iPads are finding their way into the public-sector workplace. Most of these units are likely going to be assigned to a single user or come into an agency as part of a "bring your own device" strategy. But iPads could also be deployed in more public settings, acting as information kiosks, shared control panels or even as a way for government agencies to accept payments.
The problem is that unguarded devices have a tendency to walk away and never come back. They get stolen.
Kensington, a company most people know for securing desktop and laptop computers with a series of physical locking devices, is trying to help iPads move from personal devices to public-facing roles with the addition of extra security features.
Tablets are enabling businesses and agencies to adopt Single Use-Multi User (SUMU) environments. It's also increasingly common for field personnel to use a tablet to record information while out of the office, another form of SUMU. In educational institutions, tablets are used in the classroom or lab environments by students, from elementary school to college. Airports, tradeshows, events and hospitality businesses frequently also use tablets as a kiosk to check in, sign up and to browse services.
"So many technology products today are engineered for the individual versus the shared business environment that we call Single Use-Multi User, or SUMU," said Rob Humphrey, Director Security Products, Global Business Kensington. "It's an area of the market that has a growing demand for solutions that safeguard mobile devices, without inhibiting the efficiency of user interaction in a business setting."
The new Kensington SecureBack M Series of enclosures for iPad enhances the company's existing line of accessories that support business deployments of tablets. Collections range from Kensington's SecureBack Security Cases, Point of Sale Stands, SafeGrip Cases for Education and multiple tablet power products. All of the designs are built to optimize device management across organizations, regardless of size.
The Kensington SecureBack M Series Modular Payment Enclosure for iPad accommodates a host of credit card swipe devices including Square, PayPal, and UniMag II. It's completely compatible with the iPad 2, 3 and 4. It goes on sale this month for $89.99.
The SecureBack M works seamlessly with the ClickSafe lock (sold separately) for security in a click with no keys and no fiddling. It wraps the iPad in a rugged, low profile case that protects it from bumps and scratches. There are even built-in cover plates for the power button and volume control. Like the SecureBack M, the ClickSafe is compatible with the iPad 2, 3 and 4. It will be priced at $69.
The M Series enclosures let users add an adjustable kickstand to keep the iPad standing upright for easier typing and viewing. The Kickstand is rubberized to prevent the iPad from slipping and provides 180 degress of adjustability. The kickstand will sell for $24.

Compared to the global average of 69%, American consumers, including car buyers are 13% more likely to agree that online reviews, including dealership reviews posted by customers, influence their selection of products and retailers, including which car dealer to do business with.
*These statements represent the firm beliefs of the author (Ralph Paglia) and are supported by the data cited in this article and many other reports including research done by Dealer.com and The Cobalt Group.
In fact, the Ipsos results might even underestimate how influential both business (dealership) and product (vehicle) reviews are to Americans. An online survey of 407 US adults by EXPO, also released in December, reveals that 98% of respondents found user-generated reviews helpful when doing online research related to their shopping for all products, including new or used vehicles, and which local retailer (including car dealers) to purchase from.
Returning to the Ipsos results, certain segments of the population appear more reliant on reviews than others. Within the US, women are almost 50% more likely than men to say they very much agree that online reviews and ratings, including car dealership reviews, help them decide which retailer (car dealer) and product (vehicle) to buy (38% vs. 26%). There is also a strong age dynamic at play. Specifically, the 18-34 group is far more likely than the 35-49 and 50-64 sets to very much agree that product and business reviews, including online dealership reviews influence them (44%, 32%, and 19%, respectively). When factoring in those who "somewhat agree," the gaps are less pronounced, with 84% of the 18-34 bracket, 82% of the 35-49 bracket, and 68% of the 50-64 group agreeing at least somewhat that they are influenced by reviews when selecting products and retailers (including car dealerships) to buy from, including make and model of vehicle to purchase.
Influences Vary by Household Income, Education Level
Interestingly, online business (including car dealers) and product reviews appear to be more of an influence to wealthier Americans than to their lower-income counterparts. Survey respondents from high-income households were 23% more likely than those from low-income households to agree (at least somewhat) that online reviews help them decide whether or not to buy a particular product (including vehicles) from a specific retailer, including car dealerships (81% vs. 66%).
Similarly, respondents with a high degree of educational attainment were about 11% more likely than those with a low education level to rely on customer generated online reviews of products and businesses, including both vehicles and car dealerships (83% vs. 75%).
Asians Highly Influenced by Reviews; Europeans Not So Much
The Ipsos study examines the attitudes of consumers across 24 countries, and finds that those most open to being influenced by online reviews are almost all Asian countries. Turkey (a Eurasian country) sports the highest proportion of online consumers agreeing that they rely on product and business reviews, at 92%. That includes an impressive 58% who very much agree that those reviews help them decide which products to buy, and what retailers to buy from. Turkey was the only country in which a majority very much agreed with the influence of product and business reviews – the next highest was India, with 44%.
After Turkey, a high proportion of consumers in South Korea (89%), India (87%), Indonesia (86%), and China (82%) are influenced to some degree by online product and business reviews.
Those high figures contrast with countries at the other end of the spectrum, whose consumers appear to largely ignore online product and business reviews. Those countries – exclusively European – include France (38% at least somewhat agreeing), Belgium (39%), Sweden (43%), and Germany (47%).
Regionally, the Asia-Pacific sports the highest percentage of consumers relying on product and business reviews (80%), while Europe has the least (56%).
Other Findings:
- Reliance on product and business reviews is so high in Turkey that an impressive 79% of business owners surveyed there very much agree that online reviews of a business influence their own purchase decisions.
- In Belgium, just 29% of women surveyed agree at least somewhat that they use product or business reviews to help them make purchase decisions, compared to 49% of Belgian men. That means that American women are almost 3 times as likely as Belgian women (83% vs. 29%) to consider online reviews when making a product purchase or deciding which retailer to make that purchase from.
About the Data: The Ipsos data is based on a weighted sample size of 12,000, from an online survey conducted from October 2-16 across 24 countries, with adults aged 18-64 in the US and Canada, and 16-64 in all other countries. The US data is based on a sample size of 500.

Disabled groups press Obama on minimum wage order
- Under a federal program%2C employers can pay some disabled workers below minimum wage
- Advocates say the disabled should be included in President Obama%27s forthcoming executive order
- Sheltered workshop managers say raising the minimum wage could lead to many disabled losing work
WASHINGTON — With President Obama expected to sign an executive order any day now to raise the minimum wage on new federal contracts, advocates for the physically and intellectually disabled are pressing the White House to include the group among those getting raises.
At his State of the Union Address last month, Obama promised to soon issue an executive order that would hike the minimum for workers on new federal contracts to $10.10 per hour from the current federal rate of $7.25.
The executive action by Obama, who is pressing Congress to pass a minimum wage hike that would cover all workers, could potentially affect tens of thousands of low-wage earners who do janitorial, dish-washing and other tasks for the federal government through contractors.
It remains uncertain whether the executive order will address the issue of disabled workers under a government program that dates to 1938 and allows employers to pay some subminimum wages — sometimes for a fraction of the prevailing minimum wage.
Chester Finn, 58, who is visually impaired and spent six years working in sheltered workshop in western New York, said including the disabled in Obama's forthcoming executive order is simply a matter of fairness.
"We have to be included," said Finn, who serves on the National Council on Disability who works in Albany as an advocate for the intellectually and developmentally disabled. "It's important to have all Americans to get the same chance and the same opportunity. It's important to recognize that the work people are doing is important."
In a conference call with advocates for raising the minimum the day after Obama's State of the Union speech, administration officials suggested that disabled workers on federal contracts employed under section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act would likely see no more than a minimal bump in their pay after the executive order is issued, according to Ari Ne'eman, president of the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, who participated in the call.
Earlier this week, Perez said in an interview on NPR's Diane Rehm Show that 14(c) is "a provision of law which really has worked to the detriment of people with disabilities." He added in the interview that the provision was an issue that the Obama administration officials were examining as it finalizes the executive order.
The Labor Department deferred questions on the executive order to the White House, which did not respond to requests for comment on the matter.
But some advocates for the disabled are trying to keep up the pressure on the administration.
"Mr. President and Secretary Perez, all employees of federal contractors should mean all employees, regardless of disability status," a coalition of disability groups, civil rights groups and unions wrote in a letter to Obama and Perez this week.
Under Section 14 (c), employers can obtain special minimum-wage certificates from the Labor Department. The certificates give employers the right to pay disabled workers, many of whom would have difficulty finding work in the mainstream job market, according to their abilities. For example, if an employee produces 50% of what a non-disabled person produces, then he or she receives 50% of what that person is paid.
About 95% of roughly 420,000 workers employed under 14(c), worked in segregated work environments known as sheltered workshops, performing basic manual work that often pays by the piece. (Advocacy groups estimate fewer than 50,000 work for government contractors.)
Companies participating in the program also receive preference when it comes to federal contract awards and can receive Medicaid funds to pay for support services for the employees. Some states also provide funding to sheltered workshops
Operators of sheltered workshops say that including 14(c) workers in Obama's minimum wage hike would inevitably lead to many disabled people being pushed out of work.
"It would definitely impact us, in the fact that we just couldn't employ those employees who are at the lower spectrum," said Bob Koch, president of the Missouri Association of Sheltered Workshop Managers. "We could probably keep some that perform close to the level of minimum wage. But somebody who is performing at half the level (of minimum wage) or even less, it would be hard to keep them and stay viable very long."
But advocates point to states that have moved away from the sheltered workshop model, most notably Vermont, that have had success transitioning disabled workers to the mainstream work environment and the prevailing wages.
"The argument that is made is the same argument that is made against raising the minimum wage in general: If you require us to pay disabled people the minimum wage, we won't hire disabled people," Ne'eman said. "The fact of the matter is that states that have taken action on subminimum wage, that's not really true."

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — When researchers sequence the RNA of cancer cells, they can compare it to normal cells and see where there is more RNA. That can help lead them to the gene or protein that might be triggering the cancer.
But other than spotting a few known instigators, what does it mean? Is there more RNA because it's synthesizing too quickly or because it's not degrading fast enough? What part of the biological equilibrium is off?
After more than a decade of work, researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a technique to help answer those questions.
The method involves a compound called bromouridine, which can be used to tag or label newly created RNA. Researchers apply the bromouridine for 30 minutes then isolate the RNA to see where the new RNA was made. They call this process Bru-Seq.
On the other hand, the researchers can follow up the bromouridine labeling with a rinse with the chemical uridine for different periods of time. They call this BruChase-Seq because the uridine chases away the newly made RNA so they can look at how the RNA ages over the course of one hour, two hours or six hours. In other words, is the RNA degrading like it's supposed to?
"We can see the whole pattern of all the RNA that's synthesized and all the RNA that's stable vs. degrading. We can sort it out in terms of synthesis and stability and see if a particular RNA is more stable in the cancer cell than the normal cell or if it is taking longer to degrade in the cancer cell than in the normal cell," says study author Mats Ljungman, Ph.D., associate professor of radiation oncology at the U-M Medical School.
"With our technique, we're adding 10-fold more depth to the picture of how genes are expressed," he adds.
Ljungman is part of the Cancer Center's new Translational Oncology Program, which brings together cancer researchers from across the University of Michigan to speed the translation of basic science into clinical trials and new treatment opportunities for patients.
The Cancer Center is currently using gene sequencing techniques to help match advanced cancer patients with potential clinical trial opportunities based on the make-up of their tumor.
In addition to helping with cancer sequencing, Ljungman sees potential for this new technique to help with identifying diseases such as diabetes or inflammation. In the paper describing the technique, published online in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers describe how they used it to understand an inflammatory response in cells. The researchers have also used the technique to test blood samples.
With a great deal more investigation, Ljungman envisions that one day the test could potentially be offered to people visiting their doctor as a way to monitor changes in the RNA.
"If something is significantly changed from one test to the next, it could be a red flag or an early warning sign of disease. That would be the broadest use of this technology," Ljungman says.

I am a big fan of Monk. Tony Shalub acted the part of an Obsessive Compulsive with great skill, as he does all his parts. I will miss the show. However, there is a reality show, based on an Obsessive Compulsive that is absolutely NOT fun to watch.
Jeff Lewis, the lead (gosh, I so want to say 'lead Cretin') of the reality show "Flipping Out" is definitely NOT funny or sympathetic or even bearable to watch
I am not sure if there are levels of Obsessive Compulsive or not. I believe there is because my mother has dealt with it all her life. She has not let it make her a miserable, mean person to deal with. She is considerate and compassionate.
Let's just look at a quote or two from Mr. Lewis.
In discussing an employee, obviously hired (in his mind) as a servant, and who now has her citizenship, he stated:
I have to find a way to get my power back. I used to dial INS and she would… (here he snapped his fingers, as in jump to kiss his behind.)
The next quote:
We're a fast paced office here, you gotta be quick.
This from the man who becomes paralyzed because someone is not carrying his umbrella, for him and to protect him, or a man who becomes less than professional by apologizing for an employee's hair, or spends two hours of his work time sitting and fretting and haranguing another employee because a new employee is late.
Mr. Lewis is not happy until he has that new employee in tears, then he can get back to work.
Frankly, after watching for those fifteen minutes, I am making a new diagnosis. Mr. Lewis is NOT OC, he is sadistic, arrogant and rude. And, I want to know why we are making a tv star/wealthy man out of someone who treats others the way he does. Here we are again, Home flipper/supposed decorator behaving badly. And, you know how I hate those "behaving badly" shows.
I wasted fifteen minutes of my life watching Jeff Lewis make big bucks from a television conglomerate. Frankly, I think they owe me big bucks to give me fifteen minutes of my life back.
The man is an obnoxious turd

Safety & Security Overview
Safety and emergency preparedness is a top priority in District 49. School safety is the responsibility of everyone – students and parents, along with staff and community members. District- and school-level safety and security teams are constantly coordinating with their local law enforcement partners. The district conducts monthly emergency procedure drills, as well as individualized training opportunities with school faculty.
We're constantly auditing our processes for effectiveness and efficiencies, which includes identifying those areas that need improvement. This proactive process helps us ensure that our students can maximize their learning potential within a safe and secure environment.
School safety encompasses multiple domains within the school environment. Each must be reviewed when assessing the level of safety for students and staff. Some components of our assessment process include development and enforcement of policies; procedures for data collection; development of intervention and prevention plans; level of staff development; opportunities for student involvement; level of parent and community involvement; role of law enforcement; standards for safety and security personnel; safety and security of buildings and grounds; and development of emergency response plans.
On this page, we share resources for the opportunity to find out more about how to keep your kids safe and happy.
What's a Lockout or Lockdown?
During a lockout, the perceived danger is outside of the school, like police activity or wild animals. Faculty move students and activities inside and secure the perimeter. While a lockout response elevates situational awareness, it also allows for learning to continue with minimal classroom interruptions. Schools operate daily in a near-lockout status. Perimeter doors are always locked and every visitor is screened at each building's entrance. Visitors use intercom systems to notify front offices of their arrival, and then sign in at the office, or other designated location. Security personnel often greet high school visitors.
During a lockdown, the perceived danger is inside the school. When announced, the standard response protocol is initiated: "Locks, Lights, Out of Sight." Classroom doors are locked, lights are turned off and students are moved away from windows and doors. Teachers encourage students to remain quiet. With barriers to students placed, teachers buy time for police to respond.
Sex Offender Lists Available to Parents
Colorado State Law (CRS 22-1-124) requires that all schools annually notify parents of their rights to access law enforcement agency information concerning registered sex offenders. You may request this list at the law enforcement office governing your address of residency. Additional information can be found at the Colorado Bureau of Investigation's website: www.sor.state.co.us (interactive map).

Hello, I am a student and I'm working on a problem.
I have written other small class and method assignments without a problem, but I'm getting confused as to what's wrong with my code.
I'm doing a simple assignment where I'm asked to create a class, and then populate and display it in another. I can compile without any errors, so it makes it a little harder to troubleshoot.
Here is my code from the first class.
public class PayrollML { private String name; //employee's first and last name private int idNumber; //Employee's ID number private double rate; //Employee's hourly rate private double hours; //employee's hours worked public void setName( String name ) { name = (name != null ? name : "No name" ); } public void setIdNumber( int idNumber ) { idNumber = ( idNumber >=0? idNumber : 0 ); } public void setRate( double rate ) { rate = ( rate >= 0? rate :0 ); } public void setHours( double hours ) { hours = ( hours >= 0? hours : 0 ); } public String getName() { return name; } public int getIdNumber() { return idNumber; } public double getRate() { return rate; } public double getHours() { return hours; } }
Here is the second class to create and instance, populate it and then display the information.
import javax.swing.*; class PayrollMLInput { public static void main( String [] args ) //fill in the information for the employees { String input; String payName; int payIdNumber; double payRate; double payHours; double payGross; //creates an object from the payroll class. PayrollML Payee1 = new PayrollML(); [COLOR="Orange"]// I assume this area is where the problem lies. Setting the data. I cannot tell for sure, since it all compiles without errors.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Please enter employee name."); payName = input; Payee1.setName(payName); input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Please enter employee ID."); payIdNumber = Integer.parseInt(input); Payee1.setIdNumber(payIdNumber); input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Please enter employee rate of pay in dollars per hour."); payRate = Double.parseDouble(input); Payee1.setRate(payRate); input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Please enter employee hours worked."); payHours = Double.parseDouble(input); Payee1.setHours(payHours); payGross = (Payee1.getRate() * Payee1.getHours());[/COLOR] [COLOR="Orange"]//Unless this is the issue and I'm not calling it correctly. Either way, I cannot tell for sure where my error is. To me it looks like I've named the class and parameters correctly.[/COLOR] JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, "Employee is " + Payee1.getName() + "\n" + "Id Number: " + Payee1.getIdNumber() + "\n" + "Makes " + Payee1.getRate() + " Per Hour\n" + "Worked " + Payee1.getHours() + " hours this week\n" + "Earned " + payGross + " dollars"); System.exit(0); } }
When I run the second program, after all the JOptionPane promts are completed, I get nulls and zero's for the displayed data.
Any help in pointing out my error would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Libor manipulation is rearing its ugly head again. In the latest infraction, UBS will pay $1 billion to settle allegations that it manipulated Libor, according to various reports.
The Financial Times and other publications reported Thursday that the news about UBS' settlement will likely be made public on Monday.
As it stands now, "up to 10 authorities around the world are investigating potential manipulation of the rate in a probe that has embroiled around 20 banks and interdealer brokers," the Financial Times reported. "The first arrests in the investigation were made this week by the U.K. authorities. One of the arrested men, Tom Hayes, used to work for UBS."
UBS' settlement is expected to involve four regulators, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.K. Financial Services Authority and the Swiss regulator FINMA, which is UBS' primary supervisor, according to the Financial Times.
All four are expected to receive some sort of monetary settlement–although FINMA cannot extract fines, it can demand that companies give up ill-gotten gains, the Times reported.
A fine in excess of $1 billion would be more than double the record penalty paid by Barclays, which settled the authorities' Libor investigation in June by paying $450 million, the Times said.
The Financial Times reported that UBS "also won partial immunity from regulators by coming with information. The Swiss bank was one of the first to launch an internal investigation into the matter after authorities requested information in 2009."
The UBS settlement will shed a light on the "alleged manipulation of the yen-denominated Libor interest rate in particular," people close to the situation told the Times.
A $1 billion fine would cap a year that has seen UBS' compliance issues put under public scrutiny, including a rogue-trading incident that lost the bank $2.3 billion, the Financial Times reported. "The bank was fined nearly £30m last month by the FSA over the incident, while the trader at the heart of the scandal, Kweku Adoboli, was sentenced to seven years in prison for perpetrating the biggest bank fraud in British history."

Warning: strong language (I'm really angry and this frustration needs to be aired and well, since this is my piece of the world, I get to say what I think, right?)
A few months ago, when I decided to move away from the blonde curls that I had and the red I had done at Urban Roots had faded considerably, I picked up the L'Oreal Feria in Mango Intense Copper, which is a gorgeous orange paprika mango ginger and I have been using it ever since (not just because I get tons of compliments on the colour, I really REALLY love the colour too).
But very recently L'Oreal started changing the packaging of the Feria range, promising it's the same shades, just a different packaging. So when I was due repainting my regrowth (especially my blossoming grey hairs), I very happily snatched up the #74 Mango Intense Copper like I have done before. I truly believed that they had only changed the packaging – I mean, why would they change the formula, right? And why would they say on the box it's the same formula/product if it wasn't – 'cause that'd be false advertisement. I believed them.
BOY WAS I WRONG! L'Oreal are really full of sh!t! First of all, the product has now some sort of oil additive that I don't remember having to add into the mix before application with the old products. That was the first clue. Or maybe I just have bad memory (well I am kinda known for that) – but I was distracted with the fancy black gloves (can you tell I'm easily distracted?).
I applied the colour as normal and waited 30min for it to develop, washed it out, conditioned it, threw some Awapul hair oil and Tresemme Salon Sleek spray on and started blowdrying my hair when I first noticed how much redder rather than ginger my hair was!! Same shade my ass! L'Oreal Feria definitely changed the formula because my hair is redder rather than ginger and that REALLY pisses me off!! I LOVED LOVED LOVED that ginger colour and now I have to go and find a new perfect ginger….
You might say "But, Maria, this colour is pretty, I don't understand what all this fuss is about?!" and I tell you:
"Yes, I know, it's a pretty colour, but I've been every shade of red in my life and I was really, really excited to have found a colour that suits me, that I get compliments for, that not everyone has AND that isn't red! I'm very precious about my hair and very picky, I've been through so many different colours in my life and I would've happily stuck with this colour for another few months at least (maybe with the variation of darker/lighter tips)! So maybe that explains why I'm so bloody annoyed at L'Oreal?"
Why oh why, L'Oreal, would you claim in big letters on your (less than impressive) new packaging, that it's the same product just with different packaging when i's so VERY CLEARLY not the case and you have mucked about with the formulas?! WHY CHANGE WHAT WORKS?! Why don't you go and spend your R&D money on, oh I don't know, the gazillionth shampoo & conditioner or whatever!! GRRRRRRRR
Ever found your perfect product and then the company went and changed it all?

Tobacco: The Sovereign Herb
From its early beginnings as the first profitable crop in the New World to today's popular cigar bars and class action lawsuits against industry giants, tobacco has held a prominent, if controversial, role in our nation's history. John Rolfe first experimented with the plant in the Virginia soil in 1612 and soon had an easy commodity to ship to England to meet the high demand. By 1630 tobacco exports to England climbed to 500,000 pounds and by the end of the century exceeded 20 million pounds. Tobacco became so plentiful and integral to the economy that it was sometimes used as currency in the colonies. However, planters in the Chesapeake area were faced with several obstacles. Because it's a high-maintenance crop, tobacco played an instrumental role in the growth of slavery in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern states. Furthermore, the plant depleted the soil, forcing planters to diversify and rotate crops frequently.
Tobacco can be, and was, used in various forms in its notorious history. The colonists mostly smoked it in pipes, while those with aristocratic backgrounds or leanings copied the European habit of pinching snuff. In the early 19th century, keeping with the democratic ideals of the new republic, Americans perceived chewing tobacco as more patriotic than pinching snuff.
The latter half of the 19th century witnessed another shift in tobacco use. People now began to puff on cigars as a symbol of prosperity in the Gilded Age. This era also saw the establishment of large corporations that could manufacture tobacco products cheaply and quickly with the aid of new machinery. Although cigarettes were introduced at this time, they did not catch on with smokers until the 20th century, when they reflected the urbanized, fast-paced lifestyle of America.
Besides the many types and brands of tobacco exist the varieties of accoutrements and pipes. Tobacco use in its many forms created a market for such items as snuffboxes and spoons, spit boxes and spittoons. A smoker could choose from an ordinary clay pipe or a water pipe to cool and purify the smoke.
Despite its extensive use, opposition to tobacco began to form. The antitobacco movement, following on the heels of the temperance movement, warned people of the dangers of tobacco as early as 1830. This conflict has only intensified throughout the 20th century with government regulation of the industry and increased scientific warnings against its use, along with widespread availability of tobacco products.

Set on a sunny plateau, Alpbach is an idyllic chocolate-box village centred around its baroque church. It is considered one of the prettiest villages in Austria. The German ADAC Skiguide chose the Alpbach Valley as the best ski resort in the category of "Small is Beautiful" in 2009.
Skiing in Alpbach ticks lots of boxes for beginners: nursery slopes are easily accessed above the village church; a good choice of gentle runs; sunny conditions so you don't get cold falling over; ski schools have an excellent reputation; and plenty of non-skiing activities so you can take a break from the slopes.
The Alpbach Valley is located in the Kitzbühel Alps in northeast Tyrol, close to the German border. The Alpbach ski area (1,000-2,030m) comprises 54 kilometres of groomed runs served by 21 modern lifts.
Ski lessons
With the help of qualified instructors of the three ski schools in the Alpbach Valley, you'll get the principles of skiing quickly mastered.
Alpbach Aktiv ski school encourages beginners to take lessons five days straight. The lessons take place from Sunday to Thursday and run four hours a day with an hour's break for lunch; €155 total cost. If you prefer one-on-one contact with your instructor, consider private lessons: a four-hour private lesson costs €155, then you pay €15 for each additional day. Children from 3 years old can visit Frosty's Snow World, directly below the mountain station for half- or full-day ski lessons (at level classified) for groups of up to six. The ski school also organises a ski race every Thursday and other fun activities at the end of the sessions. Book online to benefit from discount.
Ski and Snowboard School Alpbach-Inneralpbach offers five-day group lessons starting Sunday or Monday) for €145 or €175 private one-day lesson. Specialist lessons include special deep snow courses, seniors-only lessons, and mono-ski school of disabled learners. Kids can head to BoBo's Kinder Club.
Ski School Reith in Alpbach is also ideal for kids, offering a free trial ski lesson and on Thursdays it's the children's ski race with music and barbecue. There are also pony rides and children's discos regularly organized. Rates for adults: €145 for five days' of lessons; private one-day €175. The Reith school also offers night-skiing lessons, which can be an exciting first-time experience.
This year skiresort.de chose the Alpbach Valley among the best ski resort for night-skiing, which takes place on six floodlit pistes on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. An evening ticket costs €15.
Long, wide runs
Skiing in Alpbach offers 15 kilometres of beginner slopes and 34 kilometres of intermediate. Once you've got your ski legs, take the family down the four-kilometre "family Inneralpbach descent" - the longest run in Alpbach. From the mountain station of the ski Pöglbahn, take run number 8 - follow the wide slopes lined with pine trees, cruising or carving, all the way down to the valley. The Reitherkogel run is also ideal for beginners and skiing families.
You'll find plenty of long, wide runs on the Wiedersbergerhorn, such as the blue slope 13a to Muldenlift (I), or the more slightly advanced number 4 to the Gmahbahn (B) or further down to the middle station of the Wiedersbergerhorn Bahn. Kramsach and Brandenberg also offer fine broad, flat pistes for beginners.
Beginners' funpark
The funpark on the Wiedersbergerhorn is popular with beginners for its beginner kicker line with a 2x3-metre box. The Alpbach Aktiv ski school offers special training sessions in the funpark, called "funpark parties". Get guidance in developing balance and agility, and learning the basic techniques such as grinding and getting air. During the peak season it costs €50 for four hours.
Non-skiing activities
Alpbach offers a variation of non-skiing activities at your fingertips. The Alpbach Seenland Card will be handed to you at your hotel and offers many extras such as free access to the pool in Alpbach, the tennis court Kramsach, and ice rinks Reith and Alpbach. In total, you'll find eight toboggan runs in the Alpbach too. Night sledding is great fun in Brandenberg or in the Alpbach Bischoferjoch.
The ski season in the Alpbach Valley runs from early December to mid April. Fly to Innsbruck, Salzburg or Munich - from there either hire a car or take the train. The nearest stations are Brixlegg or Rattenberg.

The Pyramids
Some Important Facts About The Pyramids:
1) The Pyramids number Mark Cleveland and Sam Windett, two members of The Archie Bronson Outfit who, during the long sessions for their remarkable second album, Derdang Derdang, felt a craving to crank out some instantaneous, lightning-in-a-bottle rock'n'roll, a dirtier, cheaper, nastier confection than that purveyed by the Archies. Thus, The Pyramids were born.
2) The Pyramids work quickly. The songs for their spirited, sulphurous debut were written in a single weekend, observing The Pyramids' hunger for the moment. The takes captured on the album were often the duo's second or third run through the song in question; ''We wanted to capture that raw, new feeling you get when a band are just getting a feel for the song,'' explains Mark, ''that unique energy'' And capture it, they did.
3) The Pyramids take time over their words, however. ''We had the lyrics first, to use as a framework for the music,'' explains Mark. Moreover, their bitter, chill poetics add another layer of spook to The Pyramids' chaotic, motorik clank; the words to 'White Disc Of Sun' in particular will haunt you hours, days after you've first heard them.
4) Not only are The Pyramids fine musicians, they also know how to build a studio. The album was recorded in a friend's barn, where they set up their instruments, their amps and their microphones in one corner of the room, and a 16-track recording desk in the opposite corner. With producer Hed helming the decks, the studio was formed of just one room for simplicity and noise spill, with all the psychedelic clatter being captured by the microphones swinging from the barn's rafters, hovering just above the melee.
5) The Pyramids' name is not a tribute to the great architectural feats of ancient Egypt, but rather the more earthbound (but no less great) legacy of the original garage rockers, haywire young individuals hopped up on any number of primitive stimulants, cranking out cacophonic and chaotic riffs in carports across suburban America. Think The Monks, The Sonics, The Mummies... In nomenclature and noise, The Pyramids certainly fit that lineage. ''I'm sure there was a group called The Pyramids, back in the day,'' muses Mark. ''That was definitely the sort of connection we were going after.''
6) The Pyramids may perform live in the near future, as soon as they have recruited a third member to accompany them. One can only imagine the chaos songs like the Neanderthal, unhinged 'Hunch Your Body, Love Somebody' will wreak upon audience members at the shows.
7) The Pyramids are not a one-off affair. Mark and Sam fully intend to record another album, again sticking to the brash, breathless first-take ethos of their debut.

Woman in Geoff Fox scandal appears on 'Dr. Phil' but reveals little
The woman at the center of the Geoff Fox online sex scandal took her turn on the national media stage Wednesday morning with an appearance on the nationally syndicated "Dr. Phil" television program, but spent little time talking about what happened or her motivation for doing the interview.
New York City-based photographer Zoel Kennedy spent only about five minutes of a half-hour segment of the program, which was taped a week earlier in Los Angeles, talking about her salacious online exchange with Fox. The meteorologist, who lost his job on WTIC Fox 61 after his bosses became aware of the incident, was never mentioned by name during the interview, which aired in Connecticut on WTNH-TV, another one of Fox's former employers.
Fox has declined comment on Kennedy's appearance on the program.
Kennedy and the show's host, Phil McGraw, spent the remainder of her segment on the show talking about how the scandal affected her relationship with her daughter, Kayla.
Kayla, whose last name was not mentioned on the show, appeared with her mother, with whom she was reunited two months ago after being raised by her father for 19 years.
Kennedy told McGraw and her daughter during the segment that she had other things from her past that she hadn't told her daughter about.
"I lived on the streets for a number of years, made money off the streets for a number of years," she said without elaborating on what she did to make money.
McGraw later insinuated during Kennedy's segment that either he or his staff had done online research about her past that goes well beyond the Fox scandal.
"I know a lot about you," he told Kennedy without explaining to his audience what additional information he might have about her.
Kennedy told the New Haven Register last week in a series of text messages that she had been "compensated" for her appearance on "Dr. Phil." But she did not elaborate on whether that compensation involved just travel and hotel expenses for her trip to Los Angeles for the taping of the show or if it also included some kind of payment for doing the interview.
The first half-hour of the program was devoted to John Bolaris, another former television weatherman whose career appears to have ended in scandal.
Bolaris lost his job at Philadelphia television station WTXF earlier this year as a result of a 2010 incident in which he claimed he was drugged by two Russian women while on vacation in Miami and then had nearly $43,000 charged to his American Express card. Prior to appearing on "Dr. Phil," Bolaris had done interviews on an ABC network news program as well as with "Playboy" magazine about the incident.

If you're using whole-milk plain yogurt instead of lebneh, you'll have to allow extra time (at least 8 hours) for draining.
Active time: 20 min Start to finish: 50 min
- Yield
- Makes 6 side-dish servings
- 1/2 cup lebneh* (thick Middle Eastern–style yogurt) or 1 cup whole-milk plain yogurt
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 to 4 tablespoons water
- 2 lb eggplant (2 medium), cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Garnish: fresh mint leaves
- If using whole-milk plain yogurt, drain in a paper-towel-lined sieve set over a bowl, covered and chilled, 8 to 12 hours.
- Mince garlic and mash to a paste with a pinch of salt, then transfer to a bowl. Whisk in lebneh or drained yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and enough water to make mixture resemble well-stirred sour cream.
- Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on moderately high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.
- Brush eggplant slices generously with oil on both sides and sprinkle with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Grill slices on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over occasionally, until eggplant is tender, 12 to 15 minutes total. Transfer as cooked to a platter, arranging slices in 1 layer. Put a spoonful of yogurt mixture on each eggplant slice and top with a mint leaf.
Cooks' note:
If you aren't able to grill outdoors, eggplant can be cooked in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderate heat, turning over occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes total, or broiled in a shallow baking pan (4 to 6 inches from heat), turning over occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes total. * Available at Middle Eastern markets.
