Asustek Computer's Linux-based Eee PC laptop will soon be on sale in North America and Europe, and the company plans to offer a version running Windows XP by the end of the year.
The Eee PC is a low-cost laptop designed primarily for children and emerging markets such as India. It weighs less than a kilogram, has a 7-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) screen and can connect to the Internet wirelessly. The first version went on sale earlier this month in Asia, including in Hong Kong and Taiwan, where it's priced at about US$340.
On November 1 the Eee PC will go on sale at stores in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Vancouver and Toronto, and also through e-commerce Web sites in North America, Asustek officials said. It will then be rolled out gradually in Europe, starting in Germany on November 9. Major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, will follow in mid-November.
The first Eee PCs run a Linux operating system from Xandros. By the end of the year, Asustek will also offer versions running Microsoft's Windows XP.
Pricing for the laptops in Europe and North America hasn't been announced. In Taiwan, the price difference between the XP and Linux versions will be about NT$1,000, Asustek said in a statement.
Asustek has shipped about 100,000 Eee PCs so far, and by the end of the year it's targeting 400,000, said Jerry Shen, Asustek's president, at an investor conference in Taiwan. Next year it expects to ship 3.8 million of the laptops.
"We're in talks with a few governments and we have already confirmed orders for 1 million units next year," said Sunny Han, global marketing director.
Asustek reaffirmed its commitment to push the price of the Linux-based Eee PC down to US$199, nearly the same price as the XO laptop developed by the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Project. OLPC is pricing the laptops at US$200, according to its Givemany and Laptopgiving donor programs.
One of the biggest costs for the Eee PC is taxes, Shen said. VAT (value added tax) and other taxes have a big impact on price. Governments interested in buying Eee PCs for education could get a better price by waiving such taxes, he said. An Eee PC sold to a government without taxes factored in would cost around US$199, while the price increases to about US$300 with taxes.
The configuration of the laptops also affects the price, with the amount of flash memory and DRAM (dynamic RAM), the camera and battery having the biggest influence, he said. The price of the kind of flash memory Asustek is using for data storage in the Eee PCs has gone up recently.
Earlier this month, Asustek announced four Eee PC laptop configurations it planned to sell in stores and online, all running Linux software.
The least expensive was the "Surf" with a 2G-byte flash memory drive and 256M bytes of DDR2 (double data rate, second generation) DRAM, to retail for around US$250 when it comes out around the end of November. Another version of the Surf included a 4G-byte flash drive and 512M bytes of DDR2 DRAM, and will cost about US$300 when it comes out in mid-November. Both laptops have an Intel microprocessor.
Two higher-priced Eee PCs were also launched. The US$350 version included a built-in camera and speakers, and can carry out simple voice commands such as "computer, access the Internet," or "computer, make a phone call." It contains a 900MHz Intel Celeron M processor, 512M bytes of DDR2 DRAM and a 4G-byte flash drive. The other laptop, at around US$430 and due out at the end of November, carries an 8G-byte flash drive and 1G byte of DDR2 DRAM in addition to features similar to the US$350 version.
At the launch ceremony, Asustek also showed off one Eee PC running Microsoft Windows XP Professional, version 2002, Service Pack 2. The hardware on board was the same as for the US$350 Linux-based Eee PC. The Windows XP-Eee PC included Office 2003 versions of Excel, PowerPoint and Word.
The Eee PC will hit Australian shores in December with a recommended retail price of AU$499.

Our Economy is absolutely booming! As much as the MSM tries to hide that reality from people, word is getting out throughout the country. Those conversations are taking place at churches, work, amongst families and friends when they gather etc.
Our President is using Twitter to spread the truth!
CNN personnel had to be vomiting earlier today when the data from their survey was shared with them on the Economy.
They can push their BS Approval Rating as much as they want by skewing the sampling (Democrats +8 compared to Republicans).
Here is the real breakdown between Democrats, Republicans & Independents.
From the link above (as of February 12-28):
- Democrats – 30%
- Republicans – 30%
- Independents – 38%
The 71% Economic Approval number tells the REAL story (and that % would be higher if the sampling was not skewed).
Democrats are in for a shellacking in 2020 because of the Economy.
From the article linked above:
According to Republican Party pollster Frank Luntz, Trump "has a greater degree of support within his party than any Republican President has ever had since they started polling." If enough Democrats aren't happy with the party's nominee, overwhelming GOP support might be enough for Trump to win.
The polls may still be against another Trump win, but a resilient U.S. economy, a clever political message and ongoing changes to the ways Americans get their news suggest a fight to the finish.
From the article linked above:
- Voters think the economy is doing better than they have in nearly two decades, according to a new CNN poll.
- That could be good news for President Donald Trump as he runs for re-election in 2020.
President Donald Trump has one key factor in his favor ahead of his 2020 re-election bid.
Seventy-one percent of Americans say the economy is good, while only 27 percent rate it poor, according to a CNN poll released Monday. The last time respondents to the CNN poll held such rosy views of the economy was 2001.
U.S. gross domestic product has grown at a healthy rate. While job creation slowed significantly in February, wages have started to grow more after an adjustment for inflation.
Other recent polls have shown general optimism about the economy. In late February, 53 percent of Americans said they think there will not be a recession in the next 12 months, versus 33 percent who believe the economy will contract, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Generally, voters' contentment with their wallets bodes well for an incumbent president. Trump has repeatedly pointed to a strong economy as evidence of his policy success as he seeks another term.
From the article linked above:
Democratic pollster John Zogby, who weekly grades the president along with conservative analyst Jed Babbin, said that the Democrats aren't offering a credible alternative.
"Trump will be hard to beat," he said in his grade comments. He noted that the president isn't polling well in the states he shocked Hillary Clinton in 2016, but that doesn't mean he's in trouble of losing.
"He is not polling well in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. When did he ever? But you gotta beat him with something," said Zogby.
Look what else is blowing up in their faces!
From the article linked above:
Amid signs that special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference may be near its conclusion, a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds that trust in Mueller has eroded and half of Americans agree with President Donald Trump's contention that he has been the victim of a "witch hunt."
Support for the House of Representatives to seriously consider impeaching the president has dropped since last October by 10 percentage points, to 28 percent.
Twenty-eight percent say they have a lot of trust in former FBI director Mueller's investigation to be fair and accurate. That's the lowest level to date and down 5 points since December.
In comparison, 30 percent express a lot of trust in Trump's denials, the highest to date.
Overall, Americans by 62 percent-28 percent say the House shouldn't seriously consider impeaching Trump, compared with 54 percent-39 percent last October.
Money talks and BS Walks! Our President and our country is WINNING!

Ensure Maximum Life Of Your Treadmill With Lubrication
Proper maintenance for your treadmill, including lubrication, is a must do! Depending on your model, you may sometimes have to lubricate the running deck with paraffin wax. The reason for applying wax to the running deck is so the running belt moves smoothly over the deck surface. The wax reduces the friction between the two, thus creating a longer life span for your running belt and deck. Note: please refer to your owner's manual for any questions regarding maintenance for your specific machine, but here are some pointers.
Please note that if you have had your running belt and deck replaced in 2012 and after, it is possible you have a maintenance-free running belt and deck. If you are unsure, please call tech support at 800-335-4348 and we can assist you in figuring that out. If you have a maintenance-free running deck and belt, do not put any wax, or any type of lubricant on your treadmill. They are made so the running belt is infused with wax, and will run smoothly onto the deck, requiring no maintenance from you!
If your treadmill running deck does require wax, it is a fairly straight forward procedure. We recommend the use of a SLic-STik, which is a wand with wax on the end, and it makes it a fairly easy process.
How To Lubricate Your Treadmill
- Start off by turning off and unplugging the treadmill.
- Loosen the rear roller bolts with an Allen wrench to allow the belt to be lifted up from the sides of the deck.
- Clean and clear the deck of foreign debris. Inspect the deck for signs of wear. If large deep scratches are present or the black coating has worn to wood color, the deck should be flipped to a good side or replaced.
- If surface is OK, lift the side of the belt and insert SLic-STik under the belt to wax the surface. Generously apply the SLic-STik to the deck from front to back using a back and forth movement concentrating on the center surface area of the deck.
- Remove the SLic-STik from under the belt and adjust the belt back to its proper tension. Plug the treadmill in and it is ready to use.
A Vision Fitness treadmill deck should be lightly waxed every 500 miles to insure maximum life of the treadmill components, but it is better to wax more often than to wait too long. However it is important to note that over-waxing can have a negative effect, such as belt thumping or excess wear of components.
Following these guidelines can help keep your treadmill in great working condition. If you want to purchase a wax stick for your Horizon or Vision Treadmill, you can by calling tech support at 800-244-4192 or 800-335-4348.

The classic, Emmy-nominated springtime special, "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown" (OAD 3/25/05), along with "Charlie Brown All Stars" (OAD: 4/7/09) - back on network television for the first time since 1982 - will air as a one-hour "PEANUTS" special, SUNDAY, MARCH 31 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
In "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown," a holiday is coming up for the "PEANUTS" pals, and that means there's a lot to do. Charlie, Sally, Lucy and Marcie get ready for the big day by making several unsuccessful attempts to prepare eggs for coloring -- by frying, waffle-ironing, toasting, roasting and finally making soup out of them -- while Linus insists no preparation is necessary. Not to worry, the Easter Beagle steps in to take care of everything!
In "Charlie Brown All Stars," Charlie Brown's team walks out on him after losing their 999th game in a row, but hope arrives in the form of an offer for a team sponsor and an opportunity to be in a real league with real uniforms. Unfortunately he learns that his sandlot crew can't play in the real league because his players include a dog and several girls. Rather than breaking the news, he hopes that if they can win just one game, he'll be back in business and the team won't care about uniforms. For a while it looks as though Charlie's Brown's team might tie the score in the last of the ninth and go on to win. But when he tries to steal home, as Snoopy successfully did before him, he snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. To make things worse, he has to tell the gang that they aren't going to get uniforms after all. But when the gang learns why Charlie Brown couldn't get them their uniforms, they use Linus' blanket to make one for him, and he winds up the hero after all.
The cast of "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown" includes Todd Barbee as Charlie Brown, Melanie Kohn as Lucy, Stephen Shea as Linus, Linda Ercoli as Peppermint Patty, Lynn Mortensen as Sally and James Ahrens as Marcie. The special was created and written by Charles M. Schulz, executive-produced by Lee Mendelson and directed by Phil Roman. The music was composed and performed by Vince Guaraldi.
"Charlie Brown All Stars" stars Peter Robbins as Charlie Brown, Sally Dryer as Lucy, Chris Shea as Linus, Anne Altieri as Frieda, Kip DeFaria as Shermy and the umpire, Glenn Mendelson as Schroeder, Karen Mendelson as Violet, Jeff Ornstein as Pigpen, Cathy Steinberg as Sally and Lynn Vanderlip as Patty. Lee Mendelson was executive-producer and Bill Melendez was the director. The original score was composed and conducted by Vince Guaraldi.
On October 2, 1950 the PEANUTS comic strip launched in seven American newspapers. Who would have guessed the impact the brand would have around the world for decades to come. Nearly 60 years later, the comic strip appears in over 2,200 newspapers, in 75 countries and 21 languages. PEANUTS animated specials have become a seasonal tradition and thousands of consumer products are available in virtually all retail channels. Charlie Brown kicking the football, Linus and his blanket and Lucy leaning over Schroeder's piano are images to which everyone can relate. Such phrases as "Security Blanket" and "Good Grief" have become a part of the global vernacular. Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez's association with Charles Schulz stretches back to 1965 with "A Charlie Brown Christmas," which debuted on CBS in 1965 with Mendelson as executive producer and Bill Melendez as animator and director. The three men continued their long-term association until Schulz's death, working together on 50 PEANUTS network specials and four feature films. The network specials won five Emmys, two Peabodys and 18 other Emmy nominations.
The PEANUTS characters and related intellectual property are owned by Peanuts Worldwide LLC, a joint venture owned 80% by Iconix Brand Group, Inc. and 20% by members of the Charles M. Schulz family.

Profiles in Modern Jewish Courage, 1st Candle:
No Evil:
Natan (Anatoli) Sharansky was arrested in 1977 for his Zionist activism, his insistence on the right of Russian Jews to make aliyah to Israel. However he was accused of the much more serious crime of treason, for spying for the United States. He sat in prison from 1977 to 1986 including eight years in a Soviet prison camp in Siberia. After continuous public protest in the West, spear-headed by his wife Avital, Natan Sharansky was released in a spy exchange between the US and the USSR in 1986. After making aliyah and establishing a Russian immigrant party in 1996, he became Israeli Minister of Industry and Trade and later of the Interior.
His memoirs of the Soviet period are filled with sparkling anecdotes about the power of the few against the many the power that derives from "fearing no evil" and laughing in the face of oppression. The phrase, "fear no evil," is taken from the little book of Psalms, which he carried with him through his long imprisonment.
The holiday of Hanukkah was approaching. At the time, I was the only Jew in the prison zone, but when I explained that Hanukkah was a holiday of national freedom, of returning to one's own culture in the face of forced assimilation, my friends in our "kibbutz" decided to celebrate it with me. They even made me a wooden menorah, decorated it, and found some candles.
In the evening I lit the first candle and recited a prayer that I had composed for this occasion. Tea was poured, and I began to describe the heroic struggle of the Maccabees to save their people from slavery. For each zek [a prisoner in the Soviet Gulag] who was listening, this story had its own personal meaning. At one point the duty officer appeared in the barracks. He made a list of all those present, but did not interfere.
On each of the subsequent evenings of Hanukkah I took out my menorah, lit the candles, and recited the appropriate blessing. Then I blew out the candles, as I didn't have any extras. Gavriliuk, the collaborator whose bunk was across from mine, watched and occasionally grumbled, "Look at him, he made himself a synagogue. And what if there's a fire?"
On the sixth night of Hanukkah the authorities confiscated my menorah with all my candles. I ran to the duty officer to find out what had happened.
"The candlesticks were made from state materials; this is illegal. You could be punished for this alone and the other prisoners are complaining. They¹re afraid you'll start a fire."
I began to insist. "In two days Hanukkah will be over and then I'll return this 'state property' to you. Now, however, this looks like an attempt to deny me the opportunity of celebrating Jewish holidays."
The duty officer began hesitating. Then he phoned his superior and got his answer: "A camp is not a synagogue. We won't permit Sharansky to pray here."
I was surprised by the bluntness of that remark, and immediately declared a hunger strike. In a statement to the procurator general I protested against the violation of my national and religious rights, and against KGB [Russian secret police] interference in my personal life.
When you begin an unlimited hunger strike, you never know when or how it will end. Are the authorities interested at that moment in putting a swift end to it, or don't they give a damn? In a few weeks a commission from Moscow was due to arrive in the camp. I didn't know this at the time, but the authorities, presumably, were very aware of it, which probably explains why I was summoned to Major Osin's office two days later, in the evening.
Osin was an enormous, flabby man of around fifty, with small eyes and puffy eyelids, who seemed to have long ago lost interest in everything but food. But he was a master of intrigue who had successfully overtaken many of his colleagues on the road to advancement. During my brief time in the camp he had weathered several scandals and had always managed to pass the buck to his subordinates. I could see that he had enjoyed his power over the zeks and liked to see them suffer. But he never forgot that the zeks were, above all, a means for advancing his career, and he knew how to back off in a crisis.
Osin pulled a benevolent smile over his face as he tried to talk me out of my hunger strike. Osin promised to see to it personally that in the future nobody would hinder me from praying, and that this should not be a concern of the KGB.
"Then what's the problem?" I said. "Give me back the menorah, as tonight is the last evening of Hanukkah. Let me celebrate it now, and taking into account your assurances for the future, I shall end the hunger strike."
"What's a menorah?"
But a protocol for its confiscation had already been drawn up, and Osin couldn't back down in front of the entire camp. As I looked at this predator, sitting at an elegant polished table and wearing a benevolent smile, I was seized by an amusing idea.
"Listen," I said, "I'm sure you have the menorah somewhere. It's very important to me to celebrate the last night of Hanukkah. Why not let me do it here and now, together with you? You'll give me the menorah, I'll light the candles and say the prayer, and if all goes well I'll end the hunger strike."
Osin thought it over and promptly the confiscated menorah appeared from his desk. He summoned Gavriliuk, who was on duty in the office, to bring in a large candle.
"I need eight candles," I said. (In fact I needed nine, but when it came to Jewish rituals I was still a novice.) Gavriliuk took out a knife and began to cut the candle into several smaller ones. But it didn't come out right; apparently the knife was too dull. Then Osin took out a handsome inlaid pocketknife and deftly cut me eight candles.
"Go, I'll call you later," he said to Gavriliuk. Gavriliuk simply obeyed orders. He was a fierce, gloomy man, and this sight must have infuriated him.
I arranged the candles and went to the coatrack for my hat, explaining to Osin that "during the prayer you must stand with your head covered and at the end say 'Amen.'" He put on his major's hat and stood. I lit the candles and recited my own prayer in Hebrew, which went something like this: "Blessed are You, Adonai, for allowing me to rejoice on this day of Hanukkah, the holiday of our liberation, the holiday of our return to the way of our fathers. Blessed are You, Adonai, for allowing me to light these candles. May you allow me to light the Hanukkah candles many times in your city, Jerusalem, with my wife, Avital, and my family and friends."
This time, however, inspired by the sight of Osin standing meekly at attention, I added in Hebrew: "And may the day come when all our enemies, who today are planning our destruction, will stand before us and hear our prayers and say 'Amen.'"
"Amen," Osin echoed back. He sighed with relief, sat down and removed his hat. For some time we looked silently at the burning candles. They quickly melted, and the hot wax was spread pleasantly over the glass surface of the table. Then Osin caught himself, summoned Gavriliuk, and brusquely ordered him to clean it up.
I returned to the barracks in a state of elation, and our kibbutz made tea and merrily celebrated the end of Hanukkah. Naturally, I told them about Osin's "conversion," and it soon became the talk of the camp. I realized that revenge was inevitable, but I also knew they had plenty of other reasons to punish me.
Sharansky's Final Statement in the Soviet Court
Sharansky addressed his first remarks to those who were not in the courtroom, his wife Avital who emigrated to Israel and the Jewish people:
"During my interrogation the chief investigators threatened me that I might be executed by a firing squad, or imprisoned for at least fifteen years. But if I agreed to cooperate with the investigation for the purpose of destroying the Jewish emigration movement, they promised me freedom and a quick reunion with my wife.
"Five years ago, I submitted my application for exit to Israel. Now I am further than ever from my dream. It would seem to be cause for regret. But it is absolutely the other way around. I am happy. I am happy that I lived honorably, at peace with my conscience. I never compromised my soul, even under the threat of death.
"I am happy that I helped people. I am proud that I knew and worked with such honorable, brave and courageous people as Sakharov, Orlov, Ginzburg, who are carrying on the traditions of the Russian intelligentsia [in defending human rights in the Soviet Union]. I am fortunate to have been witness to the process of the liberation of Jews of the USSR.
"I hope that the absurd accusation against me and the entire Jewish emigration movement will not hinder the liberation of my people. My near ones and friends know how I wanted to exchange activity in the emigration movement for a life with my wife Avital, in Israel.
"For more that two thousand years the Jewish people, my people, have been dispersed. But wherever they are, wherever Jews are found, every year they have repeated,'Next year in Jerusalem.' Now, when I am further than ever from my people, from Avital, facing many arduous years of imprisonment, I say, turning to my people, my Avital, 'Next year in Jerusalem.'
"Now I turn to you, the court, who were required to confirm a predetermined sentence: To you I have nothing to say."
When in 1986 Sharansky was finally released in an exchange of spies and was reunited with his wife Avital, his first words to her recalled the final words of his declaration in the Soviet court, "Next Year in Jerusalem." He is reputed to have said, with his inimitable sense of humor, "Sorry for being late."

Kristen Smith guilty of kidnapping newborn nephew
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Colorado woman was convicted Thursday of kidnapping her newborn nephew in Wisconsin and abandoning him in freezing temperatures outside an Iowa gas station as police closed in.
A federal jury deliberated for about three hours before finding Kristen Smith, 31, guilty of kidnapping, a charge that carries a sentence of 25 years to life in prison.
WEDNESDAY: Kidnapping defendant says dad asked her to take child
The Aurora, Colo., woman took 4-day-old Kayden Powell from the Town of Beloit, Wisconsin, home where his parents were staying on Feb. 6. Smith testified that the parents were planning to move in with her in the next few days and the groggy father asked her to take the baby with her when she left at 2 a.m.
Prosecutors dismissed the explanation as ludicrous, saying no first-time parents would let someone take their newborn in the middle of the night without formula, diapers or clothes. They accused Smith of trying to steal a baby to pass off as her own.
Defense attorney Matthew Noel said the government misinterpreted her motives. He said she would have no reason to steal a child because she already had four children and a stepchild.
As Smith was driving back to Colorado that morning, the baby's mother called, frantic at her baby's disappearance. An officer who was at the house took the phone and asked Smith to pull over and wait for officers to question her.
Smith swaddled the baby, put him in a plastic tote, closed the lid and stashed the container at a gas station. Then she drove to another gas station about 500 yards away to meet an officer. She repeatedly denied knowing where the baby was.
She testified that she lied to officers out of panic, but prosecutors countered during closing arguments that if she truly had permission from the baby's father she had no reason to be afraid.
The baby, who was left in freezing temperatures for 29 hours, was found alive and safe by an Iowa police chief.

DataPoint: Spotify Facebook App is Raking in Users and Engagement
Spotify's Facebook app has been topping AppData's leaderboards for some time now. It's the top gainer this week in monthly active users (MAUs), accumulating almost 1.4 million new MAUs. Spotify has over 32 million MAUs, and its DAU/MAU engagement has increased five percent in the past week.
Back in 2011, the music streaming service angered many users (and potential users) when it made Facebook Connect its only means of signing up for the platform. The company had to defend itself from the onslaught of complaints, and eventually backtracked on the policy about a year later. While the company had hoped its integration with Facebook would help boost its user base, the app's recent growth shows that you don't need to make Facebook the only option in order to be successful on the platform.
As the graph below shows, Spotify has gained about 4.5 million MAUs this year alone: [Click to enlarge]

- We are almost having summer here. Summer, with golden red leaves in the trees and brown ones on the ground.
- I let Irritating Little Chihuahua out the front door the other night, and both of us got a bit freaked out by the sound of footsteps in the deep crinkling leaves at the back of the house. She came right back in and I went to face the unknown out the back door, where my flashlight highlighted a possum. Just how does a possum walk in leaves and make footstep sounds? Gaffer said it was a hoppin' possum.
- It has been raining in Indiana, which means I have problems getting on line and can, yet again, listen in on my neighbors phone calls and they, mine. Gotta love Indiana.
- Twenty-three year old, Gaffer, is working now. In the last months, he has applied for a job in every city within a fifty mile radius. He got, exactly, one call back. After two interviews, he began working as a cashier at a Cracker Barrel and is now up for his first raise. He is delighted. He is a good worker and in January, he begins his training to take his Master's Electrician license.
- The twenty year old, EMT, was looking for a job. He has signed his enlistment papers to join the Army and goes to basic in January so thought he would not be able to find a job to fill-in for a couple of months. He was happy to find a job with NTN in Columbus, IN. They make drive shafts, I believe. He starts on Monday. We have thought, for some time, that would be a good fit for the military. Will I worry? Yes! But, no more than when he was a volunteer fireman or getting his woodland fire fighter certificate.
- And, the games continue. Tonight they are playing Trivial Pursuit. It is as noisy as Risk. I do believe they have all realized that life, as it tends to do, will be evolving very soon and are making memories and enjoying each other's company.
Gaffer may be here for a year, or more, but once he has his Master's Electrician License, he will be off to points where there are sets and stages that need electricians. EMT will be in the Army for four years and Jake, formerly known as JRock and less formerly known as JCountry, will be off to Nashville, TN in a couple of years. His choice is either Diesel Mechanic and/or guitar/singer.
Right now, the little ladies who shop in Nashville, Indiana love Jake and are overwhelmed by the depth of his voice, with their claps and a few tips too.

The Central Connecticut swimming and diving team has announced the signing of four student-athletes for the 2017 class. Stephanie Czulewicz, Christine Rasile, Sabree Thomas and Lisa Ward will all be joining the 2013-14 roster.
Czulewicz, a Norwalk High School All-State student-athlete comes to New Britain from Norwalk, CT.
"Stephanie is extremely strong in the middle distance freestyle and backstroke," Head Coach Bill Ball said. "She will continue to help CCSU swimming in maintaining its high level of scoring in these events."
Rasile, a Branford, CT native, is a sprint and middle distance freestyle swimmer. She captained her Branford High School team to a 2012 State Championship. Rasile is also a Connecticut state champion and record holder.
"Christine will make an immediate impact at the Northeast Conference Championships next season," Ball said.
Thomas is a YMCA National Qualifier and comes to Central from South Hadley, MA. She is an IM and butterfly swimmer that shows great potential to have an impressive impact on the 2013-14 squad.
"Sabree is an extremely talented sprint flyer and IM'er," Ball said. "She is unique in the fact that she has only swam in the 200 IM and the 100 fly rested. We are excited to see what other events an athlete with that much ability can do rested in others. She could make an even bigger impact than we anticipate."
Ward, a Trumbull, CT native, is a high school sectional qualifier. She swims the 200 and 400 IM and also specializes in the butterfly event.
"Lisa is a jack of all trades," Ball said. "She is strong in all strokes and at all distances and can impact the program and conference meets in many ways."
These four student-athletes will join a program that will have lost seven members to graduation that have amassed 20 All-Conference individual performances and six individual championships. "In three years, this group will certainly help in starting to replace the major loses to graduation next season," Ball said.

You know how every single time you blow your load inside a cheap, plastic sex doll, you always end up feeling that beautiful, tender moment of shared devotion and pray to whatever god you believe in that the two of you can spend the rest of your lives together inseparably intertwined? Well now you can.
Dutch artist Sander Reijgers has created a number of wearable items – including jackets, gloves and hats – by mixing old, cut-up bits of sex dolls with other bits of clothing from big sportswear brands like Nike and Reebok, so you stay stylish while creeping people out. And yeah, sure, you might get some weird looks from people who don't "get" edgy-emotional, but if they can't appreciate a man sharing his love and bodily fluids with the world, then that's their loss, right?
I caught up with Sander to ask him about his sexy creations and why he chose to make gloves with clitorises for palms.
One of Sander's 'Cultural Contrasts' jackets.
VICE: Hey Sander. First off, tell me about your 'Cultural Contrasts' jackets.
Sander Reijgers: Well, I wanted to combine the East and the West together in one jacket, so I combined the keffiyeh, a scarf from the Middle East, with a Nike jacket. I was interested in the cultural meanings of the scarves; they're worn to keep warm or protect yourself from the sun, but then they also have an association with terrorists. Also, Hollywood stars and Western youth wear them, which is interesting.
Were you trying to make a political statement yourself?
Yeah, I wanted to create a jacket of peace by combining the two extremes of American capitalism and what the keffiyeh can represent. But there was no political statement with the sex doll jackets.
Yeah, what are they about? I read that the idea came after you read The Malady of Death by Marguerite Duras.
In short, the main character in that story can't feel anything for people. He uses sex as a means to feel something and hopes that by having sex with women, he'll be able to feel some kind of emotion towards a human. I wanted to do the opposite. I wanted to free the sex doll from her sexual position.
Why did you decide to make clothes rather than some other kind of art?
I started off making bags out of the dolls because I wanted them to feel and see the world in a normal way. For example, if you wear the bag while going out to do groceries, then the doll may come into contact with ordinary life. I've gone a step further with the jackets by combining the "product" of a woman with hip-hop, youth culture and sport.
Yeah, you use Nike a lot in your work – why's that?
I mean, I do use other brands like Adidas and Reebok, too, but – for me – Nike is the biggest and such a strong brand and symbol of the West. Everybody knows Nike, so I use that recognition and association with Nike in my work.
What are your thoughts about sex dolls?
I just find them funny and stupid. I'm fascinated by the fact that it's supposed to be a reflection of a woman. All the clichés are in the doll.
Which clichés?
Well, the woman is a product nowadays – they must be attractive and seductive. For example, in advertising, a carton of milk has to be sold with a horny-looking or half naked woman. The woman is subordinate and the man is dominant. I use those roles and imagery in my work.
Your mum helped you make the jackets – didn't she think they were weird?
At first she found it strange, yes. But she wanted to help me make the jackets because I'd never worked with a sewing machine before and she knew how to use one. After the first coat was finished, she was very happy and positive about the end result, so we carried on.
One of Sanders' totally not creepy drawings.
That sounds like a nice bonding experience. I read that you started as a painter – what would you define yourself as now?
I see myself as a sculptor. I couldn't use many different materials or work very quickly with painting, so I quit and started to make 3D work.
That explains the vagina football.
Yeah, I wanted to make works of art that you don't have to wear and can just look at. Football is a man's world filled with machismo and money, so I started to experiment with the sex doll and the football to try and give the football world a different meaning.
Okay. You've also made a pair of gloves with a vagina in the palm. What are you trying to say with those?
Nothing. I just think it's funny to make stigmata gloves with a vagina and an anus. I do a lot of drawing and I drew a hands with a vagina and an anus on them, wondered how that would look in real life and made the gloves.
Ah, the practical joys of being able to reinterpret sex toys. Thanks, Sander!

I am trying to read from a buffered reader.
Cannot really post the code as it is for an assignment I have.
Basically i need to send text to a buffered reader, read this into a file using printWriter but also display this on the screen.
So when i do a while loop that loops until EOF is reached works fine.
the 2nd while loop that reads into a file using the same method above just freezes the program.
Do i have to open the close the bufferedReader when that read has finished ready for another read? or something as i am really struggling?
using .readLine() method

"Aesthetics is an all-encompassing expression of belief," Lewis said. "It's where politics, spirituality, music, and visual expression all come together."
As a curator, researcher, filmmaker and book editor, she channels that energy every day.
"People have memory [of African ways] who might not even know what to call it," Lewis said. "It's cultural memory."
Lewis, 32, grew up in a New Orleans family of artist, educators, and professionals. Between her house full of history books and the streets outside, where social aid clubs still parade every Sunday, Lewis' childhood was one steeped in African-American tradition.
She attended Howard University as an undergraduate and earned her master's degree in African-American history from Temple University between trips to the Caribbean, Africa and Brazil.
When Hurricane Katrina struck her hometown, she moved back to resuscitate a black history museum there.
But New York was never far from her mind. Lewis is a strong believer in the old adage "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere." Judging by her resume since she moved to Brooklyn in 2009, she's made it.
As an independent curator and director of exhibitions at the Caribbean Cultural Center in Midtown Manhattan, she has assembled a dizzying series of shows across town, with subject matter spanning oceans and millenia.
Lewis is currently co-producing a documentary about a New Orleans public housing project, and editing an anthology about sex crimes against black girls, her first efforts in both mediums.
"I've been fortunate to be able to follow my intuition," Lewis said. She added that unconventional venues and online promotion have helped draw audiences other museums ignore.
Check out her "Re-Imagining Haiti" exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts in Fort Greene, on view now through May 8. Also, the sex crimes anthology is seeking submissions. For details visit the anthology website.

Clathrin is present in every cell in the human body, but cows possess a vast wealth of it in their bovine brains that make them an ideal source for the stuff. And given the right biochemical directions, researchers think they can coax clathrin into creating better batteries and solar cells

DOVER — A former food service director for the Dover School system is scheduled to appear at Strafford County Superior Court this morning for a plea and sentencing hearing following two charges after being directly indicted last March.
Mark Covell, 58, of last known address 111 Central St. Apt. 2, Peabody, Mass., faces two felony charges for allegedly stealing money from the school system from money paid for children's lunches and also a vending machine. Both times, the theft was in excess of $1,500.
Charges allege that he "stole money paid to the school system for children's lunches in excess of $1,500 between Jan. 4 and Feb. 24, 2012, and also allegedly stole money from vending machines in excess of the same amount between September 2011 and Feb. 24, 2012," according to an article printed in Foster's on March 31, 2012.
The school district at that time reported "carrying insurance for public entity crime, which covers larceny, theft, embezzlement, and other fraudulent and dishonest acts."
Covell, who had not had any other prior incidents during his 20 years of employment with the school district, was bailed on $1,000 bonded bail with conditions of having no contact with the Dover School System and that he not commit any federal, state or local crimes during his release.
The discovery of stolen money was the result of a two-week investigation in February 2012 after financial reporting irregularities were discovered from Covell's office.
School District Business Administrator Michael Limanni met with two food service employees to discuss the findings of the investigation. Police were immediately notified at that point.
In March, Superintendent Jean Briggs Badger credited the then "recent cash management improvements recommended by the district auditor helped lead to this discovery in February."
Covell's employment with the school ended as of Feb. 24, 2012.
The plea and sentencing hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. at Strafford County Superior Court.

January 30, 2014 : By Drew Menard
For the broadcasting and digital media majors from Liberty University's School of Communication & Creative Arts (SCCA) involved, this past Saturday's men's hockey game played before a standing-room-only crowd at the LaHaye Ice Center was an ideal showcase for their cutting-edge technical production skills.
A team of nearly 40 students worked behind the scenes to create a live-streamed broadcast-quality webcast of the highly anticipated rematch between the Flames, ranked third in Division I of the American Collegiate Hockey Association, and top-ranked Arizona State University.
The special production, called "Saturday Night Hockey," was the result of more than three months of planning by senior students Matt Atkins and Stephen Fogleman.
The three-hour show will be rebroadcast to more than 85 million homes through Liberty Flames Sports Network (LFSN) affiliates across the United States this Saturday, starting at 7 p.m. (EST).
"It was an initiative by the students that they created, that they researched, that they planned, and that they put their hearts and souls into," said LFSN Streaming Producer Matthew Byrd, who supervised the event. "It was a lot of fun for the students because it's something different. We've done 200 of these events the normal way, so we kind of broke that normality and did something crazy, just for the fun of it."
Russ Martin, SCCA's executive producer, said the degree of professionalism demonstrated by the students — many of whom volunteered their time for the experience — was extraordinary.
"I am very impressed with the drive for excellence and innovation that the students have put forth for this event," Martin said. "It is a testament of their desire to go above and beyond routine production."
Under supervision from Byrd, three Liberty seniors took lead roles in the broadcast: Matt Atkins, who served as the show's producer; Stephen Fogleman, the director; and Ru O'Dell, the technical director.
"As the producer, Matt Atkins created the content, the theme of the game," Byrd said. "He was the navigator. Stephen had his hand on the wheel, so to speak. As the director, he called the shots and saw how the camera (footage) was previewed. And Ru was the one pushing the pedals. She was the one hitting all of the buttons and controlling everything."
A crew of videographers captured the fast-paced action all over the rink through the lenses of 13 cameras, including two stationed behind the goals, two in the teams' penalty boxes, and one on a jib crane that swooped over the back left corner of the ice. Four additional cameras were focused on the two broadcast booths — one booth in the second-floor media center overlooking the rink and one on the opposite corner of the arena.
Flames Hockey sports broadcaster Rett McGibbon and his brother-in-law Jason Elliotson provided play-by-play and color commentary from the main booth, while Club Sports assistant director David Semenyna and video and media coordinator Patrick Strawn contributed commentary for the pregame show and intermissions from the second booth. Devan Mello accompanied the analysts as the show's host.
According to Byrd, there was a group of students that created content, keeping the viewer engaged during intermission and whenever the game wasn't active. They interviewed players and coaches from both teams both pregame and during intermission.
The broadcast took a tremendous amount of synergy among students performing a wide range of functions. At the same time, the production required a technically complex fusion of input from a variety of sources.
"We combined three TriCasters for one broadcast," Byrd said of the NewTek TriCaster integrated production systems, which simulate audio and video control rooms. "We had a small high definition remote truck outside that was handling the pregame and intermission desk over in the corner. Then, in order to be able to get all 13 cameras, we had to combine two of the switcher units, which is a feat in and of itself."
"Our student producers and director worked hard to develop a concept that would work within the framework of our existing technical setup, while stretching the system to its limits," Martin added.
Byrd plans to submit the final product to the Sports Video Group's College Sports Media Awards competition, with the winners announced at the May 28 Sports Broadcasting Summit in Atlanta.
Next month, LFSN will broadcast another ACHA DI National Tournament Selection Show, as it did for the first time last year at LaHaye, announcing the 20 teams that qualified for postseason play. In September, the crew aired an ACHA DI preseason show, and in the near future, Byrd would like to see his team travel to produce a live webcast of an ACHA DI national championship game.
"That's a goal in the next two years to see if we can get to the championship game and do it wherever it's at."

We offer tapes for all variety of applications, from temporary hook and loop to electrical insulation tapes, from Gaffa to flashing, plastic to paper and everything in-between. Our suppliers are selected among the top brands globally, such as 3M, Advance Tapes, Tesa and RS Pro.
What kind of tapes are there?The different features available on the market help to distinguish tapes in various categories, such as:
- Single or double sided: they can have one or two adhesive sides, respectively. They come in different materials to suit every environment.
- Gaffa: also known as gaffer tapes, they are a variation of the duct tape, it is different from it since it is non-reflective and can be easily removed. It is used in theatres in filmmaking to mark stage positions or equipment.
- Duct: also called duck tape, it's normally coated with polietylene. It can be used to fix several objects guaranteeing resistance, but, unlike the name might suggest, it is not the best option for ducts as it is not completely waterproof.
- Hook and Loop: they ensure a secure fastening by pressing together two type of tapes. It is best used on clothes or furniture to replace fastening systems such as zip and buttons.
- Reflective: in addition to being visible in low lighting conditions and therefore used for safety on the roads, one of the most prominent characteristics of reflective tapes is their resistance to heat and flames, which makes them suitable to be attached to fireproof clothing items such as fire coats.
- Self-Amalgamating Tapes: they do not contain adhesives, but bond or fuse to themselves when stretched, which makes them perfect for electrical insulation.
What are tapes made of?Tapes can be constituted of different materials, which determine in turn the best application they're suitable for:
- Aluminium or Foil: thanks to his strong adhesive power and the peculiar properties of this metal, aluminium tape is particularly used in electrical, construction and HVAC industries where the need for conductivity and resistance is higher.
- Cloth: they have a cloth backing and can be coated with a rubber adhesives, they can come in different colours and thus be perfect as markers for every use.
- Copper: flexible and available both in conductive or non-conductive versions, their main field of use is in electronics.
What are tapes used for?Some of tapes applications include:
- Electrical insulation
- Hazard signalling
- Lane marking
- Masking
- Packaging

I have been studying topological quantum field theory by mainly reading the Turaev's book.
I'd like to know if there are unsolved problems that motivate mathematicians to study TQFT, like Riemann's hypothesis for number theory.
I also would like to know if there is a paper or book that list big or small unsolved problems of TQFT. If not, could you suggest some problems here? I have been learning TQFT but I don't know what to do by myself as a graduate student.
Thank you.

So I figured since I'm engaged and getting married next February I'll have to post a few updates on the planning process! We have mostly everything done, because I'm a freak like that, and working in the wedding planning industry for three years prior, kind of helped me narrow things down quite a bit. In a previous post, I posted a picture of some fabric that we bought for some ideas at the reception, but besides that, I haven't really started doing much with the reception decoration diy projects. I know that our colors are red, white, and gray. My mom's colors were red and white, so I am very excited to coordinate that into the wedding! We have been drinking a lot of coke out of glass bottles too, because those will be incorporated into the decorations too! :) We have to get one more fabric that is a gray or white feminine fabric to balance it all out.
Shea and I are traveling out to the reception site, which is a barn, this weekend to take measurements for everything so we can roll up our sleeves and start getting crafty at home. I'm her number #1 cutter when it comes to fabric. :) As for dresses, I'm going to try some on this Saturday! I have invited a few very important people in my life and am excited to share that with them. On Sunday we are having our tasting. I am SO excited to work with our caterer. Their food looks delicious and lets just say the sampling of our menus looks a little like this.
Cocktail Hour includes Crispy French Fries, Little Kobe Beef Sliders with Farmhouse Cheddar & Country Pickles and Mini Corn Dogs with Honey-Whole Grain Mustard & Pickled Tomato Relish where they'll be serving Sparkling Triple Citrus Sangria and Still Water with Grapes & Lavender.
I can already see myself in a food coma after that, but it continues on to be awesomely amazing. Since we are getting married at a Catholic church, it kind of limits the time when we could have our ceremony, but we are starting off the reception with dancing & toasts since I don't want to serve dinner at 4, but since I don't want anyone to go hungry or get bored during this time, we are having an array of fresh fruits and veggies and cheeses at the table with warm bread.
After that, it's finally dinner time, and so many people say, I didn't get to eat at my wedding. Well this girl is going to eat. Sorry people. It's definitely happening. Here's what is on the menu for dinner time. Sweet & Subtly Spiced Boneless Beef Short Ribs with Apple Horseradish Sauce, Wood Grilled Chicken Breasts with Tomato-Oregano Salsa, Roasted Tomato & Parmesan Macaroni & Cheese
Grilled Seasonal Vegetables & Fingerling Potatoes and Chopped Vegetable Salad with Preserved Meyer Lemon Dressing.
HELLO. Can it get much better? I am so excited for this weekend and our tasting! Seriously, it will be delicious, and it's so B and I, that's the best part. When I was looking for a caterer, I talked to a lot of different people and companies, and I don't think they really understood what I was saying when I wanted sliders and mac and cheese. I got back a lot of 'common' wedding food, and I was really excited when the company we are going with responded with this awesome menu. I had a great feeling when I talked to her on the phone and she pulled through huge. I was immediately sold.
As for arts and crafts I have been working on these little flags to have at the tables at our engagement party next weekend. They have our website on them and they are going to sit in little buckets on the tables.
I have to finish them up sometime this weekend as well, but I really like the way they turned out. Which is the same feeling I have towards our wedding website. I am in LOVE with it! I worked with a mastermind graphic designer (who did my blog) and I used to work with, and it's just a wordpress site with a new theme and a few adjustments. I LOVE it! He's also going to help design the invitations and I'm so stoked because if I tried to do that, it would turn out horrible.
So that's where we are at for the wedding thus far. I'm pretty sure we're narrowing down photographers and I have a meeting with a florist next week. I guess being an obsessive planner is a good thing sometimes. :)

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today announced that StarTran served more than two million patrons in the 2011-2012 fiscal year ending August 31. It was the first time StarTran hit the two-million mark since 1990. The two millionth rider was Jodi Newman, and she received a prize package from Mayor Beutler and StarTran Advisory Board Chair Kim Phelps at a celebration this morning.
"Two million riders would fill Memorial Stadium 25 times," Beutler said. "By taking the bus instead of a car, the savings they generated in dollars and fuel is significant. Taking public transit instead of driving also prevents pollution from entering the atmosphere. Reaching two million riders is a great accomplishment for StarTran and for our community. I want to thank the StarTran employees for their great work and the patrons who chose to 'get on board.'"
To thank patrons for a successful year, Mayor Beutler announced a five-day sale on 20-ride passes. From September 10 through 14, regular and senior (age 62 and up) 20-ride passes will be $8 (regularly $33). The 20-ride passes for those eligible for Handi-Van Service will be $16 (regularly $66). The passes will be available during regular business hours at the StarTran offices, 710 "J" Street. They also will be sold from noon to 2 p.m. at these locations:
Beutler also reminded the public that new fares go into effect October 1 for the 31-consecutive day passes. The price for regular 31-consecutive day passes will drop from $45 to $17, and the price for 31-consecutive day Handi-Van passes will drop from $90 to $34. Prices for the low-income 31 consecutive day passes remain the same.
"I am pleased we were able to include these new lower fares in the City's first biennial budget so residents can now save even more by riding StarTran," Beutler said. "A new contract with UNL also was approved as part of the budget. We hope that increased student service as well as the lower fares for the 31-consecutive day passes will help us to increase ridership 6 percent this fiscal year." As part of the contract with UNL, StarTran will increase service on the #24 Holdrege route from four to eight buses starting in January 2013.
More information on StarTran, including Bike and Bus and the Big Red Express, is available by calling 402-476-1234 or visiting startran.lincoln.ne.gov.
