25 words you're probably pronouncing all wrong
You might be going into this thinking there's no way you'll be fooled by the words on this list. You're a pronunciation pro! You know "nuclear" isn't pronounced how George W. Bush said it in 2001. You know there's no "x" in "espresso." And you know you can say "either" either way and it'd still be correct.
But bid your confidence goodbye, because the words on this list might have you eating your words. Pronunciation varies widely in American English, and you might be surprised to hear that the dictionary offers more than one correct way to say some of your favorite words.
Of course, there are reasons why certain pronunciations might be preferred over others - sometimes because they will be more readily understood, sometimes because they better follow the spelling of the word, and sometimes because they better reflect the word's history or its language of origin. All this variation means that, no matter how much you think you know, someone somewhere thinks you're saying these words all wrong.istockphoto.com
There is no asterisk at the end of this rule, and there is no X at the end of "asterisk." You should end your pronunciation of this word on the K, like in the word "risk." K?istockphoto.com
Americans can't make bruschetta as good as Italians can, and they can't pronounce the word for it as well, either. If you want to sound authentic, "bruschetta" is pronounced "broo-sket-ah." Preferably with a rolled R and a "buon appetito!" to follow.istockphoto.com
You can blame sports for this one if you want. The Boston Celtics pronounce Celtics as "sell-ticks," but Irishmen would think you were trying to pawn off parasites. While this pronunciation is considered acceptable in U.S. English, the preferred way to say this ethnonym is "kell-tick."istockphoto.com
The "th" doesn't have to be silent! Stop being lazy and pronounce this word "clothes," not "close," and there won't be as much confusion. Case clothesed.istockphoto.com
It might feel more comfortable to pronounce this word "cumf-ter-bull," but why not let yourself relax a little bit and just sink into each letter and syllable of the word? Try pronouncing it "come-fer-tuh-bull." It's tough to say at first, but give it a little practice and it'll feel cozy in no time.istockphoto.com
You probably pronounce this delectable French treat as "crayp," but the street food actually goes by another name. The word and the food are both French - and so, as any Frenchman will sneer at you, it's better to pronounce it "crep." The E sounds as flat as the pancakes themselves.istockphoto.com
This one's divisive, and it's all in the emphasis. Most people say this word "ee-lek-tor-al." Emphasis on the "tor." But that's actually incorrect. The preferred pronunciation is "ee-lek-tor-al." But if that sounds too awkward to you, you can elect to say it however you want, because both pronunciations are so widespread that few people will even notice.istockphoto.com
Err on the side of caution when trying to pronounce this word. The vast majority of people say it such that it rhymes with "hair" - in other words, exactly like "air." But someone who pronounces it "ur" (so that it rhymes with "her") has not erred. This too is an acceptable pronunciation.istockphoto.com
Speaking English is really not your forte, huh? The term "forte" in music is pronounced "four-tay" because it's from Italian, but in the phrase above, it should technically just be pronounced "fort." That's because this sense of the word comes from a fencing term for the sturdiest part of a sword, and our language borrowed the word from Middle French. Both senses are ultimately based on a Latin word that means "strong," so whether it's your forte or your fort, you'll probably come off looking pretty capable.istockphoto.com
Prepare to be annoyed. Like many of the greatest food debates of our generation, the pronunciation of "hummus" never fails to ruffle feathers. That's because this delicious Mediterranean dip made of chickpeas, oil, tahini, and spices is a popular food in such a wide range of countries that the exact pronunciation varies based on language and dialect. You may be surprised to learn that many pronounce it more like "hoo-mus" - often with a throaty H sound at the beginning - rather that "hum-us," which is the most common way to say it in the US. Take your time digesting that.istockphoto.com
You might pronounce this "lar-vay." How you think of the word for baby bugs probably depends on the way your science teacher said it, but the only two pronunciations listed by Merriam-Webster are "lar-vee" and "larv-eye."istockphoto.com
If you're skipping the A in "liable," you're liable to be corrected. Skipping the A makes it sound exactly like "libel," which is a different word with a different meaning. Think about how you say "liability," which you'd correctly pronounce as though it meant "the ability to lie."istockphoto.com
Your pronunciation of mauve may be a little off-color. Because the word comes from French, you can get away with switching out the more common "mawve" for the fancy, continental-sounding "mohve," which rhymes with trove. Or drove, grove, or stove.istockphoto.com
There's no sneaking around this one. The I is before the V, not after. It just makes more sense to pronounce it how it's spelled - "mis-cheh-vus," not "mis-chee-vee-us."istockphoto.com
You'll often run into folks who pronounce this "off-ten," but you'll also often hear "off-en," which isn't just a lazy byproduct of saying this word too often. The T is actually more often silent, according to Merriam-Webster.istockphoto.com
Prescribe yourself a pronunciation lesson, because it might help you to better understand this word. While most people pronounce prescription as "pur-scrip-shun," the correct pronunciation is "pre-scrip-shun." The "pre" and "script" are actually clues to the word's meaning - you probably can't pick up your prescription if your doctor didn't write it first.istockphoto.com
Oh, the irony! Your pronunciation of "pronunciation" is all kinds of messed up. You pronounce pronunciation "pro-nun-see-ay-shun," not "pro-now-n-see-ay-shun."istockphoto.com
You're probably pronouncing this quasi-correctly, because as with many words that originally come from Latin, the pronunciation in English can be all over the map. Pronunciations listed in the dictionary include "kwayz-eye," "kwa-zee" and seemingly everything other variation between.istockphoto.com
Recondite actually has quite the recondite pronunciation. Recondite, which means "difficult for someone of ordinary understanding or knowledge to comprehend," is pronounced either "rek-un-dyte" or "ri-kon-dyte."istockphoto.com
Let's let the words of Theodore Geisel's friend Alexander Laing explain this one: "You're wrong as the deuce/And you shouldn't rejoice/If you're calling him Seuss/He pronounces it Soice." Seuss was actually the famous author's middle name and his mother's maiden name, and the family pronounced it just as Laing's poem describes. Professionally speaking, however, Dr. Seuss was fully comfortable with the fact that people thought his nom de plume rhymed with "Mother Goose."istockphoto.com
No, this word is not spelled "sure, Bert." Most people pronounce it that way, though, and there's no reason we should be mistreating this sweet treat. "Sherbet" is pronounced "shur-bit." Not "shur-bay." "Shur-bit." Like the nonsensical phrase "sure bit," it rhymes with "curb it."istockphoto.com
Prepare to have your mind blown. "Spherical" doesn't have to sound like "sphere" at the beginning. A less common but also acceptable pronunciation is "sfer-i-kuhl."istockphoto.com
Supposedly there are people who pronounce "supposedly" as "supposably" - which is actually a totally different word. It's supposable that they're using "supposably" in its correct context, in which it is a synonym of "conceivably." But they're probably not.istockphoto.com
You might think this old word is pronounced "vikt-chew-uhlz," but you'd be wrong. Meaning "supplies of food," victuals is pronounced "vit-uhlz" - just as in the synonymous word "vittles." Victuals, which could include anything from dozens of eggs to baskets of bread, rhymes with riddles.istockphoto.com
Based on the spelling, you might think it's pronounced "zoo-loh-gee, and based on the fact that we all know that we can study animals in a zoo, you might think it's "zoo-ah-loh-gee." But the preferred pronunciation is "zoh-ah-loh-gee" because of the Greek roots the word is built from. Another wild word fact: Oology is also four syllable word - "oh-ah-loh-gee" - and it refers to the study of birds. Now study these baby birdies and enjoy the quasi-cute photos of them!

Multicore Testing Requires Real Parallelism to Happen
Testing an application prepared to run concurrent code can become a nightmare for old-fashioned testing platforms. Multicore testing requires new techniques, new expertise and new hardware. For example, you cannot guarantee a parallelized application's accuracy testing it on computers with single core microprocessors.I'm going to borrow a sentence from Bram Stoker's "Dracula"
"We learn from failure, not from success!"
One of the most frustrating experiences with multicore programming could be a parallelized application generating unexpected random problems. However, if this application had successfully passed the testing process, it would be even a more annoying situation. Why could this happen? Because testing techniques also have to Go Parallel.
Usually, the best computers (workstations or servers) are dedicated to run the final version of the applications. Nowadays, there is a great probability of having at least four or more logical processing cores in a server (four hardware threads).
You can parallelize an existing algorithm and you can debug it using a dual-core CPU (two logical processing cores, two hardware threads). Then, an extensive testing process could be performed on many different dual-core computers (again, two logical processing cores, two hardware threads). The application could offer accurate results, it could work as expected. However, when running the application on the server, something could go wrong. A hidden bug could appear, a bug generated by an unexplored concurrency.
Two hardware threads do not guarantee real concurrency all the time the algorithm is scheduled to run in parallel. The great problem is the operating system, the scheduler, the kernel and all the other processes and software threads that are competing for processing time. They can avoid some real concurrency to happen because two threads are not always running in parallel. This situation could solve some concurrency bugs. It's a question of time. Some instructions are not running on parallel, they are not running at the same time because there are other threads stealing processing time.
However, when you move to the parallel processing power offered by the server, the additional hardware threads (logical cores) offered by this computer would enable the software threads to run in parallel. Hence, real concurrency will happen. Pure concurrency bugs will appear because the instructions that produce the problem will run exactly at the same time.
How can you detect these pure concurrency bugs? You have to use the appropriate hardware to let real parallelism happen. You cannot test a parallelized algorithm running on single core microprocessors. You need more logical cores, more hardware threads. You have to use the adequate hardware according to the kind of parallelization you're willing to create. It doesn't mean that you need 256 logical cores to develop an application that could be capable of scaling to this number of cores. However, it means that sometimes, two logical cores aren't enough.
Once you face this kind of horrible and difficult to detect bugs, you'll learn to create better parallelized algorithms. You'll learn many things from failure. The recently launched Intel® Parallel Studio offers an excellent toolbox to detect these bugs. It is available for C/C++ programming languages.
Most modern IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) are adding features to help the developers to detect and solve these bugs. However, I do believe Intel® Parallel Studio is the most complete toolbox. I'd love to see versions for .Net and the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) in the future.
Don't forget to check your testing platforms and environments before deploying the final version of a parallelized application. Doing so, you'll avoid terrifying concurrency nightmares.

Three hundred bucks, at least. That's hefty for some gamers, who are waiting (and hoping) that Nintendo will slash the Wii U's price. The console, released last fall in North America, isn't quite flying off the shelves like the Wii did. A price cut might be just what the doctor ordered.
Don't hold your breath, because that isn't want you'll be getting anytime soon. Rats!
In a recent investor's meeting, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said after taking into account how much it costs to make and sell each Wii U, Nintendo is already offering it a very competitive price.
Thus, Iwata said, "We don't have plans for a price cut option." And the Wii U's component parts inevitably become cheaper and cheaper, there will be a greater possibility of a price cut.

Tea Temptress necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 65 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
Tea Temptress
Frustrated with the lack of a quality tea website, where I could purchase my tea and accessories all from one store, I decided to start my own site. Social media is going to get my word out, and from there I'll crush any competition.
It's time for a tea revolution. It's not just granny's drink any longer.
I love tea, it's my morning wake up, and evening settle down.
I want potential clients to automatically associate the Tea Temptress with tea, accessories, tea books, gifts, and gift cards. I want them to regularly check for our daily updated trivia, quotes, recipes, music suggestions and wittisisms. We will only carry top quality tea products that people will frequently return to purchase.
The colors of the Tea Temptress logo should be black, a fairly bright green and complimentary purple.
A woman's facial profile done in a simple single sketched stroke line, blowing on a cup of tea with the words 'Tea Temptress' .
We want the logo to be classy and bold. Border on the whimsical and/or fanciful, even elegant side. Not just the dull stock tea cup outline.
Our clients are coming to an upscale website where good taste and quality matter.
Will consider steam, tea pots and tea leaves as well.
Have fun, because that is our intention. If you're having fun, you'll never have to work.
The logo will go on my website and business cards. It needs to be memorable.

Mission awareness trip to Venezuela
May 9-16, 2009
We can be very proud of the CFCA families and of the staff. When I see how much the families are anxious to see us, to give us a hug, to ask for a blessing for their children, to so generously share with us the fruits of their hard work, I am reminded of the community of the early Christians in the Acts of the Apostles.
Motherís Day in Venezuela
Sunday morning found us at breakfast at the corner panaderia (bakery) in the town of Catia La Mar. CFCA-Venezuela Project Coordinator Sunilde Perez and staff member Yanin Castillo shepherded us well, and made sure we had a chance to get to know the members of our group.
Isabel Alvarez gave her customary fine introduction to Venezuela. Isa speaks with the passion of a well-educated yet ìstill poor Venezuelanîóher auto-description. She speaks of the pros and cons of the current government. One of the challenges she highlights is the strong political and social division within the country.
About the same time Isabel was speaking to our group, President Hugo Chavez made two statements on his weekly TV broadcast. The first is a warning to opposing TV stations and media who ìincite people to war.î They are in danger of being closed down and their broadcast license revoked. The second warning is to certain large land holders in the sugar cane area. He believes that they acquired titles to their land illegally. Therefore, these properties may be subject to nationalization. I cannot help but think of the effects of a similar nationalization program a few years ago in Zimbabwe.
All children, aging accounted for and visited
Iím happy to say that all the sponsors on this trip have been able to visit the families of their sponsored children and aging. They have come to know the staff, and they have learned the context in which their families live. Sponsors have expressed that they sense and admire the basic joy of the families, as well as the loving dedication of the staff.
Symbolic walk
An hour and a half from Barquisimeto, we have 111 children sponsored and two CFCA scholars. The families in this subproject are very united and very dynamic.
Our final day in Barquisimeto began with a symbolic walk, prepared, animated and led by staff member Laura Palma. We sang as we walked. At intermittent stops, sponsors were invited to share their thoughts about the whole mission awareness trip experience. Over and over, I heard the words ìlife changingî.
El Rodeo
Later in the morning, we headed out to the rural area of El Rodeo. Itís always a treat to see the unity of these families.
The local coordinator, Maria Mejias, is a loving and capable dynamo, as she travels about the countryside on her vintage bicycle. She and the CFCA staff have motivated and helped 18 mothers to begin raising meat chickens as a livelihood project. Right now they have over 3000 on hand and growing. Among other outlets, these enterprising mothers sell their product to another subproject which offers a nutritious lunch every day to more than 300 sponsored students at Fe y Alegria School (Faith and Happiness). In her excitement of having the sponsors in El Rodeo, Maria got her finger smashed in the door of a pickup. I think sheíll soon forget the pain in the excitement of organizing dances and games and serving a delicious meal of chivo (goat) for this close, CFCA community.
CFCA work groups
The Barquisimeto project has implemented nine commissions with representatives from all subprojects to oversee the delivery of benefits and services to sponsored members. These groups are born from the needs of our sponsored familiesóexpressed in reunions with parents of sponsored children and staff. They cover the following themes: education, nutrition, health, correspondence, finance, fundraising, recreation, sports and culture. I am so very pleased and impressed that mothers of sponsored children are confidently giving the presentations to sponsors on mission awareness trips.
A real CFCA fiesta
The age span was from 99 years to newborn. Mothers, dads, youth, children and staff were involved in the many activities: Holy Mass with special commemoration of the fiftieth wedding anniversary of sponsors Lois and Walt Silvernale, cooking and organizing a nice hot lunch for hundreds, a theatrical production on the history of CFCA, folk dances and songs and visits to families.
May our loving God continue to bless us all in the great adventure of CFCA. Thank you for traveling with us in solidarity and prayer.

Neon vegetable dreams
Remember Rocktober? Now it's Fantasy February in the garden. Was I kvetching about winter and cold? Let me take it all back. It's a wonderful time. You get to huddle inside with a pile of seed magazines or an internet connection and do no work and produce no sweat, nor must you commit to any huge expenses of time, energy or money. Not quite yet, at least!
So I'm dreaming of a potager and drooling over pictures of shrieking neon Swiss chard. A potager is a French kitchen garden, traditionally set out in square raised beds in groups of four with access on all four sides. Then you typically put some garden bling, like a birdbath or obelisk, at the intersection of the crossing paths, and play all sorts of color-matching tic-tac-toe games with what you plant. The four-square design lets you play color games with square-foot gardening – for example, planting red lettuce in exactly the same square foot across the aisle from another square foot of red lettuce. Or alternate so that red-green-red faces green-red-green. The main idea is to grow vegetables not just to eat, but to delight the eye. It's an English cottage garden, but built of edibles instead of flowers. And you put it right out back of the kitchen door. Easy pickin's, as they say.
Now wouldn't these babies just wake your eyeballs up in the morning when you went out to water or weed? This is Five-Color Silverbeet Swiss Chard, from Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa (seedsavers.org)
Of course, said fantasy potager will require weeks of work to build, buying new gravel, raised-bed corner braces, ripping out the old weed-ridden gravel bed back to the defunct and useless weed barrier, and other major reworkings of the corner into which I hope to tuck it into. And of course, it will involve suffering through the hope/worry cycle about whether that corner – surrounded by fence on two sides and a shed on the other, but utterly open to the south, will get enough light to grow anything.
Practicality be damned. Odd-colored veggies are a huge motivator for me. I'm thinking about some Blacktail Mountain melons, a variety developed in Idaho that's small, sweet, and has eggplant-colored skin. (It's also said to shrug off our chilly spring nights.) And striped eggplant and scarlet carrots and lemon-yellow round cukes. Because with limited space, if a garden's not going to indulge your sense of the whimsical and bizarre, why have it? Perhaps a jalapeno named "False Alarm" that I read about years ago — because it's red and mild and a little bit sweet. Anything that toys with expectations, pops the eye, adapts to our climate and still tastes good, that's for me — like maybe this knockout Listada de Gandia Eggplant, also from Seed Savers, who were kind enough to share their photos:
And perhaps a tidy little round zucchini. Yes, I know, "little zucchini" – what an oxymoron! I grew the regular kind for the first time in years last summer, and produced my weight and possibly over it in squash. I would blink, and I'd have a 15-pounder lying there innocently in the shade of the enormous stickery leaves. "Who, me? I didn't balloon to the size of a Volkswagen while you weren't looking," they seemed to say. "My growth rate is perfectly normal."
Last September at the farmer's market, in a moment of supreme denial that back home in the garden lurked five monster alien squash planning world domination, I became charmed by a round, pale green little zuke. Bought it and took it on a camping trip. Fried it up with a poblano and some chicken-apple sausage and then melted some Windsor Dairy cheese over it. It was a mellow, sweet little squash, though I've since found that it was outsize for its variety (supposedly you shouldn't let them get bigger than a baseball), so it shouldn't have been quite that yummy. Maybe it was the fresh air of Mesa Verde and the fact that I'd driven all the previous day and had decided to have a slow morning and make myself a big ol' hearty breakfast. But it was absolutely the best breakfast of the trip – and possibly of that year.
The name of this non-intimidating squash that has captured my soul and my palatte? Rond de Nice, available, among other sources, from Vermont Bean Seed Co. (vermontbean.com). A sweet round little name. A nice, humble little veggie from Nice.

Hello All,
Just introducing myself here on the forum. I've been looking for a good Java forum to join and this one has looked the most promising so here I am.
I've been programming for the last 6 years. I started teaching myself C/C++ then I moved on to Java. I've also picked up some x86 Assembly and Python over the years. I love programming and do it regularly as a hobby as well as doing some side work in computer repair (hard & soft-ware). I love not only programming but also building and fixing computers and have accumulated quite a collection of them over the years.
I'm currently a physics student at a leading university here in the US. I've taken a few Computer Science classes over the past couple years - which were very informative from a theory perspective - but I enjoy solving programming problems from my own practical approach to the subject.
My favorite area in the computer and programming field centers on security. I enjoy hacking (though not illegal hacking) as well as the area of cryptography. I hope that one day I may find myself working for a computer security firm doing things such as penetration testing and security auditing.
I hope that I can help many people here on the forum and that on the occaisions when I find myself stuck with a Java task, that others can do the same for myself.
I hope to meet and help a lot of you and hope you guys can help me as well!

U.S. Women's Update - Feb. 11
Bill Kauffman
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Feb. 11, 2010) – The current U.S. Women's National Team Weekly update released on Feb. 11 includes briefs on U.S. players competing overseas, player information, Volley-Tweets, trivia questions and much more.
For the complete PDF version including a complete list of players training at the team's facility at American Sports Centers in Anaheim, the U.S. international transfer list, 2009 season stats and other fan interaction sections, click here.
TRIVIA QUESTIONS: 1. Who was Karch Kiraly's beach partner when he won the 1996 Olympic Games beach volleyball gold medal? 2. Which school is sending the most athletes to the U.S. Women's National Team Open Tryouts? 3. Which U.S. Women's National Team player holds citizenship with three countries? Answers can be found on page four in the full PDF version (click here) of the current U.S. Women's National Team Weekly update.
COLLEGE COACH DAY IN ANAHEIM: The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team coaching staff has initiated a new program called Coaching Outreach Program (COP) to promote the exchange of coaching ideas between the U.S. Women's National Team and college community. The U.S. Women's National Team coaching staff of head coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand), assistant coach Karch Kiraly (San Clemente, Calif.) and assistant coach/technical coordinator Jamie Morrison (Dana Point, Calif.) developed the foundation of the COP program last summer with several goals in mind. The intentions of the program are three-fold: 1. Develop professionally as a group; 2. Build bridges and improve lines of communication between the U.S. National Team staff and the college coaching community; and 3. Catalyze discussion about best practices in teaching and learning. The first COP session, with 20 coaches in attendance, was held Feb. 9-10 at the USA National Team Center located inside the American Sports Centers in Anaheim, Calif. The second session will take place Feb. 15-16 with an additional 10 coaches participating in the COP program. For more information on the COP program, click here.
U.S. WOMEN PART OF MONTREUX VOLLEY MASTERS: The U.S. Women's National Team will participate in the 26th Montreux Volley Masters, which will take place June 8-13 in Montreux, Switzerland. Team USA is part of Group A with Russia, Japan and Germany. Group B includes China, Cuba, Netherlands and Poland. The U.S. will face Japan on June 8, Germany on June 9 and Russia on June 11. Pool cross-over matches take place on June 12, while the medal matches take place on June 13.
UPDATE TO SECOND TRAINING SESSION ROSTER: A total of 16 players are currently training with the U.S. Women's National Team during its second winter training block that ends April 9. The team training sessions, held at the American Sports Centers in Anaheim, Calif., are open to the public. Training times are generally Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., while Fridays often vary on times. Middle blockers include Tracy Stalls (Denver, Colo.), Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), Alexis Crimes (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.), Cheryl Weaver (Washington, D.C.), Lauren Paolini (Ann Arbor, Mich.), Mekana Barnes (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) and Brittnee Cooper (Houston). Outside hitters/opposite include Heather Hughes (Fallbrook, Calif.), Angie Pressey (Lake Mary, Fla.), Katie Wilkins Kimmich (Lakeside, Calif.), Brittany Moore (Orange, Calif.) and Jill Collymore (Bellevue, Wash.). The setters training include Bryn Kehoe (North Bend, Ohio) and Nicole Vargas (Seal Beach, Calif.). The libero position has Jessica Fine (Tarzana, Calif.) and Tamari Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii) training with the U.S. Women's National Team. Christa Harmotto (Aliquippa, Pa.), who played for Evergrande in the Chinese professional league, will resume training in Anaheim on Feb. 15. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.), Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) and Ellen Herman (Toledo, Ohio), who were part of the U.S. trip to China at the beginning of February, have return to Penn State and Ohio University to continue their educations. Some players could leave for pro opportunities or other circumstances, while the training group could expand at the end February following the U.S. Women's National Team Open Tryouts set for Feb. 19-21 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
NATIONAL TEAM OPEN TRYOUTS ROSTER: USA Volleyball will hold its largest-ever single tryout for the U.S. Women's National Team held Feb. 19-21 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. The Open Tryout has 47 middle blockers, 42 outside hitters, 41 liberos, 30 setters and 15 opposites for a total of 175 athletes participating. A total of 80 colleges are represented among the tryout participants. Hugh McCutcheon, the U.S. Women's National Team head coach, will lead the evaluation process for the tryout. Karch Kiraly (U.S. Women's National Team) and Jamie Morrison (U.S. Women's National Team) will also take part in the player evaluations. As part of the tryout, athletes will compete for spots on the U.S. Women's Volleyball National Team program and the U.S. Women's Senior A2 teams. The U.S. Women's National Team program is open to athletes who have concluded their college eligibility and who wish to train full-time. This program could begin as early as February 2010, or when an athlete's scholastic or professional club season has concluded. Athletes who will have remaining collegiate eligibility may still participate in the program with participation beginning May 2010 or when their scholastic calendar ends. Athletes in college with collegiate eligibility remaining for the 2010 season and not selected to the USA Women's National Team may be invited to participate in the USA Senior A2 Team. This program is tentatively scheduled to take place in Phoenix from May 24 through June 2. A projected 24 athletes will be invited to participate in the program, which will include training and competition in the 2010 USA Adult Open Championships in the Open Division from May 29-June 1. USA Volleyball considers the event as the National Championship for the sport of volleyball in the United States.

Alleged teen robbers shot by Detroit utility worker remain jailed on charges
Detroit teens accused of armed robbery, 1 will get competency exam as they remain jailed
DETROIT – They are out of the hospital and now in court.
Nearly two weeks after being shot by a Detroit utility worker, 17-year-old Niko Brown and his brother, 16-year-old Devontay Brown, stood before a judge Monday on charges of armed robbery and possession of a firearm. Wayne County prosecutors are calling it a case of self defense.
Read more: City worker is latest to shoot robbers
Two Detroit public Lighting Workers were fixing a pole on the city's west side during the evening when they were allegedly robbed by the teens.
"These defendants attempted to rob these individuals, that they robbed a second time. Mr. Niko Brown is alleged to have put a gun to an individual's head multiple times. The complainant was threatened with his life," said the prosecutor.
Defense attorney Christina McPhail says this story doesn't add up.
"This is a serious armed robbery charge involving an allegation that my client came back, essentially, and robbed people twice. That essentially doesn't make sense," said McPhail.
The teens' mother, Selena Mitchel, also says this doesn't add up. She accuses the worker of using excessive force.
"I think that is was not a fair thing because my son was shot eight times. That man, he stood over my son and shot him until he let all of his bullets off on my son," she said.
Mitchel's son allegedly suffers from a psychological disorder.
The defense wanted bond lowered for the two teens, but for now they will remain behind bars. Their mother is pointing blame.
"Because they are city of Detroit workers, they don't care. And I blame the government, because the government shouldn't allow everybody to have guns," Mitchel said.
The utility worker has not been charged in the case. He was in court Monday, too.
Niko Brown will undergo a competency review before the next court hearing.
If convicted, the brothers could face years behind bars.

It's fair to say that any record containing songs with titles like 'Transcendent Blue', 'While You're Sleeping I'm Dreaming' and 'Heavenly Bodies' will immediately be painted into the shoegaze corner, regardless of what it sounds like. And in the case of Tender New Signs, the long-awaited second album from San Francisco's Tamaryn, such perceptions would be spot on. However, such genre recognition shouldn't be seen as dismissive. Instead, the duo have combined the knowledge and expertise garnered from their initial forays into songwriting with the obvious influences responsible for setting them on such a path in the first place to create an album that has more in common with the soothing atmospherics of Beach House than the all out assault of A Place To Bury Strangers.
Having initially got together with multi-instrumentalist and producer Rex John Shelverton in 2009, New Zealand born singer/songwriter Tamaryn has steadily honed her craft via a series of low budget, limited edition releases culminating in 2010's first long player The Waves. While hinting at the future possibilities for Tamaryn, it didn't quite fulfil the early promise set out by debut EP Led Astray, Washed Ashore. Nevertheless, having retreated to the drawing board for a good long while, it's clear to see Tender New Signs as being the result of a long, finely tuned and occasionally arduous process. Sure, comparisons with the likes of Slowdive, Cocteau Twins and The Cure remain; it would be difficult to envisage them not doing just by genre association alone. What is most striking about Tender New Signs though is that Tamaryn have placed their distinctive mark across the nine individual pieces that make up the album, in particular the seductive tones associated with Tamaryn's vocal.
Whether it be the quaint elegance and flowing, reverb heavy guitars of kaleidoscopic opener 'I'm Gone' or claustrophobic haze of album standout 'Heavenly Bodies', there's little here that disappoints. In fact, one of the main ingredients that makes Tamaryn such a special proposition is the way she uses her voice as an instrument rather than oratory mouthpiece. The majority of the lyrics here are inaudible, blending in with Shelverton's ethereal orchestrations in such a way that it makes no difference whether Tamaryn is singing about the weather or the price of milk down her local convenience store.
Veering in mood with consummate ease, the otherworldly strains of 'Prizma' sounding deceptively anthemic compared to the stripped down likes of 'Transcendent Blue', which involves little more than Tamaryn and a semi-acoustic guitar not in sync with the dense layered effects punctuating most of Tender New Signs. By the time 'Violet's In A Pool' brings the album to its natural conclusion, all repetitive loops via a haunting melody that could spawn its own sub-genre 'doomgaze', there's a tentative urge to return to the start almost immediately and repeat the listening process once more. And if there's any greater recommendation for giving Tender New Signs a spin then please, be my guest...

Sell, who normally was stationed at Camp Pendleton with 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, was at Twentynine Palms to support the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment during its rotation through the month-long Integrated Training Exercise. Marine battalions preparing to deploy train with infantry, armored vehicles, aircraft and live ammunition during ITX.
The cause of the incident is under investigation.
Sell was the second Marine killed this year at Twentynine Palms during the combat exercise that replaced Enhanced Mojave Viper. On March 11, Pvt. First Class Casey J. Holmes, 20, of Chico, died in a bulldozer accident.
The assault vehicles, called AmTracs or tracks, are 30-ton seafaring tanks used to transport Marines from ship to shore.
In January 2011, a Marine instructor for the amphibious assault vehicles was trapped and drowned when one sank in the Del Mar boat basin at Camp Pendleton.
Marine officials concluded that the death of Sgt. Wesley J. Rice, 27, of San Antonio, was caused by a mechanical failure on the vehicle, nonstandard training and operating procedures, and a lack of sufficient oversight within the Assault Amphibian Schools Battalion at Camp Pendleton.
The commanding officer of the school and seven other Marines were relieved of duty.
The current model of amphibious troop transport, the AAV-7A1, has been in service since 1972. The Defense Department spent $3 billion on a replacement called the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle before the program was canceled in 2011 because of cost overruns and federal budget cuts.
The Corps planned to refurbish the amphibious vehicles while a cheaper replacement was developed. A request for proposals for the "Amphibious Combat Vehicle" will be issued in 2014, Gen. James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, told reporters June 26.
Sell enlisted in the Marines in 2010 and served one tour to Afghanistan. He is survived by his parents, Randy and Kathy, and brothers Jeff and Beau Macy.
His cousin Colleen from Carlsbad told CBSLA.com: "Nick was a selfless and loving person. Everyone called him brother. He was always volunteering to help with anything or be there for anyone."
An aunt, Becky Sell Carreon Brennan, posted on the Hi-Desert Star Facebook page: "He was just a kid who grew up in southern Oregon, enjoying life with his parents, older brother and half-brother, many, many friends, and he was just starting to figure out life."
Sell's military awards include the Afghanistan Campaign Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. He also was an Eagle Scout.

"I don't think I've seen images more beautiful and affecting for a long time." This is what Sam Leith said in an amazing article talking about the photographs beamed back from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Satellite. This article published on Sunday 21st March in the Guardian is well worth a read and the images are something quite unexplainable.
I have never been one to get overexcited about space; in fact I have always felt that the Moon Landings are somewhat of a hoax, but seeing these photographs of Mars, something changed. I have been completely moved by these images and would say that they are truly sublime. They make you see in a new way, a place where we are not so important, but are at the mercy of these great natural forces.

WALTHAM, Mass. -- The Brandeis men's basketball team opened the second half on a 16-5 run to turn an early three-point deficit into a 10-point advantage as the Judges defeated visiting New York University, 65-59, in the University Athletic Association (UAA) opener for both teams.
With the win, Brandeis improves to 10-2, 1-0 in the UAA with their third-straight win, while the Violets see a three-game winning streak of their own halted as they fall to 9-2, 0-1 UAA.
Both teams had three players scored in double figures. For Brandeis, junior guard Gabriel Moton (St. Petersburg, Fla./St. Petersburg) led all scorers with 19 points. He overcame a sluggish 3-for-12 performance from the field by hitting 2-of-4 from 3-point range and connecting on 11-of-11 from the line, the second-best performance in the UAA this season to date. Moton also had a game-high four assists.
Junior Alex Stoyle (Goffstown, N.H./Tilton School) added 16 points, a career-high, with 14 coming in the second half, when he was perfect, hitting all five of his attempts from the field, including all three from beyond the arc. Stoyle also led the Judges with six rebounds. Junior guard Derek Retos (No. Attleboro, Mass./Brimmer and May School) added 10 points off the bench, outscoring the NYU reserves all by himself. Brandeis owned a 19-7 edge in points off the bench. They also outshot the Violets, 46.7 percent (21-45) to 41.7 percent (20-48), but increased the advantage by hitting 55.6 percent in the second half (10-18).
NYU was led by senior center Devin Karch (Bayville, N.Y./Locust Valley), who had 16 points and seven rebounds, both team highs. Karch hit 7-of-12 from the field and both of his free-throw attempts. Junior guard Ryan Tana (Belmont, Calif./Junipero Serra) and senior Carl Yaffe (Bethesda, Md./Walter Johnson) had 13 points each, while senior Kyle Stockmal (Watertown, Mass./Watertown) had seven points and a team-high three assists in his final game before his hometown crowd. Twin brother Cory had five points off the bench for the Violets.
NYU led by as many as 10 points in the first half, scoring eight unanswered points on a traditional three-point play on a Yaffe dunk, a Kyle Stockmal trifecta, followed by two free throws that gave the visitors a 14-6 lead less than eight minutes in. Two Cory Stockmal back-door lay-ups made it 18-8 with 9:58 to go in the first half.
Brandeis answered with the game's next nine points, kicking off the run with a 3-pointer by Retos. After junior center Youri Dascy (Fall River, Mass./St. Andrews School, R.I.) cut the deficit to one at 18-17 on nice feed from senior Anthony Trapasso (Sterling, Mass./St Johns Prep). Karch answered with a nice move underneath, but a 16-foot jumper by sophomore Ishmael Kalilou (Windsor, Conn./Taft School) and a turn-around bucket in the paint by Dascy put the lead back in Brandeis's hands, 21-20.
It didn't last for long, as Yaffe answered with a 3-pointer and a jumper that made it 25-21 in favor of the visitors. A late Karch lay-up on an assist from Kyle Stockmal should have made it a four-point lead for NYU headed into the locker room, but Moton got fouled on his half-court heave at the buzzer. He hit all three shots with no one on the lane to cut the lead to 28-27 at the break. Yaffe, Dascy and Moton all had eight points in the first half.
In the second, the teams had seven empty possessions between them before Karch's put-back with 17:17 on the clock made it a 30-27 lead for NYU. Stoyle answered with his first 3-pointer of the game to knot the contest, kicking off a stretch in which the Judges hit six of eight shots from the floor. Yaffe went back door to give the visitors a temporary two-point lead, but Brandeis scored 13 of the next 14 points to take the lead for good.
Stoyle tied it up with a lay-up and gave the Judges the lead for good from beyond the arc at the top of the key with 14:05 to go. A thunderous dunk from senior Wouter van der Eng (Alphen aun der rijn, The Netherlands/ Kimball Union Acad.) and a Moton trifecta pushed the lead to eight. After an NYU foul shot, Retos answered with a long trey that made it a 10-point game, 43-33, with 11:49 left. While the Violets were able to get within four points on a Karch lay-up about 90 seconds later, the visitors were never able to get within two possessions the rest of the way.
Brandeis returns to action on Jan. 11, when the Judges take on Carnegie Mellon at 8 p.m. in another UAA contest. NYU has a non-conference matchup with Hunter College on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

At first glance, Brazil seems perfectly positioned to be a leading innovator in an increasingly connected and collaborative world.
Brazilians, for example, set great store by the relationship building that sustains such collaborative enterprises as Apple's iPhone, most of whose innovative apps are written by external developers. They are also enthusiastic adopters of the disruptive digital technologies that, by enabling "default to open" (the term coined by Google to describe how to leverage the creative potential of the crowd), are driving faster, more cost-effective innovation. And the country's embrace of connectivity—Brazil has the world's third-largest number of Facebook users, many of them small businesses and startups—constitutes a critical asset as technology-driven networks reshape the global innovation landscape.
Indeed, these core strengths should be putting Brazilian companies on a par with the world's leading innovators.
But a nation whose businesses enjoy global prominence in innovation-intensive sectors as diverse as biotechnology, clean energy and aerospace languishes in 61st place on the 143-country Global Innovation Index compiled by Cornell University, the INSEAD business school and the World Intellectual Property Organization. What's more, Brazil is also remarkably ineffective by global standards in its efforts to turn inputs into innovation outputs, from patent applications to new products, services and business models.
Plainly, Brazilians just aren't turning their innate innovation advantages into world-class initiatives—and small wonder.
Most Brazilian companies still prefer to go it alone, and close to home. When Accenture recently asked executives from 10 major developed and emerging economies how they would go about expanding their business into a new area, fully 72 percent of Brazilian respondents—the highest proportion by far among the countries surveyed—affirmed that the way they would do so was through in-house ventures (compared with just more than half of US companies, for example, 37 percent of UK companies and 36 percent of Indian companies). Moreover, just 40 percent (versus more than twice the number of Chinese respondents) said they would expand through strategic alliances.

Hi to all!
I'm studying complex geometry from Huybrechts book "Complex Geometry" and i have problems with an exercise, please can anyone help me?
I define the kahler cone of a compact kahler manifold X as the set
$K_X \subseteq H^{(1,1)}(X)\cap H^2(X,\mathbb{R})$ of kahler classes. I have to prove that $K_X$ doesn't contain any line of the form $\alpha + t \beta$ with $\alpha , \beta\in H^{(1,1)}(X)\cap H^2(X,\mathbb{R})$ and $\beta\neq 0$ (i identify classes with representatives).
This is what i thought: i know that a form $\omega \in H^{(1,1)}(X)\cap H^2(X,\mathbb{R})$ that is positive definite (locally of the form $\frac{i}{2}\sum_{i,j} h_{ij}(x)dz^i\wedge d \overline{z}^{j}$ and $(h_{ij}(x))$ is a positive definite hermitian matrix $\forall x\in X$) is the kahler form associated to a kahler structure. Supposing $\alpha$ a kahler class i want to show that there is a $t\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $\alpha + t \beta$ is not a kahler class. Since $\beta\neq0$ i can find a $t\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $\alpha + t \beta$ is not positive definite any more, now i want to prove that there is no form $\omega \in H^{(1,1)}(X)\cap H^2(X,\mathbb{R})$ such that $\omega=d\lambda$ with $\lambda$ a real 1-form and $\omega=\overline{\partial}\mu$ with $\mu$ a complex (1,0)-form (what i'd like to prove is: correcting representatives of cohomology classes with an exact form i don't get a kahler class). From $\partial\overline{\partial}$-lemma and a little work i know that $\omega=i\partial\overline{\partial}f$ with f a real function. And now (and here i can't go on) i want to prove that i can't have a function f such that $\alpha + t \beta+i\partial\overline{\partial}f$ is positive definite.
Please, if i made mistakes, or you know how to go on, or another way to solve this, tell me.
Thank you in advance.

About Gomm
Perhaps best known as one of the guitarists/vocalists for the seminal pub rock group Brinsley Schwarz, Ian Gomm began his career in music as an apprentice in EMI's mechanical and engineering departments. During his five years with the label, Gomm also fronted several R&B-inspired trios, opening for bands such as the Who, the Move, and Pink Floyd. By 1970, Gomm was ready to pursue playing music full-time; he quit his job at EMI on a Friday and was playing with Brinsley Schwarz by Monday. Gomm's versatility as a singer, songwriter, and guitar player (he was named "Best Rhythm Guitarist" by NME in 1971) helped the group make the transition from folky country-rock to straight-ahead pub rock -- Gomm's recording debut with the band, Nervous on the Road, is one of the group's best albums and features one of Gomm's strongest songs, "It's Been So Long."
He stayed with Brinsley Schwarz until the group folded in 1975, then moved to Wales, where he built his own studio and recorded sessions by the Stranglers, Amon Düül, and Alexis Korner. He also worked on his own material and signed to Albion, who released his solo debut, Summer Holiday, in 1978. The following year, Stiff/Epic issued the album as Gomm with the Wind in America, where the single "Hold On" reached number 12 in the Hot 100 and led to a gig supporting Dire Straits on their Sultans of Swing tour. Subsequent solo albums included What a Blow, The Village Voice (which included "Louise," a song that became Phil Everly's first solo hit) and 1986's Images, his final release of the '80s. Gomm spent the rest of the decade building a new studio, Mountain Sound, and writing more songs. Producing and engineering also kept him busy until 1997, when he released Crazy for You. In 2000, he returned to the studio with Jeff "Stick" Davis of the Amazing Rhythm Aces and Pat McInerney of Nanci Griffith's Blue Moon Orchestra to record Rock 'N' Roll Heart, which was released in 2002 and also features performances by the Rhythm Aces' Russell Smith and Griffith. ~ Heather Phares

We are delighted to introduce you to Travis Powell on this episode of Teachers Teaching Teachers. Travis is a member of the Oregon Writing Project, and he teaches at a unique school that he co-founded, the Child's Way Charter School in Oregon.
We met Travis at a gaming workshop at the National Writing Project's annual meeting in November and at a NWP Maker workshop.
Here's what Travis says about his school and his work there:
The charter is in its fifth year of operation. The charter's mission is to create environments that allow the students to explore and discover their strengths and weaknesses in their educational development. We have an emphasis on the implementation of technology. I am a co-founder of the charter and my role was and is the implementation of some of the theories on education put forth by Gardner, Glasser, Dewy, Maslow & Payne ... I serve a low SES population of 24 students ranging in grades from 9th -12th. Each student has a laptop with internet access along with ipad touches on loan form CATE, center for advanced technology in education, out of the University of Oregon.
The class has done some short videos on our ning.
The ning showcases some of their individual and group projects. In "Problems have Solutions" the students learned what it takes to solve the Cube and then construct a machine to solve the cube. Another project is "Solar Hydrogen" part II.
My goal is to get the students to realize the potential. Be able to read, write, think abstractly (mathematics), apply the scientific method, and communicate effectively at a college level by the time they leave the charter. In tandem, develop a four year plan post high school (two-year, four-year college, vocational, ...) with clear objectives with feedback on accomplishing those steps....

I'm used to working on large projects and with large organisations, but if I'm honest I was a little bit daunted about working with ISO. Not just the potential scope of what David, me and the ISO team of developers had to achieve, but also the responsibility of designing something that millions of people, from all over the world, will see.
David and I had a short window to work on the design, four weeks in-fact, to allow ISO's developers a long enough period for the unenviable task of integrating our new design templates into the ISO CMS and then porting thousands of pages of content. So we broke the project down into four week long sprints, and tackled a different area of the site each week. This was the origin of my weekly working regime.
I spent the first half of each week onsite at ISO's headquarters in Geneva. We took over a meeting room and worked together; David and I, ISO's developers and content team. Managers would make regular appearances to check on what we were working on and we encouraged everyone from the Secretary-General down to join in and contribute. I know that many designers are uncomfortable working literally side-by-side with a client, but trust me, doing it will soon build your confidence and you'll make better designs, faster and with fewer complications.
Working in a browser
We worked primarily in HTML and CSS, using drawing tools like Photoshop and Fireworks for experimenting with 'atmosphere' and creating assets. Whether or not you think that designing in a browser is a good idea, you'll never convince me to demonstrate a design in anything other than a browser.
By working in HTML and CSS, we crushed approval times, sometimes getting the go-ahead on a design decision in just a few minutes. Whereas with static design visuals we'd have needed to explain a concept, with HTML and CSS the ISO team could not only see what we intended but also interact with it. Also, as we were thinking responsively, it didn't matter whether they picked up an iPad or looked at our designs on a PC. When comments or feedback meant we had to make changes, it often took only minutes to write new code, upload it to a server and then tap refresh to get approval.
If you've not worked this way yet, you'll only need to do it once to understand that there are enormous benefits for everybody involved.
Download the project
Like every project I work on these days, I delivered designs expressed through HTML and CSS to ISO. These pages were my vision for the site's main pages and also gave the ISO team a platform to develop from for the rest of the site. There is always an inevitable shift between my reference designs and the final implemented site, but I think ISO did a fantastic job of staying faithful to my vision. With ISO's permission, I'm putting my reference designs online too. Click around or download the whole project as a zip (8Mb.)
Working on the ISO redesign, even for four short weeks last year, taught me a lot and I'd like to say thank-you to David and everyone at ISO for the opportunity to work with them. I hope they're as pleased with what we made as I am.
