ex-
' pected to reach the 700 mark.
Big Demand For
D.V.B. S. Workers
"Already fifty requests for Bible
school teachers have been received,
and many more are yet to come
for this' summer's work," Miss
Sable announced in chapel last
Thursday morning, at which time
a plea was given for more workers
to join in Daily Vacation Bible
School work.
The requests have come from
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and
South Dakota, and include con-ference
churches. Last year the
D. V. B. S. work was distributed
in ten states and districts conf-erences
extending from coast to
coast. Fifty-eight reports were re-ceived
from the schools indicating
a total enrollment of 2,757 boys
and girls. The average cost for the
schools was estimated at 68c per
pupil. Bethel sent out 47 workers
last summer plus additional stud-ents
who were engaged in teaching
in their own home churches. Many
others taught and conducted evan-gelistic
services who were not sent
by the school.
For those workers who are sent
out by the school to churches in
Minnesota, the Women's Union of
the Minnesota Conference contri-butes
$500 each year to a fund
which guarentees a salary of $15
per week for two-week schools,
and $20 per week for one- week
All-School Super Party
Scheduled Friday 13th
Firday, February 13, 1948 is a
date to watch for reasons other
than superstition. The Clarion staff
is planning a Super Party for the
entire school. Four themes, the
famous birthdays in February, the
superstitious date, Valentines day,
and Leap Year, will be emphasized.
Committees have been chosen and
plans are in progress for this big
event. Watch for further details.
Male Chorus Plans
Spring Concert Tour
Plans for the annual spring con-cert
tour of the Bethel Male Chorus
are well advanced now. Chorus
president Dave Carlson announced
the tentative schedule as proposed
by the Policy Committee last Wed-nesday
afternoon. The trip is to
cover a distance of over 3,500 miles
and it will include twenty-two
concerts in Conference churches
on the East Coast, as well as in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Chicago.
As the schedule reads now, the
tour will begin at the end of the
week after Easter and will extend
over two weeks and three week-ends.
The trip is is yet tentative,
however, as the churches concern-ed
are being contacted and nothing
fnial can be announced until they
have agreed to sponsor the con-certs.
The last time a Bethel chorus
took a comparable trip was in 1938
when the Male Chorus made a
three week swing through the
eastern churches. Quite a bit of
enthusiam has been shown by
chorus members already and a
successful tour is anticipated.
B.W.A. for February
Special feature for B. W. A. this
month includes its entire sponsor-ship
by students' wives. The func-tion
is scheduled for Friday, Feb.
13th, at 3 p.m. All women associat-ed
with Bethel are invited.
Student Council Studies
Motion Picture Prog.
Selection of a committee to in-vestigate
the possibilities of set-ting
up a motion picture program
at Bethel was made by the Student
Council at its regular monthly
meeting on January 27. The com-mittee
will make its investigation
with an aim of discovering avail-able
motion pictures which will
adhere to the Christian policy of
the College and which will prove
of interest to students.
The Council also set the follow-ing
hours for use of the skating
rink for purposes other than reg-ular
skating: 3-5 p.m., hockey; - 9-,
12 a.m., Saturdays, neighborhood
children. It is requested by the
Council that students refrain from
walking across the rink before the
snow can be scraped off after a

The Bethel Male Quartet has
again proven their worth in rep-resenting
the school. This time Bob
Sandin, Jim Rentz, Don Patet, and
Paul Leafblad took top honors in
the contest held for Male Quartets,
sponsored by the Retail Merchants
of St. Paul. Competing with other
quartets from the St. Paul area,
the "Golden Voices" of Bethel sang
their favorite Negro Spirituals,
"Climbin' up the Mountain", and
"Dry Bones", to win the contest.
Since the judges represented the
University f Minnesota, S t.
Thomas, and Macalester, it proves
that the boys must have given of
their best to receive the honors
that were given to them. As a
reward for their accomplishment
they were presented with credit,
slips from various retail stores,
worth the value in trade. Also they
sang • on the station WMIN with
the National Male Quartet from
New York on Thursday, January
29. It is a great honor for Bethel
to be able to be represented by
such a good quartet, as it has been
an honor for • the fellows to have-won
this widely publicized contest.

Election Year
Dean C. E. Carlson
COUld it be that "leap year" is "election
year" just as a matter of coincidence?
Since Sadie Hawkins seems to have been
older than George Washington, may we not
assume that the fathers who worked on the
Constitution thought it appropriate that
Sadie's year be also election year. After all,
it is the year in which to choose a man.
The 1948 episode of this story is on. From
one viewpoint it is an interesting and a rather
amusing game with some so-willing and some
so-hard-to-get, but in the midst of this comedy
are some serious considerations. The results
will be for "better or for worse," and that in
terms of top-notch values.
James Bryce, the famed nineteenth century
English student of American politics, pointed
out that, "the central problem of civic duty
is the ethical problem." He was optimistic,
"indifference, selfish interests, the excesses
of spirit, will all begin to disappear as civic
life is lifted onto a higher plane, and as the
number of those who, standing on a higher
plane, will apply a strict test to their own con-duct
and to that of their leaders What we
have called the 'better conscience' must be
grafted on to the 'wild stock' of the natural
average man." He points out that there are
times of awakening, "times of refreshing from
the presence of the Lord," in the realm of
civic participation and duty.
Bryce, and other schola'-s of his day, recog-nized
what most twentieth century politicians
seem to ignore, namely, that democracy or any
real civic life requires a spiritual and moral
basis in the people. Our political life is dif-ficult
today because of the lack of that foundat-ion
in our own nation and in other nations.
It is in order the we pray and work for a re-awakening
in these -matters. Without this
the task will be too difficult for any man.
Leap or be Left
My dear and most respected Sir:
I send you this your heart to stir.
Tis you I've chosen first of all
On whom to make my Leap Year call;
I'm giving you the foremost chance,
A home for you I will enhance.
Your heart I want, this is no jest,
I hope you'll grant my fond request.
You send me back without delay
Your answer saying yes or nay.
But if your heart does not incline
In wedlock's bond to join to mine,
Then you must Leap Year's laws obey
And me fifty dollars, or pay
Besides, kind sir, a handsome dress.
I ask no more, nor take no less.
There are few people in school who really
understand the workings for the debate squad
or just what goes on in a debate tournament.
So while imbibing my favorite beverage, called
by some, coffee, I shall attempt to throw some
light on the subject.
Every person in school is eligible to par-ticipate
in the club's activities. As a matter
of fact we are plagued by lack of personnel.
No position is assured by anyone and orginial
selection of teams is made on a basis of in-dividual
ability and the judgment of the coach.
From then, positions depend upon the amount
of, points scored by each team and also by
each individual in the various club activities.
In addition to actual debate there are many
other fields which we enter in the various
tournaments. Some of these are oratory, de-clamation,
extemporaneous speaking, after din-ner
speaking, and news broadcasting.
Now what good is all this going to do you?
Actually it largely depends upon how much
effort and time you can spend on the subject.
But at the very minimum it will give you
opportunity to participate in several tourna-ments
and the trips that go with them, which
are in themselves a lot of fun. Then you get
to meet some of the finest young people in
the entire Northwest. Really, the crowd that
you find around debate tournaments is one
swell gang. In addition to the actual pleasure
involved, forensic competition will actually
benefit you personally. It broadens your mind,
teaches you to think on your feet, improves
your speaking ability no end, throws a new
light on world affairs, and last of all teaches
you to think clearly and respect the other
fellow's opinion. So come one, come all—go to
the nearest debate coach (Mr. S. Schultz) and
get all the particulars.

With due respect to Prof. Engwall, who so
graciously gave me a passing grade last year, I
would like . to pass on this morsel of foolosophy
which I gleaned from a contemporary school
publication :
Two birds were sitting on a pump handle.
One turned to the other and said, "Let's fly
south." "No", said the other, "let's eat first."
They flew to a nearby house and proceeded to
stuff themselves from the kitchen table. They
returned to the pumb handle. Once again the
first bird said, "Let's fly south." "OK," said
the other so they took off, flew ten feet, then
dropped dead. The moral of the story is—never
fly off the handle when you're full of baloney.

But I must have man or money.
So please send me your reply;
I'll be your wife until I die.

Send to me a box of candy,

Send your answer to her address.
If for me there is no hope,
Send to me six yards of rope.

"Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the
Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God
which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth
thee by the way that thou shouldest go." Isaiah
As Christians we need have no fears as we
journey along life's changing way. We are
sure of our leader; He is sure of the way. He
has identified Himself as the Lord, our Re-deemer,
as the Holy One of Israel. He knows
the country through which we journey; He
knows the dangers which could beset us. He
leads us to the still waters by which we may
rest. He knows whether our traveling days
be few or many. We do not know the answers
to the questions of life, but our Leader knows,
and we follow Him.
The journey should be profitable for time
and for eternity. Each new experience, each
turn of the road should open to us rich
truths. The Lord, our God, makes the op-portunities
and the privileges evident. He
patiently teaches us to profit by the lessons
of life even though we may be slow in learn-ing.
At times the road may seem a little narrow,
we cannot see far ahead, the clouds hang low,
there are too many deep valleys, there are
too few mountain-top experiences, and it takes
too much effort to get up the steep mountain
side. We see an interesting looking side path
which looks at if it might lead to a sunny
land of care and pleasure. The Guide knows
all and calls us back with firm but loving
voice. He reminds us that He is the Lord and
it is He who leads us in the way that we
should go. Instead of looking to the side
paths, we fix our eyes upon our Lord, and
resign ourselves to His guidance.
"Lord I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur or repine,
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me."

CAMPUS CAPERS: Overheard two co-eds

they try their luck at a "January cl(e)arence

Dayton's offered an "August Fur Sale."

juvenile court judge in Minneapolis when Bob
Mantzke was hauled before the bar of justice
for a traffic violation recently. They really
raise the teen-agers big, don't they? The

their $25 merchancise certificates were sud-denly
dashed to the ground when Don Patet

Brass in the Ring Clarion Staff vs Faculty
by C. A. Appelquist
In order to understand, to pro-perly
evaluate the military mind
and its functioning, one must con-sider
the undeniable fact that care-er
military men are trained for
only one purpose—war. From the
initial drill-ground to the military
science classroom to the officer's
club to tax-free retirement the
soldier is trained for soldiering,
for organization, for efficiency, for
blind devotion to iron discipline. If
the ambitious embryo brass ever
cherishes any illusions of freedom
of thought or action, he soon must
cast them aside and permit his
mind to be molded into the "Mili-tary
Pattern." With few exceptions
there is no reward in the service
for initiative, for objectivity, or for
free-thinking. Because this disci-pline,
this Pattern, this chain-of
command procedure is the "god"
of the military, I do not believe
that any man who receives his
total education at West Point (or
Annapolis or Virginia Military In-stitute)
and spends a career life-time
in the service can really
KNOW our country. He would be
an exceptionally rare man, indeed,
who with this experience could
actually, in his heart and his mind,
feel the pulse of America. The
American people want a man in
the White House who is fully ac-quainted
with and in sympathy
with the American system of de-mocratic
processes; a man who has
a supreme respect for civil rights
and individual freedom; a man who
knows something of the personal
troubles and aspirations of little
John Q. Public. My contention is
that career military men lack this
proper background.
Last week Dwight Eisenhower
apparently realized (reluctantly?)
"man-in-the-street's" desires was
the impossible cost of the presiden-cy.
The General said: "It is my
that the breach between his ex-perience
and ambition and the
conviction that the necessary sub-ordination
of the military to the
civil power will be best sustained
when lifelong soliders, in the
absence of some obvious and over-riding
reasons, abstain from seek-ing
high political office."
—Wise words from the Brass for
the Brass.
Spanish Club
Spanish Club held its monthly
meeting last Monday evening in
the club room of Edgren Residence.
David Tutt, president of the group,
presided. Chorus singing as Spanol
was enjoyed. Professor Engwall
presented his colored films taken
in and around Mexico City, Mexico.
The Alexis Society will hold a
discussion period Tuesday evening,
February 10, at 8:00 p.m., in the
Seminary chapel. "Concept of Child
Evangelism" is the stated subject
for consideration.
What and Why
In the belief that every good four
year school should have varied
time honored traditions, the CLAR-ION
staff this year has undertaken
the task of presenting the Coffee
Cup Game which we hope will be-come
an annual event in our school
This sports program is designed
to fulfill a two-fold purpose on our
campus. One aim is to provide good
entertainment for our fellow stud-ents,
and the other, which is per-haps
more important, is to promote
a spirit of good fellowship and un-derstanding
between the faculty
and student body.
Whether traditions are created
or "just catch on" without any
planning is a debatable question,
but we belive there must be a
begining somewhere. To this end
we wish to serve our school.

Bethel Takes
8th Conf. Win
On Monday nite of this week the
Indians defeated Dr. Martin Luther
College by a score of 75 to 53. The
Indians had little trouble with the
boys from New Ulm, and Coach
Edwards substituted freely in giv-ing
all his boys a chance to play.
Sandberg and Greenman led the
scoring with 19 and 17 points re-spectively.
The above sketch represents the
Coffee Cup Trophy that will be
presented to the winner of the
First Annual Coffee Cup Game to
be played between Clarion Staff

The trophy, which stands ap-proximately
eighteen inches high,
was designed by Dave Osterberg,
Clarion Sports Editor, and con-structed
by Ralph Jacobson.
Sports Sketch
Our sports personality for this
week is Wayne Peterson. Wayne is
twenty years old and is now a
sophomore in school. Following his
freshman year here in '45, he spent
a year and a half in the army.
Wayne graduated from Braham
High School in Braham, Minnesota.
While there he earned three letters
in basketball, two in football, and
four in baseball. As a freshman,
he captained Bethel's '46 basketball
team to the league championship.
Once again this year Wayne is
back at his old forward position,
where his continual scoring threat
and fine ball handling have been
making him a standout.
Wayne is a member of the Beth-lehem
Chapel in Minneapolis. At
present his plans are to go into
coaching and teaching as his life

Dean Carlson to
Play with Teachers
Tonight Bethel sport fans will be
treated to an evening of unusual
entertainment. Basketball, long the
favorite sport of Bethel College,
will be the feature attraction on
the program.
In the preliminary game the Bet-hel
Squaws, led by high-scoring
Doris Richert, will play the girls'
team of the CLARION.
In the main event Coach Ed-wards
will lead the Faculty team
against the CLARION staff in what
should prove to be a rugged con-test.
Between the halves of the basket-ball/
games table tennis, another
sport that is fast gaining popular-ity
on the campus will be present-ed.
Lewis Schultz, Bob Schwartz,
Johnny Dischinger, a n d Kenny
Greenman will be the contestants
in several exhibition matches.
Plans have been made to install
a public address system and a
record player to add to the en-joyment
of the spectators. Rousing
band music and interviews of fac-ulty
members and students promise
a full evening of fun and laughter.
Indians Win
Two, Lose One
On Friday nite, January 23, the
Indians extended their conference
winning streak by trouncing Beth-any
Junior College 50 to 40 in a
game played at the Bethel gym-
The "B" squad found the range
once again and came up with an
easy 35 to 16 win over the Bethany
"B" team in the preliminary game.
The Indians met and defeated
Austin Junior College 38 to 32 in
a game played at Macalester gym-nasium
on January 26. It marked
the first defeat for Austin and gave
Bethel sole possession of first
place in the conference with seven
victories and no defeats.
In the preliminary game the
Alumni, led by Swanson and Gus-tafson
with ten points each, trim-med
the "B" squad 25 to 20.
The Indians' winning streak was
stopped by the Yellowjackets from
Rochester Junior College in a game
played January 30, at the Macales-ter
gymnasium. Score 32 to 29. It
was just one of those nites for the
Indians when the lid seemed to
be on the basket. This was Bethel's
first conference loss and dropped
them back into a tie for first place
with Austin.

Washington Vet Makes
Good Despite Blindness
A Washington state veteran who
emerged unscratched after three
years of fighting in the Pacific,
only to be blinded in an accident
six months after his discharge, is
determined not to let his handicap
interfere with his plans to become
a lawyer.
Aided by a machine that cuts
recordings of classroom lectures,
he is studying pre-law at Olympic
Junior College i n Bremerton,
Wash., under the Servicemen's
Readjustment Act (G-I Bill).
Ineligible for training under the
Vocational Rehabilitation Act (Pub-lic
Law 16) because his disability
occurred after his discharge, the
veteran-23-year-old Kenneth Elf-brandt—
is taking 21 hours of work
per week at the college, six hours
more than required.
The reason for his heavy sched-ule
is that he hopes to enter the
University o f Washington la w
school in the fall of 1948.

night last week, this man of con-troversy
went knocking on dorm
doors gathering statistics f o r
another big point that he was going
to prove. What his point was and
whether or not he pfoved it isn't
so important, but as to the type of

Grrirr. I took notes all week on
what I was going to write about
this week and DOW I can't find
them. If somorno finds some bits
of paper that have a bunch of
marks on them, that's it. That's
w hat I need for news.
This junk has been carried on
long enough. Just about every
week I happen to glance at Old
man Harps column??? he's tossing
some slam about what I try to do
to fill up space in the paper. You
people better not come to the
Faculty-Clarion basketball game....
Please stay away, will ya? It would
be too bad to have all of you there
when I toss this guy Dave Harps
through the basket.
Overheard at the basketball
game: Eve Johnson : Please run up
the score so my brother will be
able to play. P. S. They did and he
This week is "Be kind to the
dishwashers" week. It has been
suggested that if you just happen
to have some food left over pile
all the food in the teaspoon in-stead
of all over the tray.
Library News: Snooped in the
library today and saw some things
that looked new. A clock, 2 chained
pencils, phonograph records, a
lamp, new book rack, paper rack,
magazine racket, some date due
cards, and a big chart on how to
find a book. Which brings me to
the Joke of the Week: Heard that
our Miss Axeen first wanted to be
a surgeon, but now she is our
librarian instead. When nobody is
looking she sneaks a book off the
shelf and cuts out the appendix.

Gaston County residents are bracing for the threat of wintry precipitation Friday as forecasters predict sleet, freezing rain and snow could fall around midday.
Gaston County residents are bracing for the threat of wintry precipitation Friday as forecasters predict sleet, freezing rain and snow could fall around midday.
The National Weather Service issued a �hazardous weather outlook� report on Wednesday warning of frozen precipitation in numerous counties including Gaston, Cleveland, Lincoln and Mecklenburg counties.
How severe icy conditions could become and what types of precipitation may fall is difficult to predict, said meteorologist Jake Wimberly with the National Weather Service in Greenville, S.C.
With temperatures forecasted in the mid-20s Friday morning and warming up to around 34 degrees, water could freeze on roads.
�Gastonia is forecasted to get anywhere from a trace of ice to a tenth of an inch of ice, which would be enough to cause travel problems,� he said. �The area could see a dusting of snow, less than an inch probably in or around Gastonia. It�s still going to be a very tough call, just exactly how much of the precipitation is going to fall as ice, snow, or freezing rain.�
From his current studies, sleet is forecasted for areas around the city. Wimberly predicts most wintry precipitation will fall between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Friday. The frozen precipitation could change to rain later in the afternoon.
Travel throughout the area on Saturday morning could be cause for concern. Saturday�s weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy and dry, with a high temperature around 40 degrees.
�Anything that does fall as rain may freeze after the fact. There could be black ice on roads that were wet during the day (Friday),� he said. �Travel (on) Saturday morning will be pretty treacherous, I would think, especially for people headed toward the mountains.�
Cities in the area including Gastonia and Shelby could see different types of frozen precipitation Friday. He said it�s difficult to predict what weather conditions Lincoln and Cleveland counties will experience, but an icy mix is possible.
�It�s going to be a pretty unpleasant day, I think, for a lot of people,� he said.

The Aladdin Attack Intelligence Research Center Aladdin Attack Intelligence Research Center has released its Annual Threat Report, a compilation of research and trend analysis surrounding the state of Web security worldwide. The report outlines vulnerabilities, evolving Web applications, and the maturation and adaptations of the business models of eCrime.
In the report, Aladdin lists its Top 3 Predictions for 2009. According to Ian Amit, director of security research at Aladdin, there will be a lot more "good guys" going bad, browsers will compete with operating systems, and the value of your online identity will increase. The top three Aladdin predictions for 2009 are:
- eCrime. The continued global economic crisis, a real-estate market in free fall, and challenging job market combine to give the business of eCrime a boost. In 2008 eCrime developed into a sophisticated business that models a "legitimate" organizational structure and its channels. Aladdin sees eCrime in 2009 thriving, bringing in more than the "classic" technical employees. eCrime will expand its business model and hiring reach to include the unemployed management level and financial industry professionals.
- The browser is your new OS. In conjunction with the maturation of Web 2.0, Aladdin says that we're going to see a substantial change in the online experience as we know it. Google's Chrome is proving that with the right combination of "optimized" Web 2.0 technologies, the browser can evolve into a full-on operating system. With Google's Gears technologies already integrated, Aladdin expects that we'll see an Adobe-Air enabled browser that would offer a better Desktop-Web integration. And in 2009, says Aladdin, watch for more powerful OS browsers from the likes of Microsoft, and be prepared for the security challenges that go along with the continued evolution of the Web.
- Identity theft goes social. With more professionals and businesses using social networking, the "value" of Web identities is soaring. Reconnaissance and business intelligence with tools such as Paterva's Maltego have become all too easy, and the sheer amount of public data on sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Bebo, and MySpace make it easier to impersonate, damage, or misrepresent a personal or business identity on the Web. Aladdin predicts that we will see a significant increase in the amount of Web identity hijacking, and in response, a serious change in the requirements for validating our identities on the Web.

I'm in my second trimester. No matter what I eat, I get heartburn. Is this
normal? If so, what can I do to feel better?
– Cari
Heartburn — which, despite its name, has nothing to do with the heart —
is a common pregnancy complaint.
Many pregnant women experience a burning sensation in the throat and chest when
the stomach contents move back up into the esophagus (the tube that moves food from
the throat to the stomach). This may be because hormones cause the valve
at the entrance to the stomach to relax so that it doesn't close properly, allowing
acidic stomach contents to move upward into the esophagus, a condition known as gastroesophageal
reflux (GER), or acid reflux. It can get worse later in the pregnancy when the growing
uterus presses upward on the stomach.
To help minimize the discomfort of heartburn:

Zie Germans are still hard at work this winter back in zie mother country, as the final production version of the Horex VR6 is coming together. Today, the German company has announced the official performance figures of its new street bike, and the base 1,218cc six-cylinder VR motor comes with 161hp on tap and 100 lbs•ft of peak torque.
Making its peak power at 9,000 rpm, the Horex VR6 also makes most of its torque extremely low in the rev range. With 66 lbs•ft of torque at 2,000 rpm, the German roadster reaches 74 lbs•ft of torque at 3,500rpm, which fits well with the company's hope of making the VR6 easy to ride on city streets.
Perhaps more interesting that the performance figures is the announced constant solid-graphite chain lubrication system. As the name implies, the Horex VR6 will constantly lube its chain, but instead of using oil or wax, as is traditionally used, the German motorcycle company has partnered with specialists at the Schunk Group, who have created a system that constantly coats the chain drive with a thin layer of graphite.
Less messy, and not prone to being flicked off the chain by centrifugal forces, the dry chain lubrication system is an industry first brought to market by Horex, and sounds intriguing on paper. With claims that it increases maintenance intervals over standard chain lubrication systems, this is a feature owners will be particularly interested in seeing reviews of as the VR6 hits dealer floors.

Big Sean to Debut Aura Gold Clothing Line
Big Sean is known for his creative wardrobe just as much as his "Finally Famous" tagline. One thing's for certain, the Detroit emcee never looks like anyone else on the red carpet. Whether it's a studded denim vest or a custom-made leather, Sean never has to worry about anyone else matching his outfit.
Later this week, Big Sean will allow the public to have access to his fashion sense when he unveils his new clothing line, Aura Gold, at the ProjectMVMNT convention in Las Vegas. The G.O.O.D. Music rapper will showcase simple pieces that include select designs of T-shirts, hats, pants, sweatshirts and jackets.
According to HipHopDX.com, the 'Dance' creator announced the line's launch through a press release recently.
"Launching my own label is a dream come true for me," Big Sean said in the statement. "Even though I have a lot to learn about fashion and the industry, I do know what I like and the small details that make something stand out to me. I look forward to evolving the line with more colors, fabrications and offerings to show the other dimensions of my style progression over time."
For a closer look at the newest pieces in Big Sean's Aura Gold line, be sure to cop the upcoming February/March 2013 Style issue of VIBE magazine.
