We've already heard that the next Nexus phone will be made by LG and be kinda, sorta similar to the powerful LG Optimus G but this might be the first time we're getting a good look at it. A gallery of photos of an LG Android phone that looks like the Optimus G and runs stock Android has popped up at XDA developers. Could this be the next Nexus?
As you can see in the LG phone's About screen, it mentions that the model number is 'Full JellyBean on Mako'. What the heck does that mean? Android Central notes that previous Nexus devices' internal names have carried a fish theme and Mako is a type of shark.
This mystery phone certainly looks a lot like the Optimus G and if it's really the next Nexus, those gnarly rumored specs running stock Android would make for a pretty awesome phone. How do you guys like it? [XDA Developers via Android Central]

We get it. You love your iPhone 5 so much that you're willing shrug off the money you lost on the two-year-old, 30-pin speaker dock that's now obsolete. You're ready to invest in an 8-pin dock because Apple wouldn't dare change its proprietary standard again. Right? RIGHT? Don't worry, this burly burnt orange speaker dock for Apple's Lightning iOS devices will disappear your cash in a flash.
A few months back, JBL impressed us by being the first manufacturer to market with speaker docks for Apple's new Lightning connector.
Whereas the previously announced OnBeat Venue Lightning was a 30-watt system with just a pair of full-range drivers, the 50-watt OnBeat Rumble packs 20 more watts of juice, most of which is probably dedicated to driving the 4.5-inch down-firing subwoofer. The Venue has no dedicated low-end driver, and JBL promises that the addition of a sub to the Rumble will deliver earth-shattering bass. Like the Venue, the Rumble has Bluetooth so that your friends who are still carrying 30-pin iPhones (Suckers!) can connect wirelessly. Sadly, the OnBeat Rumble will cost $400 (!!!) when it's available some time this spring. That's twice as expensive as the Venue. Without more detailed specs or even a first listen, the OnBeat Rumble seems a tad expensive.
Back in November, JBL also announced the OnBeat Micro, a tiny, $100 battery-powered number for your iPhone 5. Now, JBL's getting ready to drop—wait for it—the OnBeat Mini, which is basically identical to the Micro except that the docking area is now large enough to accomodate a fourth-generation iPad or an iPad Mini. Oh, and the Mini costs $50 more than the Micro. INNOVATION. [JBL]

The mimic octopus is a stealthy swimmer (and a furious lover) but it's not the only master of disguise in the ocean. While swimming off of the coast of Indonesia last July, diver Godehard Kopp noticed that a black-marble jawfish was surreptitiously hitching a ride with the mimic octopus.
The mimic octopus can ape other venomous sea fauna — such as lionfish — so predators tend to avoid it. By matching the octopus' color and pattern, this vulnerable fish, which normally occupies a cozy burrow, was able to blend in with the cephalopod's mass. Furthermore, the octopus didn't appear to mind its fleeting sidekick.
For a good 15 minutes, this black-marble jawfish took the mollusk express, presumably to find food beyond its burrow. As nifty as the fish's behavior is, the researchers suspect that this isn't an everyday interaction. From the recent paper in the journal Coral Reefs, "Opportunistic mimicry by a Jawfish":
Since the Black-Marble Jawfish is distributed from Japan to Australia, whereas the Mimic Octopus is restricted to the Indo-Malay region, we think this is a case of opportunistic rather than obligate mimicry.

New Footage of Imperial Woodpecker [Distribution]
New Study Analyzes Only Known Footage of Vanished Imperial Woodpecker
Insights on probable extinction of ivory-bill's closest relative
For release: October 26, 2011
ITHACA, N.Y.—The largest woodpecker that ever lived probably went extinct in the late 20th century in the high mountains of Mexico, without anyone ever capturing photos or film of the two-foot-tall, flamboyantly crested bird. Or so scientists thought—until a biologist from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology tracked down a 16-mm film shot in 1956 by a dentist from Pennsylvania.
The footage, which captures the last confirmed sighting of an Imperial Woodpecker in the wild, has now been restored and used to describe the species' behavior and its habitat—determined by tracking down the exact filming location during a 2010 expedition. The research appears in the October 2011 issue of The Auk, the scientific journal of the American Ornithologists' Union, and the cover features a painting of the woodpecker adapted from the film. (You can link to the Auk article here.)
"It is stunning to look back through time with this film and see the magnificent Imperial Woodpecker moving through its old-growth forest environment, and it is heartbreaking to know that both the bird and the forest are gone," said Martjan Lammertink, lead author of the paper along with four Cornell Lab staff and two Mexican biologists.
In the 85-second color film, which is available for viewing at www.birds.cornell.edu/imperialfilm, a female Imperial Woodpecker hitches up and forages on the trunks of large Durango pines. The bird's extraordinary crest of black feathers curves up over her head, shaking as she hitches up the tree and chips at bark with her long, pale bill. As she launches into flight, the bird shows a long pointed tail, long wings, and a powerful, fast flight.
The film was shot by William L. Rhein, a dentist and amateur ornithologist from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, who went to Mexico in 1953, 1954, and 1956 specifically to film and record the sounds of the Imperial Woodpecker. He finally succeeded in filming the bird in 1956, shooting the footage hand-held from the back of a mule, while camping in a remote location in the Sierra Madre Occidental in Durango state. No sound recordings were obtained of the species by Rhein or any other recordist. In a 1997 interview with Lammertink, Rhein commented that the Imperial Woodpecker was "like a great big turkey flying in front of me." Rhein died in 1999 at age 89.
In March 2010, Lammertink and Tim Gallagher of the Cornell Lab launched an expedition to find the site where Rhein made his film. With the assistance of Oscar Paz and Manuel Escarcega of the conservation group Pronatura Noroeste, the two interviewed local residents about the Imperial Woodpecker and explored a few remaining old-growth forests in areas inaccessible to logging. The fieldwork was by funded the Neotropical Birds initiative of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and The British Birdwatching Fair – Founding Global Sponsor of the BirdLife Preventing Extinctions Programme.
The expedition turned up no evidence that Imperial Woodpeckers are still alive. Only residents in their late 60s or older remembered the Imperial Woodpecker, and no one reported seeing any of the birds after the 1950s. "Even in the rare remnants of uncut forest, we found evidence of hunting and saw old-growth forests being cut and burned and planted with marijuana and opium poppies," said Gallagher.
The entire range of the Imperial Woodpecker lay in the high country of the Sierra Madre Occidental—a rugged mountain range stretching some 900 miles south from the U.S.-Mexico border—and the Transvolcanic mountains of central Mexico. The species largely vanished in the late 1940s and 1950s as logging destroyed their old-growth pine forest habitat. Imperial Woodpeckers were also frequently shot for food, to use in folk remedies, or out of curiosity.
One interviewee reported that logging interests in the 1950s actively encouraged the extermination of these birds, saying that they were destructive to valuable timber, and actually supplied poison to smear on the birds' foraging trees. Similar poisoning campaigns had been waged against the Mexican wolves and grizzly bears in these mountains, and both of these subspecies are now gone.
The Imperial Woodpecker was the closest relative of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, which suffered a similar decline from habitat loss in the southeastern United States and Cuba. A 2005 study by the Cornell Lab reported the rediscovery of an Ivory-billed Woodpecker in Arkansas, but subsequent region-wide surveys did not find evidence of a surviving population.
At www.birds.cornell.edu/imperialfilm, visitors can view the original Rhein film (plus a motion-stabilized version), the Auk article, a feature article in the Lab's Living Bird magazine, slide shows of the 1956 and 2010 expeditions, and hear commentary from the film maker William L. Rhein.
The article in the Auk—"Film documentation of the probably extinct Imperial Woodpecker (Campephilus imperialis)"—by Martjan Lammertink, Tim Gallagher, Ken Rosenberg, John Fitzpatrick, and Eric Liner of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Jorge Rojas-Tomé of Organización Vida Silvestre and Patricia Escalante of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)—analyzes the film and provides details about the 1950s expeditions of William L. Rhein and the 2010 Cornell Lab follow-up expedition.

OasISS mission heading to ISS with ESA astronaut Frank De Winne
ESA PR 13-2009. ESA astronaut Frank De Winne is heading to the International Space Station at the start of his six-month OasISS mission. Together with Russian cosmonaut Roman Romanenko and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk, De Winne launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, at 12:34 CEST (10:34 UT) today.
Their Soyuz TMA-15 spacecraft is scheduled to dock with the International Space Station (ISS) at 14:36 CEST (12:36 UT) on Friday 29 May. The arrival of De Winne, Romanenko and Thirsk at the ISS will mark the first ever six-member ISS crew, as they join the three Expedition crewmembers already in residence on the Station: Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, NASA astronaut Michael Barratt and Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata.
For the first four months of his OasISS mission, De Winne will be a Flight Engineer as a member of the Expedition 20 crew, reporting to Expedition 20 Commander Gennady Padalka. With a rotation of three of the six crewmembers due in October, De Winne will take over as Commander of the Expedition 21 crew until his return to Earth in November. He is the first European to take on this role.
As ISS Commander, De Winne will be responsible, among other things, for conducting operations on the ISS, directing the activities of the ISS crewmembers as a single, integrated team, and for ensuring the safety of the crew and the protection of the ISS elements, equipment and payloads.
"Witnessing this launch is a great moment a moment of accomplishments that opens up new opportunities and projects us all in the full exploitation of the ISS in preparation of new exploration missions to other destinations. I am looking forward to a full 6 crew onboard the ISS for a full exploitation of its scientific potential and to carry out activities in preparation of missions to future destinations. We have had a very intense fortnight: the roll out of the Node 3, the selection of 6 new member of the European Astronaut Corps and now this milestone. Human spaceflight and exploration is gaining momentum and we will be working for Europe to seize bigger opportunities in this field ", said Simonetta di Pippo, ESA Director of Human Spaceflight.
"Last year Columbus and the Automated Transfer Vehicle Jules Verne have demonstrated the reliability and the capability of the Europan Space Agency in the International Space Station endeavour. The European scientific laboratories and instruments on board Columbus are now operated on a daily basis, controlled from the Control Centre in Oberpfaffenhofen (Germany). The crew of six will provide much more resources on board to make scientific and technological progress." said ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain, witnessing the launch from Baikonur.
"The presence of two ESA astronauts on board the ISS this year – Frank de Winne and Christer Fuglesang - will bring a European touch to that crew. Even more, for the first time, the five partners of the ISS –USA, Russia, Canada, Japan and ESA - are all represented in the crew of six. I wish all of them a successful mission and I am confident that they will give once more proof that space is where international cooperation can express itself at its best, for the benefit of all of us, citizens on the Earth," Dordain added.
De Winne will also be the main operator of the Japanese robotic arm and will be one of the two astronauts who will berth the HII-Transfer Vehicle (HTV) to the ISS using the Station's robotic arm when the Japanese cargo spacecraft arrives at the ISS in September.
During the OasISS mission, De Winne will use the scientific facilities of the ISS, especially the European Columbus laboratory, to undertake a European programme of scientific experiments and technology demonstrations. These come predominantly from scientific institutions across Europe and include experiments in human physiology, biology, radiation dosimetry, exobiology, fluid physics and materials sciences.
ESA views education as a valuable aspect of its human spaceflight missions, helping to inspire the youth of today. As such, the OasISS mission will be the prime focus of ESA's education activities during the mission, including a live lesson given by De Winne from the ISS.
De Winne is a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF Belgium, which provides an opportunity among other education activities for cooperation between ESA and UNICEF Belgium. This cooperation will be based on the common ground of water, and in support of UNICEF's water, sanitation and hygiene campaign (WASH). Water is not only one of the most important basic elements of life as we know it and therefore the most important thread to follow when searching for life in the Universe, but it is also a very important resource for astronauts and spacecraft in orbit.
This is De Winne's second spaceflight after taking part in the Odissea mission to the ISS from 30 October to 10 November 2002. He will be joined on the ISS by Swedish ESA astronaut Christer Fuglesang, who will fly as mission specialist on the 11-day STS-128 mission scheduled for August 2009.

BOYLE HEIGHTS, Calif. (KTLA) — An hours-long standoff in Boyle Heights ended with a suspect being shot and killed by police early Tuesday morning.
Homicide investigators say the suspect — identified as a 33-year-old man — went on a criminal rampage Monday night.
It all began when the suspect, armed with a pistol, carjacked a black Acura Integra in East L.A.
Deputies spotted the car a few hours later, and a high speed pursuit ensued through the area.
The chase ended in the 500 block of Fairview Avenue, where the suspect bailed out of the car on foot.
He fired at deputies and then ran into a random apartment building.
The suspect went into an apartment unit, and the two residents barricaded themselves inside a bathroom, police said.
For the next few hours, hostage negotiators tried to get the suspect to surrender peacefully.
Authorities said that, at one point, the suspect even fired his pistol at a police K-9.
Deputies evacuated a number of people from the apartment building during the standoff.
The residents who were barricaded inside their bathroom were able to climb out a window with the help of a rescue team. They were said to be okay.
The standoff continued until about 4 a.m., when tear gas was thrown into the apartment.
Special Enforcement Bureau Team members then made entry into the apartment. More gunfire was exchanged, and the suspect was hit.
He was treated at the scene, but later pronounced dead.
The identity of the suspect has not been released, and it wasn't clear if he had a prior criminal record. The investigation is ongoing.

Rocco Palmo, in his blog Whispers in the Loggia, poses an intriguing question: is there some natural affinity between Apple (as in endless models of computer, iPod, iPhone, iPad and so on) and the Catholic Church, even the Catholic religion itself? These ruminations were inspired by the (for any Mac devotee – this emphatically includes me, though I can't afford the full battery of devices) sad news of the resignation through illness of Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple. It's rare, says Mr Palmo,
…to find a figure of modern global commerce who's had an impact on the life of mankind's most enduring corporate structure… with tonight's news of Steve Jobs' resignation as CEO of Apple, though, it's worth re-running the pinnacle-proof of Cupertino's mark on Catholic life: Pope Benedict XVI – long an owner of two early-model iPods (both white, of course) – launching the Vatican's rebooted news-portal in late June with a tap on an iPad…
For an institution whose upper reaches were long uninterested in (or taken aback by) the leaps and bounds of the technological revolution of recent decades – a reality that, candidly, long stalled the recognition and growth of modern communications platforms into the ecclesial mainstream – the watershed ad intra shift of the last three or so years can be credited in large part to the "Cult of Mac", thanks to the ease and captivation Apple devices have garnered.
He points out (surely the clincher) that the Holy See's internet office is controlled from a Mac computer: well, of course.
Before I explore this apparent affinity further (for there is more to be said) a digression about that reference to Cupertino: this has nothing to do with St Joseph of Cupertino who was, apparently, not very bright, but did miraculously levitate and have intense ecstatic visions. He is the patron saint of air travellers, aviators, astronauts, people with a mental handicap, test-takers, and weak students.
But Apple has nothing to do with any of that, it seems – though my first instinct was to wonder what the connection was and I still think one might be found with a little ingenuity, to do with the ease of operation of the Mac computer, perhaps (for those weak students); also, I am tapping this out on a MacBook Air (get it?): but quite simply, Cupertino, California, is where the Apple company is based. Wikipedia has an entry on something called "the Cupertino effect", which it defines as "the tendency of a spellchecker to suggest inappropriate words to replace misspelled words and words not in its dictionary" and then explains that "This term refers to the fact that the unhyphenated English word 'cooperation' was often changed to 'Cupertino' by older spellcheckers with dictionaries containing only the hyphenated variant, 'co-operation'. Cupertino, California is the home of Apple Inc., and thus would be in most computer spelling dictionaries."
This caused my mind to wander even further from my subject (it's been a tiring week in the blogosphere). I have just put the first paragraph above through my (Word) spellchecker – the first time I have ever used it, and never again: these things are mindless. It suggests that "Steve" might be changed to "stove" or "stave", that "Jobs" might be a misspelling for "Joss's" and that "blog" should be changed to "bog". Really, you are better off with the Oxford dictionary supplied with my Apple OSX system, whose icon sits reassuringly at the side of my screen in something called the "dock", which also includes icons for other delights to click on to, including iTunes, iPhoto, stickies, iMovie and a rubbish bin.
However, as the French are supposed to say – though I've never heard a French person say it – when they mean "let us return to the subject" (Rabelais said it constantly, it seems), revenons à nos moutons. The affinity between Catholicism and the Apple computer was explicitly assserted by no less a literary luminary than Umberto Eco (The Name of the Rose, etc) in an article written in 1994 entitled "The Holy War: Mac vs DOS" (Today, he would undoubtedly have amended this to Mac vs. PC) in which he argues that:
The fact is that the world is divided between users of the Macintosh computer and users of MS-DOS compatible computers. I am firmly of the opinion that the Macintosh is Catholic and that DOS is Protestant. Indeed, the Macintosh is counter-reformist and has been influenced by the ratio studiorum of the Jesuits. It is cheerful, friendly, conciliatory; it tells the faithful how they must proceed step by step to reach – if not the kingdom of Heaven – the moment in which their document is printed. It is catechistic: The essence of revelation is dealt with via simple formulae and sumptuous icons. Everyone has a right to salvation.
DOS is Protestant, or even Calvinistic. It allows free interpretation of scripture, demands difficult personal decisions, imposes a subtle hermeneutics upon the user, and takes for granted the idea that not all can achieve salvation. To make the system work you need to interpret the program yourself: Far away from the baroque community of revelers, the user is closed within the loneliness of his own inner torment.
You may object that, with the passage to Windows, the DOS universe has come to resemble more closely the counter-reformist tolerance of the Macintosh. It's true: Windows represents an Anglican-style schism, big ceremonies in the cathedral, but there is always the possibility of a return to DOS to change things in accordance with bizarre decisions: When it comes down to it, you can decide to ordain women and gays if you want to.
It all makes sense to me. But what do I know? How many Catholics out there have gravitated naturally to Mac rather than some kind of PC? How many Catholic PC users are in favour of ordaining women? We need to know more: these are deep waters.

It has been seen and spoken of in many movies. It is also the largest city not only in Brazil but in all of South America. It is named in honor of Saint Paul. It is also home to several stock markets and some of the tallest buildings in Brazil and South America.
First settled in 1532, Sao Paulo was the first permanent Portuguese colony in the new world. In 1554, many missionaries arrived to spread Christianity to the colony and it remains a religious center today with 75% of the city being Catholic. It officially became a city in 1711. In 1888 the city saw a large number of Spanish, Portuguese, and European immigrants in the city as a response to abolition. There is also a large Italian population still present in the city today. Between 1920 and 1940 the city saw incredible economic growth, population growth and building and construction were a constant. (more…)

I'm sad to announce that madCodeHook is only available for
commercial usage, anymore. I had to drop the non-commercial
edition due to repeated misuse by malware.
If you install madCodeHook without having a license, the
latest installer will give you a special evaluation version,
which is fully functional, but which only works if you run
a specific evaluation executable file.
I'm seriously sorry for all the good freeware programmers
out there, who would have liked to use madCodeHook for their

Why Choose LEDs for Indoor Lighting?
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are the most cost-effective form of indoor lighting. They last significantly longer than other traditional bulbs which means you save money on replacements and repairs. Not only that, but indoor LED lights are designed in such a way that almost all the energy they consume is converted directly into the light, meaning no energy wasted in heat and smaller electricity bills. It's a win-win indoor lighting solution!
Selecting the Right Indoor Lighting
When choosing the right indoor lighting fixtures for your home or business there are many things to consider but one thing is for certain: LEDs are the way to go. They are a stylish, energy-efficient and cost-effective option for your indoor lighting project. Plus, they come in a wide variety of designs, colours, brightness and additional features such as dimming functions.
What you choose in the end will be dependent on many things, such as the environment, purpose of the indoor lighting, the position, the type of installation and the desired atmosphere.
Let's take a look at some of the criteria you will want to consider when purchasing your indoor LED lights:
Colour Temperature
The colour of your indoor LED lights can really transform the whole look and feel of the room, and some colours are better suited to certain environments and for different tasks. So, it's important to choose the right one for your specific needs.
The colour temperature of any light bulb is measured in Kelvins, and we stock a range of indoor LED lights with different colour temperatures to suit every indoor lighting scenario. Choose from warm yellow-white, quite like what you are used to with incandescent bulbs, to more natural white or a cool, blue-ish white.
If you want indoor lighting that provides a warm glow, then choose an LED with around 2700-2900 Kelvins. This is also perfect for spaces with a lot of brown, wood, and warm tones of reds and golds.
An LED with a measurement of 3500-4900 Kelvin will give you a cool, vibrant light, ideal for workspaces such as the kitchen or the bathroom. It also works well in rooms decorated with cool colours like blue and green.
Before LEDs came along, you could more or less determine the brightness of a bulb by checking the wattage is required to produce light. But since LEDs don't require that much electricity, wattage won't give you any indication of brightness.
The correct measurement for brightness is actually lumens (lm). The more lumens an LED has, the brighter. For comparison, indoor LED lights with around 800 lumens will give the equivalent brightness as a 60-watt incandescent bulb.
Shapes and Fixtures
You can find indoor lighting in a wide variety of different shapes, sizes, and fixtures. Each one will provide a slightly different light beam spread and angle. You can choose from an almost 360-degree spread with the more globe type bulbs or opt for more focused and direct lighting with downlights or spotlights. The right LED bulb shape will depend on personal preference, the fitting, and the purpose of the lighting.
Why Choose Simple Lighting for your Indoor LED Lights?
We know how important it is to choose the right lighting for every project and space. We believe in providing you with a wide variety of lighting fixtures, different finishes, and with a number of additional functions so you have plenty of options to choose from.
All of our products are sourced from the top lighting brands to ensure the highest quality indoor lighting that will enhance any space. We focus on LEDs for indoor lightning for their durability, superior light and the savings they provide you.

Confession: I love cereal--around the clock. It's the world's easiest breakfast, of course, but it also makes a dandy snack, especially when you can make it into a trail mix, like this...
I'm always inspired the healthy ideas from Angela over at Oh She Glows, and I loved her idea of making a quickie trail mix with cereal. She mixes bananas and chia seeds into hers, but here's my favorite way to mix up a cereal-inspired trail mix:
1 cup of your favorite health cereal, such as Nature's Path Spelt Cereal
Pinch of unsweetened coconut
A sprinkling of dried cranberries
1/4 cup of almonds
2 tablespoons of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Do you love trail mix? What's your favorite ingredient to mix in?

Layered Beef Burger Comes to KFC China
KFC China recently debuted a brand-new sandwich: the layered beef burger. It's made with six layers of thin-sliced beef, and topped with cheese, lettuce, and mushrooms on a sesame seed bun. In a meal, with two spicy chicken wings and a drink, it'll cost you 31 yuan (approximately $5 US), or 16 yuan à la carte (approximately $2.60).
According to AHT's official Chinese-language translator (AHT Editor Robyn Lee's mom!), the commercial says that the traditional way of cooking hamburgers results in a loss of moisture, but the new way (stacking multiple layers of thinly sliced hamburgers) keeps the meat tender and juicy. Take a look at the video for a closer look:
The new burger isn't the only beef item on the menu. There's also a beef wrap, Hungarian style beef stew with rice, and black pepper steak with rice. Even so, I think I'd stick with the Chuanxiangyou double chicken burger, with peppers, peanuts, lettuce, and a Sichuan sesame sauce. How about you?

PIMCO on Thursday launched its exchange traded fund version of PIMCO Total Return, the giant fixed income mutual fund managed by Bill Gross, and investors are closely watching to see how Gross' active management of the ETF fares.
"This is a watershed event. You're taking the largest actively managed mutual fund and making it more accessible, more transparent and cheaper, which is appealing to many potential investors," said Todd Rosenbluth, an ETF analyst with Standard & Poor's Capital IQ, in an interview with AdvisorOne. "Smartphones come out on a regular basis, but they don't get the same buzz as when a new iPhone comes out. There's a cachet behind this because of the strong brand name and the track record that Bill Gross and his team have established."
PIMCO Total Return ETF trades under the ticker TRXT on the NYSE Arca and has a gross expense ratio of 0.55%, which is notably cheaper than the 0.85% charged for the more established PIMCO Total Return A (PTTAX), according to Rosenbluth. PTTAX underperformed intermediate investment grade bond fund peers in the past 12 months ended Feb. 24, but has an above-average five- and 10-year annualized record.
Gross will manage the ETF as of its inception, according to PIMCO's summary prospectus for TRXT. The fund under normal circumstances invests in at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed income instruments of varying maturities, including bonds issued by both U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The fund invests primarily in investment grade debt securities, but may invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield securities rated B or higher by Moody's.
"Yet, we caution investors from flocking to the ETF out of the gates, since its holdings are likely to differ from what you currently find in its sister mutual fund due to restrictions on the use of derivatives and possibly the greater transparency," Rosenbluth wrote in a note for S&P's MarketScope Advisor. "In addition, TRXT will be a lot more expensive than the larger fixed income ETFs in the market."
The bond king himself told Bloomberg in an interview that it bothered him that high brokerage-firm minimums stopped his own mother from buying shares of his mutual fund, which is why he wanted to launch the ETF. "Small investors don't always have access to active management with a higher yield and a higher total return," said Gross, who is co-chief investment officer at PIMCO. "We are hoping 'mom and pop' can do a little bit better than the bond market at a time of historically low yields."
S&P Capital IQ's Rosenbluth noted that investors will be paying extra for Gross' active management. Already, he said, the Total Return mutual fund makes headlines when it makes asset allocation changes and shares that information on a monthly basis. "What's going to be different is this ETF is traded daily, intraday, and they're going to have to disclose their holdings on a daily basis, so there's more transparency compared to a mutual fund product that has not been that transparent," Rosenbluth said.
Gross touted the ETF's launch in January at an ETF Virtual Summit hosted by ETF Trends publisher Tom Lydon.
"This has potential," said Gross when Lydon asked him about the launch. "We've been looking forward to the development of an array of ETFs at PIMCO." Gross pointed to the long-term success of the Total Return Fund, while acknowledging the tough year the fund saw in 2011, when it experienced significant net outflows after he bet against the bond market.

Praxis is the customary use of knowledge or skills, distinct from theoretical knowledge. The term is used in Orthodox theology to refer to the practice of the faith, especially to worship.
Orthodox praxis
Union with God, to which Christians hold that Jesus Christ invited man, requires not just faith, but correct practice of faith. This is found in Holy Scripture in the following passages:(1 Cor 11:2, 2 Thes 2:15) and the Church Fathers, and is linked with the term praxis in Orthodox theology. In the context of Orthodoxy, praxis is mentioned opposite theology, in the sense of theory and practice, and is a word that means, globally, all that Orthodox do. Praxis is living Orthodoxy.
Praxis is most strongly associated with worship. "Orthopraxis" is said to mean "right practice," as "orthodoxy" means "right glory" or "right worship" [1]; only correct (or proper) practice, particularly right worship, will give the correct glory to God, which is one of the primary purposes of liturgy, the work of the people. Some Orthodox sources maintain that, in the West, Christianity has for the most part been reduced "to intellectual, ethical or social categories," whereas right worship is fundamentally important in our relationship to God, forming the faithful into the Body of Christ and providing the path to "true religious education" [2]. A "symbiosis of worship and work" is considered to be inherent in Orthodox praxis [3].
Fasting, another key part of the practice of the Christian faith, is mentioned as part of Orthodox praxis in connection with the Sermon on the Mount (Mt 6)and in comparison with the history and commemorations of Lenten fasts.
Praxis also refers to proper religious etiquette.

by David Berlinski
(Video of Berlinski not related to the book but gives an idea of the kind of analysis he applies to the problem)
I read this great book over the weekend. Berlinski is smarter, wittier, more urbane and certainly better informed than Dawkins and Hitchens, two militant Atheists who've both made a pile of money recently denigrating God and religion, particularly Christianity. Berlinski takes them and their "scientific Atheists" brothers apart without breaking a sweat and with some humor. We say, if you only read one book this year; read the Bible but if you've got more time on your hands, read this book (along with Saboe's "Days of Peleg"…s8int.com
"David Berlinski received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Princeton University and was later a postdoctoral fellow in mathematics and molecular biology at Columbia University. He has authored works on systems analysis, differential topology, theoretical biology, analytic philosophy, and the philosophy of mathematics, as well as three novels. He has also taught philosophy, mathematics and English at such universities as Stanford, Rutgers, the City University of New York and the Universite de Paris. In addition, he has held research fellowships at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Austria and the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES) in France.
Recent articles by Dr. Berlinski have been featured in Commentary, Forbes ASAP, and the Boston Review. Two of his articles, "On the Origins of the Mind" (November 2004) and "What Brings a World into Being" (March 2001) have been anthologized in The Best American Science Writing 2005 , edited by Alan Lightman (Harper Perennial), and The Best American Science Writing 2002, edited by Jesse Cohen, respectively."..Discovery Institute
Reviews of "The Devil's Delusion"
"Berlinski knows his science and wields his rapier deftly. He makes great sport with his opponents, and his readers will surely enjoy it.â€
—Tom Bethell, bestselling author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science
"A powerful riposte to atheist mockery and cocksure science, and to the sort of philosophy that surrenders to them. David Berlinski proceeds reasonably and calmly to challenge recent scientific theorizing and to expose the unreason from which it presumes to criticize religion.â€
—Harvey Mansfield, Professor of Government, Harvard University
"Berlinski's book is everything desirable: it is idiomatic, profound, brilliantly polemical, amusing, and of course vastly learned. I congratulate him.â€
—William F. Buckley Jr.
"With high style and light-hearted disdain, David Berlinski deflates the intellectual pretensions of the scientific atheist crowd. Maybe they can recite the Periodic Table by heart, but the secular Berlinski shows that this doesn't get them very far in reasoning about much weightier matters.â€
—Michael J. Behe, Professor of Biological Sciences, Lehigh University, bestselling author of Darwin's Black Box and The Edge of Evolution
"David Berlinski plus any topic equals an extraordinary book.â€
—Chicago Tribune
Product Description
Militant atheism is on the rise. Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens have dominated bestseller lists with books denigrating religious belief as dangerous foolishness. And these authors are merely the leading edge of a far larger movement–one that now includes much of the scientific community.
"The attack on traditional religious thought,†writes David Berlinski in The Devil's Delusion, "marks the consolidation in our time of science as the single system of belief in which rational men and women might place their faith, and if not their faith, then certainly their devotion.â€
A secular Jew, Berlinski nonetheless delivers a biting defense of religious thought. An acclaimed author who has spent his career writing about mathematics and the sciences, he turns the scientific community's cherished skepticism back on itself, daring to ask and answer some rather embarrassing questions:
Has anyone provided a proof of God's inexistence?
Not even close.
Has quantum cosmology explained the emergence of the universe or why it is here?
Not even close.
Have the sciences explained why our universe seems to be fine-tuned to allow for the existence of life?
Not even close.
Are physicists and biologists willing to believe in anything so long as it is not religious thought?
Close enough.
Has rationalism in moral thought provided us with an understanding of what is good, what is right, and what is moral?
Not close enough.
Has secularism in the terrible twentieth century been a force for good?
Not even close to being close.
Is there a narrow and oppressive orthodoxy of thought and opinion within the sciences?
Close enough.
Does anything in the sciences or in their philosophy justify the claim that religious belief is irrational?
Not even ballpark.
Is scientific atheism a frivolous exercise in intellectual contempt?
Dead on.
Berlinski does not dismiss the achievements of western science. The great physical theories, he observes, are among the treasures of the human race. But they do nothing to answer the questions that religion asks, and they fail to offer a coherent description of the cosmos or the methods by which it might be investigated.
This brilliant, incisive, and funny book explores the limits of science and the pretensions of those who insist it can be–indeed must be–the ultimate touchstone for understanding our world and ourselves.

Europe Week Ahead: Fallout from FOMC
The fallout from this week's decision by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee to start reducing its bond buying program later this year will likely dominate financial markets next week as yields continue to rise and investors turn away from risk.

Over half of the UK's business IT networks (51 percent) were breached during 2012 due to employees using their personal devices at work, according to research carried out by Virgin Media Business.
Some 500 British CIOs were questioned on the pitfalls of the consumerisation of IT and bring your own device (BYOD) schemes for the survey.
It was also revealed that networks were more likely to be compromised in larger organisations with SMEs experiencing 25 percent fewer security breaches.
However, Tony Grace, chief operating officer at Virgin Media Business, said that businesses shouldn't be too concerned with the results.
"Last year was clearly a bumpy road for companies introducing personal devices at work. That's natural enough as no-one has so far been able to come up with the magic solution," said Grace.
"CIOs shouldn't see this as a burden and in 2013 they can take the lessons learned and turn these personal devices into business enablers to really help drive the bottom line."
The research also highlights that tablet sales over the Christmas period were up 112 percent from last year, which means a huge number of new devices are likely to enter the office in the New Year, and this could mean more breaches in 2013.
"With sales of tablets expected to have gone through the roof over Christmas, it looks like personal devices in the workplace is here to stay," said Grace.
"But with just a fifth of large firms having a BYOD policy, businesses will continue to experience security breaches until connectivity, security and user policies are put in place."
At the end of last year Blue Coat's Mobility Study found that most organisations allow employees access to company email (83%) and instant messaging (56%) on personal devices, but far fewer open up ERP (31%), sales force automation (24%) and supply chain management (19%) applications to mobile devices that aren't corporate-owned.

The history of social work is deeply rooted in helping vulnerable populations improve their well-being, and children have been at the forefront of these efforts since the inception of the profession. Health is long understood to be critical to children's well-being. Social workers who are skilled in integrating different systems can play pivotal roles in engineering new and improving existing health-care infrastructures and can act as advocates for fusing health-service systems with other social infrastructures to optimize outcomes for children. This entry reviews trends in children's health throughout the world, particularly in the United States. It describes the dramatic improvements in reducing infant mortality, child mortality and morbidity from many infectious diseases as well as accidental and environmental causes, and the unequal progress in realizing children's health. The challenges that lie ahead that pose risks to children's health are discussed, including the health inequities created among and within countries by social, economic, and political factors. An argument for a comprehensive, integrated, evidence-based, and cross-disciplinary approach to improve children's future health is presented.
Keywords: children's health, developing countries, health, industrialized countries, United States, trends

text: I have been tasked to implement a program to "certify†beekeepers in Hillsborough County. The Board of Commissioners is implementing an ordinance to allow beekeeping on non-agricultural properties. They want prospective beekeepers to go through a practical and written course to ensure they can be responsible. The Commissioners thought the Florida Master Beekeeper program would satisfy the requirement, however a prerequisite is to be a registered beekeeper for one year. The practical will be modeled after the Florida Master Beekeeper tests. The candidate will inspect a hive from start to finish and tell the tester what they are doing and looking for. The second part is a written test. I am looking for the 50 most important questions for the written exam. It should include hive placement and how to be a good bee neighbor, disease control, best management practices, and enough knowledge to correctly answer questions from neighbors or the media. What do you think are the 50 top questions? Thank you. If the ordinance is implemented it will protect beekeepers and allow beekeeping in the city similar to the state initiative. Hillsborough County has the most new beekeepers per year, over 100, in the state of Florida for the past few years. This could easily become the model for other municipalities.

Notre Dame's Fighting Irish will be seeing red, and white, when they meet Oklahoma Saturday.
Sooner fans in even-numbered sections of Memorial Stadium will be dressed in red, and those in odd-numbered sections white.
Red and white towels will also be distributed to the fans as they enter the stadium.
Oklahoma's Athletic Department labeled the clothing scheme "Stripe the Stadium" day in hopes of cheering the Sooners to victory.
"I'm really excited," said student Tanner Brodess said. "I hope OU pulls it out."
Oklahoma fans see the game as an opportunity to avenge a historic loss to Notre Dame 55 years ago when the Irish ended OU's 47-game winning streak with an unexpected 7-0 victory in the stadium.
Bud Wilkerson was the Oklahoma coach then, and his team hadn't lost a game since a 1953 defeat by Notre Dame.
Notre Dame is the undfeated team this time, having won its first seven games of the season. OU has lost only one game. Both teams are ranked in the nation's top 10.
The Irish and Sooners have met only nine previous times, with Notre Dame holding an 8-1 winning edge. Oklahoma's only win was in 1956 in South Bend, a 40-0 crushing of the Irish.
"It's a huge, huge game and it has national ranking implications," said Sooner fan Dwayne Basey.
It also is a rivalry with a colorful past.

Very cool race (not an actual race, just a standing record attempt). Kiteboards share a class with other fully-foiling sailboats. Zach Marks just set the new record on a foilboard. The previous outright record holder was the foiling MOD70 Trimaran Phaedo3 (A famous sailboat that seems to break every record, every year).
Congratulations to Zach Marks!

I bought a 12 volt plug after market and it works fine when we are plugged in.
Think he is using a brick adapter, Gary? Which was my next guess of possible failure.
I am under the impression that his TV worked fine until now.
Trying to find out how to check amps using a military meter.
I think you meant to say MULTI meter not MILITARY meter.
No he needs a military multimeter.
