Chrysler releases a Powermat-like system in Dodge Dart to charge devices wirelessly
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Corporate News, Handhelds, Transportation
Chrysler recently announced that it will be offering wireless in-vehicle charging stations for your mobile devices. For $200 bucks you can clear your car of messy wires that clutter it, while charging your smartphone. The forthcoming Dodge Dart will be the first of vehicles to feature the "Powermat-like" technology. The car is set to hit dealer lots this summer, and is offering a great alternative to the compact car market.
The power bin is integrated into the cars center consoles, measuring about 8-inches x 9-inches x 3-inches deep. The grid becomes activated when your device is dropped in and shuts off when your device is removed. However, there is a small catch to the system, like the Powermat, Chrysler's system too calls for a special case to be used in conjunction with its power bin. The case is included with the power bin package.

Parks and Gardens in Lima
Lima was for a long time and unfortunately for some visiting the country still is an unavoidable must on their way to other treasures and attractions Peru has to offer. Lima is ill-reputed as a bustling, dirty, dangerous, unfriendly and unattractive city. This general judgment isn't really fair. Over the last few years the municipality of the Lima with the different district municipalities put great efforts into enhancing the urban image by cleaning and shaping up not only streets and buildings but as well by remodeling Lima's old parks and creating some new green areas.
Today you can find many great parks in Lima, some well-known others hidden, some big and full of history others tiny. Anyhow if you need a place to relax, have a picnic lunch in a peaceful environment, have some fun or just want to take a break from Lima's everyday life, there are some really nice places to do that.

The Parque de la Reserva was originally opened in 1929 to commemorate all the civilian reservists who fought in the defence of Lima during the War of the Pacific. But more than 65 years later Parque de la Reserva became one of Lima's most visited tourist attractions and houses today a water and light show called the Circuito Magico del Agua (The Magic Water Circuit).
Adjacent to downtown Lima you find the Parque de la Exposición, also known as Parque de la Cultura or Gran Parque de Lima, an oasis of peace and tranquility amidst Lima's noisy and hectic hustle and bustle. Enjoy the Museo de Arte with its beautiful gardens, numerous pavilions, theaters and stages, restaurants and food vendors, monuments, fountains and a Japanese garden.
The olive grove "El Olivar" is probably San Isidro's most valuable treasure. The colonial olive tree plantation stands for the colonial and republican history and serves also as a green lung for the heavy polluted Lima. In and around the park are the municipal government, the famous library, an art gallery, the lagoon and beautiful mansions from the beginning of the 20th century.
The Parque de la Amistad is the great park in Santiago de Surco, a popular place with young and old. One of the main attractions is an original steam locomotive from 1926 and the copy of a Spanish Arc, the "Arco de la Amistad". The Friendship Park is a great place to relax in a beautiful surrounding with lots of green and an artificial lagoon.
Parque de la Muralla (Park of the Wall) is located behind the San Francisco Church directly at the banks of the River Rimac. In this park remains of the old city wall were unearthed. Today you can see around 300 meters of the nicely restored city wall. The small on-site museum displays pieces and artifacts found during the excavation and explains the history of the wall.
Just a few blocks from Plaza San Martin is the Parque Universitario (the University Park). Named after the National University of San Marcos that resided in the large mansion behind the park, the University Park with its famous tower is worth a visit to relax on one of the nice benches and feel a part of Peruvian history.
Lima is one of the few metropolises in the world that has within its city limits a natural reserve with an extraordinary biodiversity. These unique wetlands extent over an area of 263ha and are the only protected area within Limas city limits. The marshes are an important ecological area not only for local flora and fauna but also for scientific, educative and recreational reason.
Campo de Marte is one of Lima's biggest parks, a green lung for the district of Jesus Maria and whole Lima. Campo de Marte is a great place to chill out, relax or have fun. You find lots of green ideal for a nice picnic or just to enjoy the sun, soccer fields, tennis courts, a pool and a skate park. Parades and public assemblies are held at the Campo de Marte.
The Parque de las Leyendas is Lima's traditional zoo. But it's much more than that. It is located amidst a big part of Lima's most extensive ancient city and is one of the most important pre-Hispanic complexes at the central Peruvian coast called the Archaeological Complex of Maranga. The Botanical Garden within the park has more than 20ha of green areas and is one of the biggest in Peru.
The Reducto No. 2 Park was established at exactly the place where the Peruvian army and poorly armed militias under General Andrés Avelino Cácares set up to defend Lima from the invading Chilean troops during the War of the Pacific. The park houses next to green spaces a small museum, dedicated to General Andrés Avelino Cácares.
The Parque Ecologico Loma Amarilla is a natural land elevation with approx. 7.5 hectares, composed of flagstone. The park is a nice place to relax, wander around or enjoy the beautiful gardens and of course the small waterfall.
Parque Central and Parque Kennedy unite to one big park in the heart of Miraflores. At daytime it's a beautiful place to have a little break and enjoy yourself. Here you find the Municipality of Miraflores, the main church "Virgen Milagrosa", a small information point, a playground for the little ones and some nice restaurants and street cafes.
The Love Park is entirely dedicated to all lovers and offers a stunning view over the bay of Lima. It's really romantic here at sunrise and sunset. The surrounding walls are artfully decorated with mosaics. In the center of Parque del Amor you find the statue "El Beso" (The Kiss) from Victor Delfín. It shows two lovers united in an intimate kiss.
Named after the great Peruvian aviator Alfredo Salazar the park located in Miraflores directly at the cliff offers a stunning view over the Pacific Ocean. On clear days you can see the whole bay of Lima from Chorrillos and Barranco in the south to Callao with its islands in the north. Built into the cliffs is the famous "Centro Comercial Larcomar".
The Parque Raimondi in Miraflores is one of the new big park at the cliffs. Parque Raimondi, named after the famous Italian-born Peruvian explorer, scientist, writer, cartographer and naturalist has of course a stunning view over the Pacific Ocean. There are huge green areas with flowers and trees, some artificial hills, a cycling path and a playground for kids that promise a relaxing afternoon.

Google and Samsung Unveil New Chromebooks
Samsung just unveiled two new Chrome OS devices, computers that run Google's Chrome operating system. One, like its predecessors, is a laptop design — a.k.a. "Chromebook" — while the other is a "Chromebox," which is meant to be paired with a monitor.
Google says the new Series 5 Chromebook run up to three times faster than the first generation of Chromebooks that Google released last year. The new devices support hardware-accelerated graphics, and the Series 5 has a "built-from-scratch" touchpad that's said to have a much faster response time.
Chromebooks are meant to be simple, yet nimble machines focused on everyday productivity tasks like web browsing and email, with a price to match. In keeping with that philosophy, both the new laptop and Chromebox are powered by Intel's entry-level Celeron processors, with 4GB of RAM and 16GB of solid-state storage. Google says it boots up in seven seconds and resumes "instantly."
The Chrome OS emphasizes constant connectivity, but Google is making the Chromebooks more usable when a connection is unavailable. Google Drive is integrated with the Chromebooks' file system, and Google says it's going to roll out offline support for the service over the next few weeks. It also says many of the apps in the Chrome Web Store are offline-capable as well.
There's also a revamped media player and photo editor. And Chrome Remote Desktop (in beta) lets you use your Chromebook to securely connect to your Mac or PC, simulating the desktop experience in Chrome OS.
The new Series 5 Chromebook comes in WiFi+3G and WiFi-only versions (as a non-mobile device, the Chromebox is WiFi-only). The new Chromebook's screen is 12.1 inches, and the Chromebox can connect to up to two 30-inch external displays. Two USB ports are on the Chromebook, while the Chromebox boasts six.
The WiFi-only Series 5 Chromebook costs $450, while the WiFi+3G version is $550. The Chromebox is $330.
What do you think of Samsung's new Chrome OS devices? Yay or Nay? Sound off in the comments.

Senecas commend initial Select Committee hearing
We recently testified at the first meeting of the New York State Senate Select Committee on State-Native American Relations. A forum of this nature has long been missing in the state capitol. This new committee embodies what Senator George Maziarz and the other senators who serve on this committee recognize is the urgent need for a productive dialogue between the State of New York and the Indian Nations and tribes located within the state.
For too long, New York State's leaders made decisions that impacted the Seneca and other native peoples without having an adequate understanding of our history, our culture, and our sovereign and treaty rights. We see the work of the Select Committee as an important first step in a dialogue to change this state of affairs.
The Seneca people have lived in what is today known as western New York for thousands of years. In just a few decades, we have made ourselves into the fifth largest employer in the region. Today, we have a $1.1 billion economy that supplies nearly 6,000 good-paying jobs providing full benefits. We have invested some $900 million in construction projects over the last nine years.
We are proud of the significant contribution in the form of millions of dollars that the Seneca Nation and our business enterprises contribute to the western New York economy. These dollars circulate in western New York, and for the most part stay in the region.
We told the Select Committee of the need for greater leadership in economic development efforts. That is why earlier this year the Seneca Nation of Indians invited a number of public-sector and quasi-public-sector economic development groups from Western New York and Pennsylvania to meet to discuss how we can work collaboratively on our economic development goals. We recognize that outreach and collaboration are the keys to success.
The Seneca Nation has recently begun a long-term effort to diversify our economy -- we understand that tobacco and gaming are not future growth industries on which we can rely solely. We also recognize that we are not an island. We will continue to be a catalyst for economic growth in the region. A financially and economically vibrant Seneca Nation of Indians benefits the region as a whole. With the right partners, we can grow together.
Our past and future are in western New York. The western New York business community is beginning to understand the unique attributes and opportunities for partnership that the Seneca Nation and our businesses bring to the table. We all want the tide to rise, and to lift all boats.
We hope that the Regional Economic Development Councils will recognize this as well, and that they will reach out to and work with the Indian Nations and tribes within their respective areas.
We have always been here and are not going anywhere. Unlike some national and multi-national corporations, we will never relocate outside of the region and most of our revenues and profits are spent or re-invested within it. We are committed to this area like no other. We hope that New York State's leaders recognize this, and also recognize that the Seneca are hard-wired toward diplomacy, and communication should not be reserved for times of conflict. A more formal State-Indian relationship can not only help avoid conflicts, it can lead to cooperation and collaboration, and -- perhaps -- opportunity.
Let us hope that the historic first steps of the Senate's Select Committee on State-Native American Relations is the beginning of a long and productive dialogue the will benefit Indians and non-Indians alike.
By David Kimelberg and Richard Nephew. Richard Nephew is a citizen of the Seneca Nation of Indians and Chairman of the Seneca Nation's Council. David Kimelberg is a citizen of the Seneca Nation of Indians and the CEO of Seneca Holdings LLC, the investment arm of the Seneca Nation.

Cueto cool with not pitching in All-Star Game
MINNEAPOLIS -- Reds ace Johnny Cueto certainly had the numbers to start for the National League in Tuesday's All-Star Game. But because he pitched for his team Sunday against the Pirates, Cueto bowed out and will have to be a spectator instead. Teammate Alfredo Simon took his place.
Cueto had no hard feelings about not being able to pitch.
"It doesn't bother me," Cueto said Monday through translator Tomas Vera. "I pitched yesterday. It was my job. I came here to enjoy it. I came here to have fun. This isn't going to be my first time. I'm going to have a chance to pitch in the All-Star Game again."
Cueto is second in the NL with a 2.13 ERA, first with 143 2/3 innings, a .181 opponents' batting average and a 0.89 WHIP and tied for first with three complete games.
Now Cueto is looking forward to watch other players having strong season take part.
"I want to enjoy this. This is amazing," he said. "I never expected this amount of friends here, this amount of people. One thing I always wanted to watch was the Home Run Derby. I've watched it on TV. Now I'm going to be there in the first row watching the Home Run Derby. I'm going to enjoy that."

Throughout Europe's sovereign debt crisis, Greece has garnered most of the headlines. But now, the big two – Spain and Italy – are in the news and it's not good.
The European Central Bank (ECB) has spent $1.31 trillion dollars trying to keep bond yields in the over-indebted countries like Spain and Italy from skyrocketing. But as of late, borrowing costs have been marching higher.
Spanish 10-year government yields have risen above 6% for the fourth time in the last year.
Short-term borrowing costs for Italy rose at government bond auctions in mid-April. Yields on 2.5 notes maturing in March 2015 jumped to 3.89% from 2.76% at the previous March 14 auction.
Spanish and Italian banks armed with money from the ECB have been snapping up the bulk of newly issued government debt along with other government bonds being sold by foreigners. This strategy has been referred to as the "Sarkozy carry trade" – named after France's President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The central theory behind the "Sarkozy carry trade" is to lend local banks money that can in turn lend money to cash-strapped governments. All of this was meant to buy the government more time to clean up its financial act.
But since Spanish and Italian banks have burned through most of the money they borrowed from the ECB, it leaves their respective governments vulnerable to funding shortfalls. According to recent estimates, Spain has less than half of what it needs to borrow through the rest of 2012. Italian banks similarly are short on capital.
European stocks inside the Vanguard MSCI Europe ETF (VGK) are ahead by 7.65% this year and have largely ignored sovereign debt woes in the region. In a similar vein, the CurrenyShares Euro Trust (FXE), which is linked to the performance of the euro, has eked out a calm 1.99% gain.
In Europe's banking sector, the iShares MSCI Europe Financials Index Fund (EUFN) has lost almost 30% in value over the past year. EUFN is still holding onto a 8.57% year-to-date gain, but a shortage of capital for banks is jeopardizing gains in bank shares. Bearish bets on the euro via the ProShares UltraShort Euro (EUO) and the ProShares UltraShort MSCI Europe ETF (EPV) have resulted in year-to-date losses of 5.11% and 19.14%, respectively. While bearish bets on the euro and European stocks hasn't paid off just yet, patient bears are waiting this one out.
To stave off Europe's ongoing crisis, it's almost a given the ECB will be forced into another round of massive loans. Put another way: The more things change in Europe, the more they stay the same.

Often times we end up learning a lot ourselves! The upcoming celebration for Cinco de Mayo is a holiday which gives us many opportunities to learn about Mexico's rich history and culture. It's also a great time to have conversations in Spanish and learn new vocabulary.

Here is the "speed bump" that caused the fall.
A chalk outline of Ryan Braun at the "scene of the crime" between third and home at Miller Park. Hilarious!
I spoke to Braun this morning. The good news? All that is injured is his pride.
A loose team is a good team!

The drummer Jimmy Cobb is 84 — which, even if you didn't know his name, would signal that he's been around the jazz scene for a while. But he's been more than around: He was the drummer when Miles Davis recorded his late-'50s and early-'60s masterpieces, and then toured with Sarah Vaughan for nearly a decade. He's freelanced with just about every great of his generation. He's still touring around the world, these days often fronting the bands and recordings.
Cobb brings an international trio to New York's Village Vanguard for a week — and, for one night, welcomes trusted tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson. WBGO and NPR Music presented a live video webcast and radio broadcast of that quartet.
Set List
- "My Shining Hour" (Arlen/Mercer)
- "John Paul Jones [aka 'Trane's Blues']" (J. Coltrane)
- "If I Were A Bell" (F. Loesser)
- "You Don't Know What Love Is" (de Paul/Raye)
- "Bolivia" (C. Walton)
- "Someday My Prince Will Come" (Churchill/Morey)
Jimmy Cobb, drums
Javon Jackson, saxophone
Tadataka Unno, piano
Paolo Benedettini, bass
Josh Jackson, Host and Producer
David Tallacksen, Music Mix
Jeremy Stirone, Assistant

Frequently Asked Questions - German Shepherd Dog Breed
I know I have not been posting much here. I am not actually getting enough time to update my personal site. Well, I think I put some really good stuff in Welcome Dog Lovers. Hope, you will be helped. I have been getting mails for not maintaining proper pace here. Okay... here's something that the German Shepherd lovers will really love to read. I think this post is going to help you in ways!
Many a times I get calls from unknown people looking for a good companion, but confused as to whether they should go for a German Shepherd Dog or not.

Well, I don't mind receiving such calls... I can spend centuries talking about dogs.

Have Americans made God in their image?
If you play a word association game with "God," Americans might respond with "unchanging," "eternal," or "forever." But what if America's perception of God is always changing with their whims and wishes and cultural proclivities?
Matthew Paul Turner, popular blogger and author, is raising this question in his new book, Our Great Big American God: A Short History of Our Ever-Growing Deity. He argues that we have made God "like a naked paper doll, one that free individuals could and would dress up into whatever Americanized deity they liked." Here, we discuss this concept, who he believes has shaped it, and why he predicts God will "grow" in America.
RNS: What is the "American God," and how is it uniquely American?
MPT: The American God is God as perceived by Americans. Which means America's God comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and doctrines and his Americanized traits vary according to individuals, groups, denominations, sects, even geographies. This isn't a new trend, rather our historical narrative suggests it is something we've been doing since the very beginning. Americans' habit of affecting, reimagining, shaping, and changing God's story started with the Puritans. And it has evolved according to the needs and events happening among America's people
RNS: Who are some of the people who've most shaped the American perception of God?
MPT: Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, Pheobe Palmer, Cyrus Ingerson Scofield just to name a few.
For example, Whitefield, the father of evangelicalism and likely America's first "celebrity," was known for his savvy, almost performance-style, preaching and for also introducing Americans to God's desire for them to be reborn. The popularity of Whitefield and his "new birth" gospel, specifically his love of liberty, became a mighty foundation, some believe by accident, on which to build an American revolution. Palmer, though criticized by many for being a woman who preached, blazed her own trail–one that became known as America's Holiness Movement. And as the Mother of Holiness, Palmer set the groundwork for another movement, one that began thirty-something years after her death, one that, in the early 1900s, aroused the streets of Los Angeles with Holy Spirit fire. That "fire" was Pentecostalism.
RNS: What do you think makes the American God problematic?
MPT: God was never meant to be a nationalized deity. The very idea that God would showcase geographical favorites or advance the kingdom of one at the expense of another or several others goes against many of Jesus's basic teachings. Moreover, our relationship with God has caused a large majority of America's Christians to posses an elitist attitude or worldview, at times even imperialistic. Rather than humility, mercy, and redemption, God seems to have made us controlling, know-it-alls, materialistic, and far too certain of what God thinks about political, social, and spiritual issues.
Throughout our history we've branded God into a deity that works for us, one that mixes well with American values, one that agrees with our wars, and one who not only adheres to our way of life, in many cases, our way of life is God's ideal, which we often suggest is one of the reasons he blesses us with prosperity. The biggest issue perhaps is that many of us are so comfortable with our American God, so certain of his ways, that to believe that we might be wrong is impossible.
RNS: I quoted you in an article I wrote recently on the Christian music industry's shifting views on sexuality. Do you think American evangelicals have done a poor job articulating their position in the past?
MPT: No, not at all. Evangelicals have articulated quite well exactly what they think about homosexuality. We've preached it, put it on billboards, theologized it. Evangelicalism's rage against homosexuality is probably one of their more successful campaigns. I doubt you could find too many Americans who couldn't recite word for word the slogans that Christians have boasted toward the LGBTQ communities. For fifty or more years, much of America's Church has gone to great lengths to push an entire group of people out of the church, out of God's story. We've communicated little more than "You do not belong."
RNS: Do you think American Christians are homophobic or hateful?
MPT: Not as a rule, no. None of us are born homophobic, though many have likely met a few people who make us question that. But I don't believe that it should be assumed that Christians are homophobic or hateful, not until those things are experienced. That said, there is seemingly something about the homosexual topic that makes many Jesus-loving people turn into angry, mean, insensitive people incapable of treating those with whom they disagree with respect and kindness.
RNS: You predict that God will "grow" in America. Explain.
MPT: I predict that God will grow because God is always growing here in the United States. We're constantly adding new ideas, new connecting points, new theories, new practices, and new product lines to the God equation. These ideas and products don't necessarily become universally accepted among all of America's Christians, but they do find a following and add to the story of God, often fattening up Americans's perceptions about the divine. And because of the Internet and social media, God is growing faster than ever before. We not only hear about these new and sometimes strange ideas that people have about God, but if we like them, we can actually connect with and find a community of people who like and believe them, too. So I suspect this trend will continue.

1966 Ford Mustang - Project '66 - Steering Wheel
Part Of Our Deluxe Interior Conversion, A Woodgrain Steering Wheel Is A Must
Step By StepView Photo Gallery
Walking around the Carlisle All-Ford Nationals show grounds last year, I was giddy with excitement. I had bought a '66 hardtop just three weeks prior, and I knew there were going to be certain things that I had to find while I was at Carlisle to aid in the restoration project. Since we were going to replicate my old '66 hardtop with this new project car, I knew then that it had to have a Deluxe interior, which meant a total conversion. Getting the seats re-covered--which we accomplished in the Feb. 2000 issue--and other items would be no more difficult to find than opening your favorite catalog. But the Deluxe woodgrain wheel--oh, no--that would have to be used or new old stock (N.O.S.), and N.O.S. was completely out of the question. I wasn't about to pay $900 for a steering wheel (three times the price I paid for the entire car, I might add), and then have to explain that to my wife. No, it would have to be used. If I could find a good core wheel, most of the remaining items could be ordered from just about any vendor.
After scouring the aisles and looking at several different wheels, I spotted one in a box with several other '65-'66 woodgrain wheels for the wife-friendly price of only $5! The chrome was lightly pitted, but it would make for a good core wheel.
Now that I had the wheel, all I had to do was get the rim restored and install all-new reproduction parts for the horn ring, rear collar, and center cap. Sounds easy, right? Well, for the most part, getting the reproduction parts is no harder than calling your favorite vendor--in this case, Perogie Enterprises. There are, however, two items that may prove to be hard to find if you're going it alone.
The first item is the pair of rings at the base of the wheel. These rings make contact with the horn contacts and, until now, were available only in N.O.S., or if you were lucky, they came with your used wheel. When we contacted Perogie about our Deluxe wheel restoration, we were pleased to hear that the company is now reproducing these two rings. Great! One down, one to go.
The second item that is not reproduced is the turn-signal cancellation clip. You might be able to find one of these on another wheel, but they are difficult to find.
Getting back to our core wheel, we contacted Pete Geisler at Orlando Classic Mustang about its restoration services for Deluxe wheels of all model years.
Geisler and his crew do a great job of restoring Deluxe wheels, and they have many hard-to-find parts, such as the horn contact rings and turn-signal cancellation clip. We visited Orlando Classic Mustang as soon as our schedule allowed, so that Geisler could look at our Deluxe wheel and let us know what could be done.

UCONN WOMENS'S BASKETBALL: UConn takes on a Notre Dame team that beat them in January
SOUTH BEND, Ind. >> Was there ever any doubt that it would come down to this?
With all the uncertainty in college athletics these days thanks to the volcanic impact of conference realignment, about as close as there is to a sure thing is that the UConn and Notre Dame women's basketball teams will meet on the first Monday of March with a Big East championship at stake.
As was the case a year ago, the Fighting Irish have already secured a share of the regular-season crown. UConn is heading to Notre Dame eyeing a share of the title, which would be the program's unprecedented 17th Big East regular-season title when the teams square off at the Joyce Center Monday night at 7.
"Any time there is a championship at stake it is a big game," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "The fact that the winner gets the trophy makes it a big game. There is life after that game, but that doesn't diminish that it is a big game.
"I told the team in the locker room that (Saturday's win at South Florida) was the last insignificant game and even (Saturday) you have to win to put yourself in (position to play for the title). Starting Monday, every game has tremendous meaning to it. Monday, if you win, you win the championship. The following Sunday if you get beat you are out of the Big East tournament, two weeks later if you get beat you are out of the NCAA tournament, so every game has huge significance.
"There is two ways kids react to that. One is they shut it down completely, and the other guys, you can see it as March comes there is this glow that comes over them. 'Man, I have been waiting since October for this and it is finally here.' You have to hope you have more of those guys than you do of the other guys."
There is more at stake for UConn than just a title. The Huskies have accomplished a great many things over the last couple of seasons, but there are those who view this current Connecticut team as the "not quite ready for prime-time players." Despite their dismantling of a talented Duke squad and going on the road to crush Stanford, there are some who focus on UConn's inability to close out games against Baylor and Notre Dame when discussing the legacy of these Huskies.
The UConn players can silence those doubters -- for the time being -- with a victory on the road against the second-ranked Fighting Irish.
"There is a lot to do with will," UConn senior guard/forward Kelly Faris. "At this point we have good players, they have good players. We have X's and O's and they have X's and O's. It is not necessarily going to come down to that, it is going to come down to the hustle plays. We say that every time, and in the end it does. If you make a mental mistake, don't box out, those are the types of things in these big games that are going to come down to."
Whether it was the inability to box out late in the 2012 national semifinal, the two missed Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis 3-pointers earlier this season, Bria Hartley getting the ball poked away from behind by Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins, there are no lack of "what might have been" plays to serve as motivation for the Huskies.
"It absolutely motivated us, that and every other loss we've had," UConn junior center Stefanie Dolson said. "It is kind of is fuel to our fire. We've been improving, working harder, working on things and making sure we are ready for these big plays. A lot of times when we lose you don't have a chance to redeem yourself, so the fact that we are playing them two times it helps to know what to do and how hard we have to compete."
There's no doubt that Notre Dame will be ready to put up a good fight.
Following Saturday's win at Providence, which clinched a share of the Big East title, Notre Dame junior guard Kayla McBride said, "We don't want to share it."
It is that desire to seal to deal which makes this one of head coach Muffet McGraw's favorite teams to coach.
"I think we battle, we really compete in every game we have been in," McGraw said. "I think our younger players have stepped up. Natalie Achonwa, as a first-year starter is really playing exceptionally well. I think Skylar's leadership has been phenomenal this year in the way she has played and the way she has led us."
McGraw also has tremendous respect for UConn's stars especially the duo of Mosqueda-Lewis and Dolson who combined for 57 points in the South Florida victory.
"I think Lewis is having a fantastic year," McGraw said. "She is just deadly from the 3-point line and one of the best shooters in the country. She works for her shots. I think she is one of the players on that team, players pick up that role you saw what she did in the Baylor game, just phenomenal.
"(Dolson's) perimeter game has really improved; she is playing on the outside and shooting the ball really well."

Lawyers Surrender Tapes in Waffle House CEO Suit
MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - Lawyers have given a Georgia judge sexual recordings of the CEO of the Waffle House restaurant chain in a lawsuit stemming from accusations made by a former employee who says she was forced into sex.
Cobb County Superior Court Judge G. Grant Brantley took custody of several recordings Wednesday at the request of lawyers for CEO Joe Rogers Jr., who says the woman has been trying to blackmail him.
Attorneys were sorting out whether any copies of the recordings had been made on computer servers.
The former employee filed a police report saying Rogers demanded she perform sexual acts to keep her job. The Associated Press does not generally identify potential victims of sexual assault.
Rogers says they had a consensual sexual relationship, and that the woman is attempting extortion.

First shoots of Haiti's agricultural renaissance
USD 10.2 million scheme to distribute and multiply quality seeds in Haiti has significantly increased food production in the Caribbean nation providing cheaper food for the population and boosting farmers' incomes.
Requested by the Haitian government, financed by a loan from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and implemented by FAO, the programme was introduced to combat high international food prices.
The situation was made more urgent by a series of deadly tropical storms that hit Haiti exactly a year ago in which farmers lost seeds and crops. With this year's hurricane season now underway, the programme has also helped boost FAO seed stocks in Haiti so the country will have more quality seeds at hand to distribute should farmers lose their stocks again.
$5 million worth of beans in one season
Almost 250 000 smallholder and landless farmers have or will receive adapted quality seeds through the programme, which although only half way completed has already paid for itself many times over. FAO estimates that the quality bean seeds from Guatamala procured and distributed to poor and vulnerable farmers for the 2008 winter planting season for $300,000, has produced $5 million in bean crops.
"We are extremely encouraged by the results we are seeing in this programme which, along with favourable weather, has been an important factor in increasing the amount of food available to poor people in Haiti," said FAO Haiti Representative Ari Toubo Ibrahim.
Hurricanes wash away seeds
Haiti is one of the countries worst hit by rising food prices, which in April 2008 triggered riots in the capital Port-au-Prince. Four successive and devastating hurricanes in August and September 2008 meant the seeds poor farmers had saved were either washed away or eaten because people were so hungry. In any case, often there are no quality seeds available for poor farmers and they have no choice but to plant grain, hoping that some will grow.
The Haitian Ministry of Agriculture identified the lack of suitable quality seeds as a major obstacle to increasing local food production and reducing dependence on imports susceptible to price fluctuations. New and better adapted varieties of seeds are also required to meet the challenges of shifting agro-ecological systems caused by climate change and deforestation. The government and IFAD chose FAO as a partner because the UN agency has more than ten years experience in seed multiplication in Haiti and a strong emergency programme since 2004.
Tools and training
Apart from beans, the project also includes the multiplication of maize, sorghum as well as the propagation of cassava, sweet potato and banana plants. Five hundred tonnes of good quality rice seed produced locally is also to be distributed under the project.
The farmers also receive basic tools and advice or training via written material and radio broadcasts on best cultivation techniques. The programme initially covers three planting seasons in Haiti — winter 2008 and spring and summer 2009 — and has seed multiplication partners in all of the country's ten administrative departments ranging from farmers' associations in hard-to-reach rural areas to a handful of larger peri-urban agri-businesses.
The government would now like to extend the project to the upcoming winter season to build on the programme's excellent results and to continue support in the aftermath of the soaring food prices. Farmers can not recover their livelihoods in a few months but need more sustained assistance of at least a year.
Agriculture a priority
More than a half of Haitians — between five and six million people — live in rural areas and around 85 percent of the rural population practice some agriculture and farming accounts for around 26 percent of Haiti's economic output, making agriculture by far the country's biggest employer.
According to Haitian government figures, agricultural production rose by 25 percent in the 2008 spring planting season compared to 2009. The number of food insecure people fell from 2.4 million in April 2008 (just before last year's food price peak) to 1.9 million in June 2009.
FAO experts say NGO, government and UN schemes to rehabilitate the country's irrigation channels and roads following last year's floods and storms have also helped increase agricultural production.
"Reviving agriculture in Haiti is a priority in the fight against hunger and for the development of rural areas where the rate of extreme poverty is three times higher than in urban areas," said Ibrahim. "Food production is a pre-requisite to any other economic activities, even tourism, because to bring in tourists and then import food to feed them when more than two million Haitians are still food insecure is a recipe for resentment," he said.
Fruit trees against hurricanes
When food production includes fruit trees such as mangos, avocados, bananas and coffee agriculture can be part of the reforestation process, as poor people are less likely to cut them down for firewood. Despite the massive depletion of its natural resources and land degradation due to mismanagement of the land and extreme poverty over the past couple of decade Haiti was formerly an important agricultural producer.
"Haiti still has many excellent agronomists and its farmers have retained the knowledge base to produce food which is why we must keep up the focus on agriculture," said Ibrahim.

How To Diagnose And Treat Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome
Evaluating and treating exercise-induced lower leg pain can be a difficult task for the foot and ankle physician. Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is commonly misdiagnosed and often patients go though an exhaustive trial of treatments that fail to alleviate their pain.
There is a plethora of differential diagnoses for this syndrome. However, one can diagnose it accurately with a thorough history and following up on strong clinical suspicion. Physicians can subsequently treat the condition surgically with a high rate of success.
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is also known as "exercise-induced compartment syndrome," "recurrent compartmental syndrome" or "subacute compartment syndrome." The syndrome is an effort induced condition in which tissue pressures within an osteofascial envelope are elevated well above physiologic levels. This results in inadequate perfusion and ischemic-related symptoms.1-3
Mavor was the first to describe CECS of the leg and offered insight into this increase in compartmental pressure. He noted "it is unlikely that the so-called 'open' lower end of the compartment is anything more than a potential opening well occupied by tendons and thus unsatisfactory as a 'safety-valve.' With increasing tension in the compartment, 'circulation within the intramuscular vascular networks is embarrassed.'"4
Collagen tissue under a prolonged stretch will respond by aligning its fibers to increase in density and strength. These increases in density and strength likely account for the increased progression in symptoms that many patients describe. Detmer et al., found this to be the case in 75 percent of the patients in their study.1
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is more often bilateral with a strong male predisposition.5 This condition is more common in younger athletes as they are more prone to return to activity despite residual pain.6 In their study, Detmer et al., found that 87 percent of their patients with lower leg chronic exertional compartment syndrome were involved in some type of sport.1
Essential Anatomical Insights
Researchers have reported that 95 percent of CECS occurs in the lower leg.7 This is due to the fact that intensive exercise in most sports usually includes the anatomic structures of the lower leg. When it comes to the lower leg, the anterior compartment is most commonly affected. This is followed by the lateral compartment. The deep and superficial posterior compartments are much less commonly involved.8,9
Anatomic textbooks describe four compartments in the lower leg. These compartments include the anterior, lateral, deep posterior and superficial posterior compartments. Detmer et al., believed the lower leg to contain seven functional compartments. These compartments include the:
• anterior;
• lateral;
• posterior superficial medial (medial head of the gastrocnemius);
• posterior superficial lateral (lateral head of the gastrocnemius);
• posterior deep proximal;
• posterior deep distal (flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, posterior tibialis); and
• posterior superficial distal (soleus) compartments.1
The superficial peroneal nerve has variable branching patterns and is particularly at risk during lateral compartment fasciotomy. The nerve is most frequently at risk at the junction of the middle and distal thirds of the calf, where it pierces the fascia and begins to course more obliquely.10
A Guide To Key Clinical Features
The most common clinical feature of CECS is the relationship of the pain to exertion. Patients often complain of lower leg pain during exercise and describe it as easing with cessation of activity. Following exercise, patients often describe mild tenderness, aching pain, tightness, weakness of the muscles in the affected compartment and/or sensory abnormalities of the involved nerve.11
One should ask patients to outline with a finger the exact borders to the area of pain they experience. Patients will often outline the entire muscular compartment. Patients experiencing anterior compartment syndromes may even experience transient low-grade foot drop with or without paresthesias.1 Upon initial examination, patients may complain of mild soreness to palpation. Muscle hernias may also occur but they are rare.
One must rule out all other possible diagnoses prior to further clinical considerations for compartment syndrome. Therefore, it is important to note that CECS is a diagnosis of exclusion. Differential diagnoses include stress fracture, Baker's cyst, soft tissue mass, popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES), medial tibial stress syndrome, adductor canal outlet syndrome, adventitial cystic disease, pes planus, muscle herniation or diffuse periostitis.2,10 One usually makes the definitive diagnosis with compartment pressure monitoring before and after exercise.
What The Literature Reveals About Diagnostic Testing
Researchers have described other means of diagnosis that include magnetic resonance imaging and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).12 Magnetic resonance imaging scans have shown an increase in T2-weighted signal in legs affected with chronic exertional compartment syndrome after exercise. The NIRS measures the hemoglobin saturation of tissues in a non-invasive manner.
A study by van den Brand et al., found the sensitivity of noninvasive NIRS to be clinically equivalent to that of invasive intracompartmental pressure measurements. Their study also found the diagnostic value of MRI to be disappointing in comparison to that of NIRS and intracompartmental pressure testing.12
Another non-invasive method of identifying an exertional compartment syndrome is testing leg pain with a sphygmomanometer following a period of exercise. After the patient completes a brief period of exercise, inflate the sphygmomanometer on the symptomatic calf region until the region is painful. Do this with the unaffected calf as well.
With chronic exertional compartment syndrome, the patient will exhibit pain at a much lower cuff pressure in the affected limb as opposed to the non-affected limb. Though it is non-specific for the exact compartment that is being affected, this test is a quick and inexpensive modality to aid in determining whether CECS is the culprit.
Intracompartmental pressure testing remains the gold standard for diagnosing CECS. Leversedge et al., defined CECS as a pre-exercise intracompartment resting pressure of more than 15 mmHg, a one-minute post-exercise pressure of more than 30 mmHg, a five-minute post-exercise pressure of more than 20 mmHg, or a combination, when one correlates these measurements with clinical symptoms.3
Physicians usually test the compartments with a wick or slit catheter. The literature shows that position of the lower extremity can affect pressure measurements and one needs to standardize this during testing. The patient is usually supine with the foot in neutral position.
We use a Stryker wick catheter (Stryker Corporation). This is a simple handheld device containing a transducer, amplifier and display that connects directly to a needle or slit-catheter. It is easy to handle, has a short learning curve, is relatively inexpensive and can produce reliable static measurements. In a large clinical study, Verleisdonk et al., noted sensitivity and specificity of 93 percent and 74 percent respectively with this device.9
Why Fasciotomy Is The Gold Standard
The first approach to treatment is conservative care. Conservative options include modification of activity, prolonged rest, anti-inflammatory drugs, stretching, bracing, massage, orthotics, diuretics and physiotherapy.1,7 The literature notes the majority of these conservative modalities tend to be less effective in alleviating exertion-induced pain.
The second option and mainstay of treatment is the fasciotomy. Common techniques include open fasciotomy, subcutaneous release and endoscopically assisted fasciotomy.6 Fasciotomy is generally reserved for recurrent episodes of CECS. Studies have shown that endoscopically assisted fascial release reduces the risk of superficial peroneal nerve injury in comparison to blind percutaneous release.10
In Hutchinson's study of percutaneous versus endoscopically assisted fasciotomy, four of six specimens undergoing the percutaneous procedure had complete transection of the superficial peroneal nerve.10 Detmer et al., found that 90 percent of the 70 patients treated with subcutaneous fasciotomy had significant improvement.2 Verleisdonk and colleagues had a similar success rate of 87 percent for 53 patients treated with fasciotomy.9
Potential complications of fasciotomy include infection, nerve injury, recurrence secondary to incomplete release, cosmetically unacceptable scarring, muscle fascia adhesions and postoperative hematoma.10
How To Perform An Endoscopically Assisted Fasciotomy For Anterior/Lateral CECS
Prep the left leg and drape it in normal sterile fashion. After performing Esmarch exsanguination, inflate a thigh tourniquet to 300 mmHg to maintain hemostasis. Make a 2 cm vertical incision, the center of which is 12 cm proximal to the lateral malleolus and 5 cm lateral to the tibial crest. Dissect down to the fascia.
Place a 30-degree endoscope into the incision and identify the anatomy within the fascial incision. Then place Metzenbaum scissors into the incision. Under endoscopic visualization, use the scissors to release the fascia both proximally and distally until you can perform a complete fasciotomy. Take care to visualize and protect the superficial peroneal nerve throughout the entire procedure.
It is not uncommon to perform both an anterior and lateral compartment release at the same time. Incise the anterior compartment fascia sharply and insert the endoscope. Using the same technique one would employ with the lateral compartment, incise the anterior compartment fascia under endoscopic visualization proximally and distally. Then irrigate the incision and deflate the tourniquet. After confirming hemostasis, close the incision in a running subcuticular pattern.
Pertinent Postoperative Pearls
The literature describes varying postoperative protocols following fasciotomy. Patients should elevate the extremity for the first 48 to 72 hours to prevent edema. We advocate non-weightbearing for two weeks. One would subsequently emphasize protected weightbearing in a fracture boot and the initiation of formal physical therapy.
At four weeks postoperatively, patients may ambulate in regular shoe gear and resume their normal daily activities. Some high performance athletes may return to training regiments as soon as eight to 10 weeks postoperatively if tolerated.
In Summary
Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is an activity-induced pathological elevation of tissue pressures within an osteofascial envelope that results in debilitating symptoms of pain and neurological dysfunction. The etiology of this process is unclear but it appears to be a combination of vascular, neurological and muscular sequelae.6 The diagnosis is often difficult due to the differential diagnoses that involve the neurological, vascular and musculoskeletal systems. A high level of clinical suspicion, a thorough history and measurement of the intracompartmental pressures can help accurately diagnose CECS.
There a few different methods to diagnose CECS in the lower leg. Sphygmomanometer testing, magnetic resonance imaging and near-infrared spectroscopy are reasonable non-invasive methods for identifying this pathology, although sensitivity and specificity vary. The gold standard today remains intracompartmental pressure testing following a brief period of exertion.
Surgical treatment for CECS remains the treatment of choice for patients with elevated intracompartmental pressures.4 Today surgeons perform compartment decompression either by open fasciotomy or by subcutaneous fascial division.3
Endoscopically assisted release improves visualization and minimizes the risk of incomplete compartment decompression and inadvertent neurovascular injuries, subsequently improving patient outcomes.1,3 Endoscopically assisted fasciotomy for CECS in the anterior and lateral compartments of the lower leg is a safe and reliable technique with excellent outcomes and patient satisfaction.6,13

What is DNS?
DNS is often referred to as the phonebook of the internet, when a user types a web address into their browser, DNS is what connects that user with the web site they are seeking. DNS stands for Domain Name System, and the DNS maintains a directory of every website on the Internet.
A computer can only find a website using it's IP address, which is a long, punctuated string of numbers, such as 192.168.1.1 in the older IPv4 format, or 2400:cb00:2048:1::c629:d7a2 in the new IPv6 . These addresses can be hard for humans to remember, and on top of that, the IP addresses for some websites are dynamic and can change periodically. DNS makes it easier for people to access websites by letting them use human-friendly web addresses, also known as URLs.
For example, a current IPv6 IP address for Cloudflare.com is 2400:cb00:2048:1::c629:d7a2. Instead of memorizing that address, a user can type 'www.cloudflare.com' into their browser. When that happens, the browser sends out a request to DNS, and DNS returns a response telling the browser the IP address of that website, and the browser then sends a request to that IP address which responds with the website's data.
How does a DNS request work?
DNS servers are set up in a distributed hierarchy, meaning the data is spread out over several computers. When a client makes a DNS request, the request is handled by a recursive resolver, which is a DNS server that starts a series of communications with other DNS servers until it finds the requested IP address, returning it to the client. Recursive resolvers can also cache DNS records, making frequently accessed records more readily available.
DNS and DDoS Attacks
There are two popular DDoS attacks that utilize DNS servers: DNS amplification attacks and DNS flood attacks.
- DNS amplification attacks are reflection-based DDoS attacks where the attacker sends spoofed look-up requests to an open DNS server, and the server then sends the responses back to a targeted victim. The attack is amplified because the request data sent by the attacker is smaller than the response data received by the victim. Learn more about DNS amplification attacks.
- In a DNS flood attack, the attackers attempt to overwhelm the DNS servers for a particular zone in an attempt to disrupt legitimate traffic to that zone. This type of attack is generally done by using a botnet to overwhelm a DNS resolver with lookup requests. Learn more about DNS flood attacks.
What else does the Domain Name System do?
The DNS also defines the DNS Protocol, which is a detailed specification of communication exchanges and data structures used in the DNS. This falls under the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). Additionally, The DNS maintains a Blackhole list of IP addresses known for sending out spam email. Mail servers can be configured based on this list to flag or reject messages suspected to be spam.

Rosetta Stone Acquires Livemocha to Decipher the Cloud
Language learning company Rosetta Stone Inc. Tuesday announced it has acquired Seattle-based Livemocha for $8.5 million in cash. The transaction closed Monday. While Rosetta Stone has made its mark selling language courses through CDs offered at iconic yellow kiosks in malls and airports around the world, Livemocha's language courses are only offered online.
Much as SAP AG and Oracle Corp. in 2102 acquired Successfactors Inc. and RightNow Technologies Inc., respectively, to ease their entries into cloud computing, Rosetta Stone is making this acquisition as much for the technology underpinning its smaller online learning rival as for the customer base it hopes to monetize in the near future. The company is also making this acquisition as it sees the tide shifting away from traditional software usage to cloud-based and mobile applications, as much among individual consumers as among its business customer segment.

2 April 2004, Paris, France
The 2nd EIR/OECD Conference on Pensions and Long-run Investments was organised at the OECD Headquarters in Paris on 2 April 2004. Over 50 guests were present, including private sector, researchers and pension regulators. The event was opened by William Witherell, Director of DAFE, OECD. The focus of the event was on pension fund investment in both Defined Benefit (DB) and Defined Contribution (DC) systems. The first part of the meeting focused on DB plans. Asset-liability modelling models and the implications of ageing for defined benefit plans were discussed in detail. The second half of the meeting looked at the new DC plans in Ireland, the OECD on-going work on statistical data collection and regulatory policies for private pension systems.
