(Adds U.S. statement to the OPCW In paragraphs 11-12, 17)
By Michelle Nichols
UNITED NATIONS, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Syria has submitted a new 100-day plan for the removal of its chemical weapons after failing to meet a Feb. 5 deadline, but the international mission overseeing the operation believes it can be done in a shorter time frame, diplomats said on Friday.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons executive committee met on Friday in The Hague to discuss the joint OPCW and U.N. mission amid growing international frustration at Syria falling behind on its commitments.
The Syrian government, locked in a three-year-old war with rebels seeking President Bashar al-Assad's overthrow, failed to meet the Feb. 5 OPCW deadline to move all of its declared chemical substances and precursors out of the country.
The final deadline under the OPCW plan is for all of Syria's declared chemical materials to be destroyed by June 30.
"The Syrian 100 day plan for removal of the chemicals, on which we have been briefed, is not adequate," Philip Hall, head of the British Foreign Office Counter Proliferation Department, told the OPCW, according to a copy of his statement.
"We now urge the Syrian authorities to accept the proposals submitted by the Operational Planning Group that provide for removal in a much shorter time frame, without compromising on security," he said.
A senior U.N. diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the international mission believes the operation can be carried out before the end of March, adding that Syria's proposed end-May deadline would not leave enough time for the chemicals to be destroyed before the end of June.
The OPCW declined to comment on Syria's proposal.
The United States has sent the MV Cape Ray, a ship outfitted with special equipment to neutralize the worst of Syria's chemicals at sea, and says it will need 90 days to complete the destruction.
Assad agreed to destroy his chemical weapons following global outrage over a sarin gas attack in August. The world's deadliest chemical attack in 25 years, it sparked a U.S. threat of military strikes which was dropped after Assad's pledge to give up chemical arms.
"The international community has put into place everything that is necessary for transport and destruction of these chemicals. Sufficient equipment and material has been provided to Syria. The ships to carry the chemicals away from Syria are waiting," said Robert Mikulak, U.S. ambassador to the OPCW.
"The U.S. ship to destroy CW agent and precursors is now in the region and waiting. Commercial facilities to destroy other chemicals have been selected and contracts awarded; they are waiting. And yet Syria continues to drag its feet," he said.
U.N. disarmament chief Angela Kane said on Thursday in New York that any new plan would need to be endorsed by the OPCW and the U.N. Security Council.
The deal for Syria to give up its chemical weapons, brokered by the United States and Russia, was enshrined in a U.N. Security Council resolution in September.
The resolution does not authorize automatic punitive action in the form of military strikes or sanctions if Syria does not comply. At Russia's insistence, the resolution makes clear a second council decision would be needed for that.
Russia has made clear, however, it would not support the use of force against Assad's government, a close ally.
Of Syria's 1,300 tonnes of declared chemicals, Mikulak said, 95.5 percent of the worst toxins and 81.1 percent of the so-called priority two chemicals remained in the country. The worst chemicals are supposed to be destroyed by the end of March and the rest of the arsenal by the end of June.
"Syria should revise its 100-day transport schedule to embrace the recommendations developed by the OPCW, the UN ... to expedite removal," said Mikulak.
Sigrid Kaag, head of the international mission, said earlier this month that she did not believe the Syrian government was intentionally delaying the removal of its arsenal, but that accelerated cooperation was vital to meet the mid-year deadline.
"Intermediate milestones ideally should have been met, they have not been met, there are delays," she said. "Delays are not insurmountable. Delays have a reason, there's a rationale, there's a context."
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a report last month that Syria has enough equipment to transfer the chemicals out of the country. Syria has blamed the delays on security concerns, a lack of equipment and the weather. (Additional reporting by Lesley Wroughton and Sara Webb; Editing by David Gregorio and Mohammad Zargham)

- British GP - FP2
Ferrari and Red Bull back in the hunt - Massa
Felipe Massa says the resurgence of Ferrari and Red Bull in Silverstone makes the loss of track time which followed his FP1 crash even more frustrating.
Massa put his car in the wall on the exit of Stowe after the first half hour of FP1, getting out of shape and running onto the asphalt, missing the rest of the session as well as a significant chunk of FP2. Ferrari and Red Bull were both off the pace of Mercedes and Williams in Austria but appeared to have made significant gains on the latter in Silverstone, something Massa is concerned about.
When asked if Williams could repeat its impressive Austria exploits, Massa said: "I think it will be more difficult on this track, definitely. We have seen already that Ferrari and Red Bull are stronger than the last track so we need to try to see what we can do, it won't be so easy, the fight."
Though he did get back on track, Massa admits the useful data obtained from that session was limited as Williams had to put old parts back on the car to fix the damage.
"For sure it was not a very positive day for me because of the crash. I'm very disappointed to have that crash, to start the session. I lost time on the second session and I had to put some old pieces on the car that were old spec - which shouldn't be a problem for tomorrow, but today yes [it was]."
When asked if the crash and subsequent loss of track time will effect him going into FP3 on Saturday morning, Massa said: "A little bit, yes. Not 100% but a little bit. For sure, we need to keep working and improving the set-up for tomorrow as well."
Susie Wolff stopped out on track in FP1, suffering a similar issue to Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes in FP2, before Valtteri Bottas' engine cover appeared to blow off in the afternoon session, but Massa says the team is not too worried about either incident.
"I did not have anything. I am also using a very old engine and the engine from Valtteri is a very old engine. There's already extra mileage on the engine so it was not really a big issue."

One of the great things about SQL Server Express that really sets it apart from its competition is that it includes Reporting Services. Reporting Services comes with both a wizard-based report designer and a more flexible graphical designer, both of which you can use to create reports that are driven by the data in a SQL Server Express database. However, getting started with Reporting Services for SQL Server Express can be a little tricky.
First, you need to realize that there are two versions of SQL Server Express. The basic version is SQL Server 2005 Express Edition; SQL Server Express with Advanced Services is the more full-featured version. Because the functionality of Reporting Services exceeds the basic relational database capabilities of Express Edition, Reporting Services is offered only in the Advanced Services edition.
The version of Reporting Services that's included with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services offers many of the same features as the full-blown Reporting Services subsystem that comes with the other editions of SQL Server. It shares the same designers and can render reports in a variety of formats, including Windows Forms, HTML, and Microsoft Excel. And the reports can be deployed with no additional licensing costs. Reporting Services for SQL Server Express also requires a minimum of 512MB of RAM (more is always better) and at least 600MB of free disk space.
The most important component of Reporting Services is Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). IIS is often not installed on desktop OSs such as Windows Vista or Windows XP. To install IIS on XP, open Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs, then choose Add/Remove Windows Components. Select the Internet Information Services (IIS) check box in the list of components and click Next to initiate the installation. For Windows Vista, open Control Panel, then click My Programs and Features. Click "Turn Windows features on or off," select the Internet Information Services check box, then click OK.
In addition to IIS, the system that runs Reporting Services needs to have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed.

PITTSBURGH (AP) Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson was looking for a spark.
His team was coming off what he called its worst game of the season.
So Gibson moved outfielder David Peralta into the second spot of the batting order. He responded with three hits, including a two-run homer, and four RBIs as the Diamondbacks beat the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday night to avoid a series sweep.
''I moved him up in the lineup because he's put the bat on the ball and he's been very consistent for us,'' Gibson said. ''He's very aggressive and he will play anywhere you ask him.''
Peralta was more ready for the chance than even his manager might have known.
''We had a little team meeting among the players after (Wednesday night's 5-1 loss) and just said to remember that we are a good team,'' he said. ''I think it motivated everybody. It left everybody with a good feeling.''
Arizona scored three runs in the sixth and put the game away with seven in the ninth.
''The first game was devastating because they came back and stole it for us and then we played our worst game of the year last night,'' Gibson said. ''We came back with a good effort today, played a good, clean game, got good pitching, some clutch hits then were able to have some fun in that last inning.''
The Pirates are 0 for 8 in chances to sweep opposing teams this season. They looked primed to get their first sweep as starter Vance Worley retired the first 12 batters he faced and carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning.
Ender Inciarte broke up Worley's no-hit bid with an RBI single with one out in the sixth. Peralta followed with his third home run of the year which barely cleared the 21-foot-high fence in right field and gave Arizona a 3-2 lead.
After a strikeout and groundout against Worley in his first two at-bats, Peralta was prepared for his third trip to the plate.
''I thought `I'll get him next time,''' Peralta said. ''The next time, he gave me a pitch I could hit. My whole approach is always to wait for my pitch and that's what I did in that at-bat.''
Miguel Montero was the first Diamondback to reach base after he worked a leadoff walk in the fifth.
Pittsburgh scored in the third on a double by Jordy Mercer and RBI groundout by Gregory Polanco.
The Pirates opened the fourth with hits by Neil Walker, Russell Martin and Ike Davis to extend their lead to 2-0. Walker started the inning with a double and scored on Davis' single.
Brandon McCarthy (3-10) was pulled in the sixth after issuing a two-out walk to Davis. He threw 5 2-3 innings and allowed two runs and eight hits, walked two and struck out six as he needed to work through some issues on the mound in the early stages of his start.
''Some starts you feel great out of the gates but it wasn't quite there for me,'' McCarthy said. ''I was able to hang in there and when things got dicey, I was able to make pitches.''
Pirates manager Clint Hurdle was pleased with his team's overall approach against McCarthy but acknowledged the inability to capitalize on extending the lead when Pedro Alvarez grounded into a double play in the fourth inning.
''The double play in the fourth cut down some momentum we were building,'' Hurdle said. ''We got one run in, first and second with no outs, he was able to get through that and cut off that inning. We didn't score another run the rest of the game.''
Worley (2-1) went seven innings and gave up three runs, four hits and two walks. He struck out six while taking his first losing decision as a Pirate.
''Early on I was able to get ahead in the count, throw strikes and make them swing,'' Worley said. ''And then as the game continued on I lost command of the two-seam fastball and was getting behind. The one inning, one pitch.''
Arizona sent 11 batters to the plate in the ninth and scored seven runs on eight hits. Pittsburgh reliever Ernesto Frieri gave up five hits to the six batters he faced and all of them scored.
Frieri was pulled after recording just one out for Jeanmar Gomez, who entered with the bases loaded and allowed all three inherited runners to score before being charged with two runs of his own.
''We some good at-bats early, hit three rocket shots in the second inning that we didn't have anything to show for,'' Gibson said. ''Our guys stayed with it, kept the pressure on and finally got a couple of big hits.''
NOTES: A replay review of 4:13 overturned a safe ruling as Polanco attempted to steal second base in the fifth inning. ... Starling Marte singled in the third and has reached base in all 13 of his career games played against Arizona. ... Arizona sends RHP Josh Collmenter (7-4, 3.74 ERA) against RHP Ervin Santana (6-5, 4.05 ERA) as the Diamondbacks continue their trip in Atlanta. ... Pittsburgh opens a three-game series against Philadelphia when RHP Gerrit Cole (6-4, 4.02 ERA) matches up against RHP Roberto Hernandez (3-7, 4.26 ERA).

SYCAMORE – Carla Hernandez doesn't want to leave her friends and teachers at North Grove Elementary School.
Hernandez, 10, is a fifth-grader but lives at Evergreen Village Mobile Home Park in Sycamore with her four siblings and her parents. The mobile home park has experienced two floods requiring federal assistance since 2007, so county officials are using a $4.2 million federal grant to relocate the park residents, buy the park and return it to open space.
It could mean Hernandez and about 100 other children living in the 129-unit park have to change schools or districts next fall if their parents can't find affordable housing nearby. Residents without school-age children are expected to start moving next year, and the property will be acquired from the owner by the end of 2014.
"I have more friends here that would be hard to make elsewhere," Hernandez said.
County officials are not planning to relocate families with school-age children until the current school year ends, said Paul Miller, county planning, zoning and building director. The county will make every effort to find them adequate housing close to where they live but residents are not obligated to take what county officials offer them, he said.
Meanwhile, Sycamore school district staff and and faculty will assist the students and their families. District Superintendent Kathy Countryman said there will be no disruptions of the student's education.
"We are staying the course because we feel that we have a good plan for the students in the district," she said. "Even with the possibility of them leaving the district we are not doing anything different with regard to their academic learning."
Because many of the students and their families speak Spanish, the district's English Language Learners staff will also assist them with questions or concerns about the relocation efforts. Countryman said it's important students are academically prepared by the end of the school year if they do end up leaving the district.
About half of the Evergreen Village students attend North Grove Elementary School, while most of the others go to Sycamore High School or Sycamore Middle School.
Ryan Janisch, North Grove Elementary School principal, said some students are nervous about how the relocation efforts will affect them. Teachers are helping any student who seems troubled or distracted.
He said it's important teachers and staff continue to deliver the same education the students have always had.
"They'll reassure them if they do move, there's a teacher like them waiting for them on the other side," he said.
Countryman said district officials have been discussing for several years the possible effects the relocation of the residents may have if students left and if they lose staff members as well.
"While we're not going to make snap decisions at this time because we don't want to react," Countryman said. " We have considered the impact on the district both enrollment-wise and financially."

Cubase Artist Plus Pack: Price Drop
At this years Musicmesse Show in Frankfurt, Steinberg unveiled the Cubase Artist Plus Pack; a limited edition, high quality, fully integrated recording and production system put together with the recording artist firmly in mind. This feature-laden package includes not only the brilliant Steinberg CI2+ USB audio interface and control surface but also, the full Cubase Artist 6 DAW software which makes use of the very latest Cubase digital technology. The aim of the Artist Plus pack is to ease the burden of the musician or vocalist so that they can concentrate on giving the best performance possible, without being concerned with negotiating an unecessarily complicated user interface in order to capture that perfect take. Don't be fooled into thinking that this is a dumbed down product though - straight forward it is - but that's always been one of the strengths of Steinbergs globally respected computer music software.
When developing Cubase Artist 6, Steinbergs engineers combined cutting edge Cubase technology with an extensive range of great musical features, effects and instruments most notably Halion Sonic SE and LoopMash 2. Also included is the new VST amp rack plug-in which really pushes the envelope sonically with it's accurate emulations of some of the best sounding amp set ups out there. The newly reworked UI makes the sequencing software an intuitive and enjoyable for both new users as well as the more seasoned amongst us.
As the flagship model in the CI range of interfaces and controllers, the CI2+ is Steinberg's all singing all dancing hardware solution, designed to integrate seamlessly with Cubase and carrying an impressive set of features and specifications. The unit boasts two high quality microphone preamps and +48v phantom power as standard. It's onboard controls include the innovative AI knob again designed specifically for use with Cubase. A particularly neat feature is the addition of a footswitch input to enable handsfree record activation, again it's these little tweaks and additions that make the Artist Plus recording experience less demanding.

Historical Note
William B[riscoe] Stone was born on April 13, 1797, in Charles County, Maryland. As an adult he practiced law in Charles County, and at one point was even considered by the U. S. Senate for a judgeship. In 1825 he married Sarah Anne Caroline Brown. William and Sarah had four children: Margaret Wade, Thomas, Mary, and Catherine. The family resided at an estate called "Haber de Venture," which passed to the children upon William's death on December 1, 1872. The property remained in the family until 1936, when financial difficulties forced the owner to sell.
Stone came from a long line of influential men who participated actively in public life and politics in the state of Maryland. Stone's paternal great-great-great-grandfather was William Stone (1603-1660), who served as Maryland's third Proprietary Governor. The Governor's son John held various public offices in Charles County, among them Gentleman Justice of the Quorom and Commissioner of the Peace. Michael Jenifer Stone (William Briscoe Stone's father) served as a lieutenant in the militia and later as a Delegate, a member of the Maryland Constitutional Congress, a Maryland Representative in the First United States Congress, and judge of the First Judicial District.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The William B. Stone Papers contain material that dates from 1762 through 1876; most of the material falls within the years 1821 through 1845. The collection consists of correspondence, most of which was written to Stone for business purposes. Also included are letters from various correspondents to Stone's uncles Walter, Daniel, and Frederick, and one letter to Stone's father, Michael Jennifer Stone.
Important subjects documented in the collection include slavery and individual slaves, legal and financial settlements, and national politics.

Detailed Description of the Collection
Series 1: Correspondence, 1762-1876 and undated (0.25 linear feet)
This series consists primarily of letters written to William B. Stone by various friends, colleagues, and clients. Also included are a few business letters written to Stone's uncles Walter, Daniel, and Frederick, as well as one letter written to Stone's father, Michael J. Stone.
Most of the letters to William B. Stone deal with legal matters such as claim and estate settlements, debt collection, and court cases. Some of these letters, however -- especially those from William Plater -- are of a much more personal nature. The Plater letters reveal much about the long-lived friendship that existed between Stone and Plater. Plater, for instance, speaks frankly about his financial straits, the death of his beloved wife, and his child's serious illness. Like Stone, Plater came from an important Maryland family; Plater's father, George, was Maryland's sixth governor.
One letter in particular within the collection stands out as a valuable account of political events in the nation's capital. A letter written by H. G. S. Key and dated 29 January 1845 mentions the Senate's rejection of Stone as a candidate for a judgeship and goes on to discuss the activities of various political parties, President Polk's new government, and Texas' admission to the Union.
The collection also contains a letter from Thomas Fielder Bowie (1808-1869), who has heavily involved in county, state, and national politics. Bowie, an attorney who practiced in Upper Marlboro, served as Deputy Attorney General in Prince George's County and later went on to participate in the Maryland State Constitutional Convention of 1851. He was a member of the judicial committee that assisted in framing Maryland's new constitution, and he was elected as the U. S. House of Representatives for the Thirty-Fourth and Thirty-Fifth Congresses (1855-1859).
Several of the letters are interesting also for their treatment of slavery. Plater's letters of 5 January and 19 February 1839, for example, matter-of-factly discuss the price and physical condition of certain slave women.
This series of correspondence has been arranged chronologically. A detailed listing of the letters (as prepared by the manuscript dealer) is available at http://www.lib.umd.edu/archivesum/findingaids/stone.pdf.

Content Insider #510 - Toys for Tots
Toys are Getting Smarter, More Educational but Riskier
By Miles Weston
"Second star to the right and straight on till morning" "Peter Pan," Disney, 1953
If you want to know what your kid is going to be begging you for this Christmas (yes, it's not too early to start planning), you have to go online and check out all the new stuff that was unveiled at the New York Toy Fair a few weeks ago,
Actually, you may want to put some of it on your own Santa list because they're so cool but yes, they can be a little creepy and can sometimes be a little too personal.
All of the great "toys" are simply logical extensions of technology you're begging to use yourself and will help your kids be light years ahead of you when they're your age!
The new stuff is the industry's way of helping people:
Think of robots as our friends
Live in a AR/VR/MR (augmented, virtual, mixed reality) world
Find out that the more information you give "them," the more they know about you
Today is nothing like when you and I were growing up and when we were bored, our folks told us to either: A) go watch TV (later, we were told that was bad for kids) or B) go play in the middle of the street.
We always seemed to take the third option go out and let trouble find us (It was never our fault!).
I vowed I'd never use the same line as my parents, but ..."kids today have it so good, so easy!"
How did we get to this "start 'em right" point?
When our kids were growing up, the Internet was almost everywhere. Sure, it was slow in some places but clunky computers let you visit almost anywhere in the world.
The newest crop of kids has been connected from the beginning.
They have slim computers, cool tablets and smart phones almost from the beginning even though parents may put some restrictions on how long they use the devices and sites they can visit.
We don't call kids "digital natives" for nothing, you know.
Many kids are Internet users before they learn to walk. And the age at which kids get a smartphone is creeping downward.
Mobile Kids Parents are giving their children a smartphone at an earlier and earlier age so they can stay in touch with them for their security and for other uses.
eMarketer estimates that 11.0 million children under 12 in the US will own a mobile phone and use it at least monthly this year, as will 22.1 million 12to 17-year-olds.
Influence Central's report "Kids & Tech" notes that:
- The average child gets his/her first smartphone at 10.3 years
- 55 percent of the kids prefer to use tablets during car rides (looking at the scenery is so yesterday)
- 64 percent have access to the Internet with their own laptop or tablet
- 39 percent have a social media account at 11.4 years, 11 percent before age 10
- 76 percent access the Net in the same room with the folks but that's down from 85 percent in 2012
- 24 percent access the Net in their bedrooms, compared to 5 percent in 2012
Yeah, it's a lot like Harry Chapin's song, Cat's in the Cradle ..."I'm going to be like you, Dad."
Entertainment Tools Kids were born connected today and the digital natives don't seem to care how they get their entertainment TV, tablet, smartphone. In fact, many of them use all three of the communications/viewing devices at the same time.
Although all of that connectivity is to help the kids with school and their education, you do know they also watch their favorite content as well, right?
At the end of last year, Nielsen noted that kids 2-11 years old averaged 19 hours 15 minutes of live/time-shifted video content.
While the TV was first choice for 67 percent, that was down 13 percent from 2014.
In PwC's study, kids spent 15.5 hours consuming media with over half of it (53 percent) streamed (a bad omen for traditional TV).
And when it came to short videos YouTube and now Facebook Video, 53 percent used their smartphones and 32 percent used laptops.
In addition, they increasingly play "educational games" like Minecraft and other "reward" challenges on the devices.
Digital Tools - Youngsters learn to multitask early using their phones, tablets and computers for education and entertainment. It's becoming more difficult for parents to get them to disconnect.
Good for the kids, right?
Well, Dr. Peter Whybrow, Director of Neuroscience at UCLA, calls the screens "electronic cocaine," Chinese researchers call them "digital heroin" and the Pentagon's head of Addiction Research refers to them as "digital pharmakeia" (Greek for drug).
Maybe that's why Silicon Valley bosses and engineers send their kids to low-tech, no-tech private schools like Waldorf or Montessori schools and similar institutions.
The new toys that were introduced aren't inherently evil; it's just that parents have to have a serious sit-down talk with the kids to let them know that too much of a good thing is too much.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both set limits with their youngsters, including no-tech sit down dinners, which I personally would like to see more adults practice when they go out for dinner (Yes, take the stupid cap off too!).
But I digress.
The NY Toy Fair introductions were great as long as parents understand the stuff may be cool but supervision and limitations have to be observed. And yes, there are "a few" risks.
One of the neatest items at the Fair that most parents would like their kid to have was BB-8.
Yep, fresh from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the little guy responds to some select voice commands and uses sensors to follow you around.
He's a helluva' lot of fun and just a great way to start your youngster's understanding that robots are your friends and not like the Terminator.
Of course, BB-8 wasn't alone at the Toy Fair.
There were robots and robot kits that parents will want to consider this Christmas for their kids that let youngsters develop their engineering and programming skills for the future.
Now I don't know about you, but this year's version of "everyone's favorite talking teddy bear", Teddy Ruxpin, looks a lot like Ted in Universal's 2012 movie. You know, the crude teddy bear that became John's inseparable beer-drinking, TV-watching, inappropriate-acting companion.
The new Teddy Ruxpin has a motorized mouth, LCD eyes with 40 animated expressions and touch sensors.
Balancing "education and fun", Teddy comes with 10 preloaded adventure tales as well as downloadable stories he can spin for your kids.
Actually, at $99, he's a pretty cheap babysitter and a time saver for multi-tasking parents who don't have time to read to their kids.
At least you'll know he won't help your child understand how to talk Uber-isms. But someone will probably figure out how to hack him and give him some new adventures to share.
Oh yeah, that's right; they did already!
Of course, there were other cuddly teddy bears at the Toy Fair that were smarter, more interactive.
If they can talk, they will!
We don't gender-classify toys, but what little girl wouldn't want the latest Barbie ... the Hello Barbie Hologram?
Think of her as a child's version of Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri. Ask her things and she answers. Or tell her to remember certain things, done.
That's right she learns as she goes along.
You can be certain Mattel learned from their earlier Hello Barbie experience when she was capturing all of that data so the company could better meet the wants/needs of the kids.
Oh they also found only out there were a few security holes that could be exploited by nasty folks.
VTech learned a lot from last year's hacking adventure when more than 6.4M children's account information was stolen.
The new child-safe, walled garden solution gives them an ecosystem that's a lot like you might find with the iPad or Amazon Fire. Of course, as the kids get older (or figure out how to work around stuff) they can go outside the VTech ecosystem and message browse the web and do things ... with a parent's/guardian's supervision.
Because of the robust rubber bumpers, the tablets aren't as sleek as the iPad; but still with adult approval (they say that a lot this year), they can send text, photos and images to friends,
That's right, pictures too because it has a swivel 2MP camera as well as 8GB of on-board storage. Need more storage? Slide in up to 32GB-capacity microSD cards.
Now I know there are a whole lotta' nay-sayers who are positive VR (Virtual Reality) is going to fall on its proverbial ***.
Wrong Kemosabe!
Just because a gazillion HMDs (head mounted displays) haven't been bought and half-a-gazillion games and movies aren't being viewed right now, it's obviously a failure.
We saw some fantastic trailers of the stuff that are coming out this year at Sundance.
We've seen the breath-taking work that Lucas Wilson, of SupersphereVR; Fred Beahm, of SplicedFilms; Nick Bicanic, of RVLVRLabs; Lewis Smithingham, of 30Ninjas; and other creatives have done who have mastered the new visual storytelling techniques.
Mark Poppin, at BabelTech Reviews; and pixel researcher Jon Peddie keep telling me the new VR games will keep you immersed in the action for hours; and like the VR films, it's never the same thing twice!
So obviously, VR was big at the NY Toy Fair!
Uncle Milton and Sakar were just two of the firms that announced products that let kids slip into a virtual world to have fun, enhance their education and give them new ways of thinking/viewing the world around them.
The Discovery line already comes with a selection of 360 apps and all of the manufacturers said they're busy ramping up even more adventures, opportunities for the holiday.
The funny thing is the Toy Fair folks had their HMDs priced around the $50 mark; which is a whole lot cheaper than Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear, HTC Vive and the myriad of other options that are out there for "adults."
Sure, we know, those are at the top of dad's gift list for the 4-month old.
The category that has made me reassess how big the AR (augmented reality) is going to be was the proliferation of AR stuff for kids.
AliveLab was just one of dozens of firms that showed off an array of AR things 20 masks, 4 coloring books, 3 sticker books, 5 storybooks.
Everyone at the fair said the same thing, "Pokemon Go legitimatized AR in the younger generation."
I get it!
It's a great way to leverage technology and make it an integral part of a youngster's educational and play time.
Between VR and AR, your little ones can grow up with a world of "different" friends in totally different places that only they know ... jeezz!
But the "toy" that any dad would like to help his youngster with is obviously the Air Hogs DR1 FPV Drone with headset!
Come on, we're talkin' a super cool micro drone that not only includes a controller, but also a VR headset.
Freakin' Awesome!
Use it with your (ooppss, his/her) smartphone and you can fly and maneuver at blazing speeds.
The Air Hog's camera sends live video back to the headset so you experience everything just as the pilot would. Of course, if you're afraid of heights, they have a car version too.
Smart toys are projected to be an $8.8B business by 2020 because kids are growing up connected and parents are lusting for the next great tech distraction (educational, play thing).
The biggest leap of faith for most parents is to make sure the kids' safety and privacy are protected, which is no small task.
In the U.S., we have the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and every country has very strict regulations and protection agencies that pay close attention to little things like hackability, information gathering and data usage.
That's why even before the New York Toy Fair, Germany advised parents to ditch their kids' blond, preppy doll My Friend Carla because "she" was asking youngsters personal questions like favorite shows and toys and then selling that information to people who might find it useful.
The folks at Woobo, which stores information so it can learn to be a voice assistant for your child, are walking a fine line.
The screen face, touch sensor belly and microphone in the head "learn" how to talk with your kids.
It uses AI to learn how to process what is said, which the company says is the same thing Alexa and Siri do. Of course, those two aren't targeting impressionable, trusting kids.
Woobo is going to abide by COPPA regulations and delete the recordings within 30 days. Eventually (they hope), the AI learning will be so good it won't need to store anything at all.
The smart toy makers say parents don't rally mind companies watching and checking in on their kids as long as they know about it (no ****?).
In the meantime, they're going to build in safeguards, add robust security and be very transparent with parents.
Of course, as the Indian Chief said, "Sometime, you win; sometime, we win."

Williams Selyem Allen Vineyard Chardonnay 2015
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
A standout region for its decidedly Californian take on Burgundian varieties, the Russian River Valley is named for the eponymous river that flows through it. While there are warm pockets of the AVA, it is mostly a cool-climate growing region thanks to breezes and fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean.
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reign supreme in Russian River, with the best examples demonstrating a unique combination of richness and restraint. The cool weather makes Russian River an ideal AVA for sparkling wine production, utilizing the aforementioned varieties. Zinfandel also performs exceptionally well here. Within the Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. The former, farther from the ocean, is relatively warm, with a focus on red and white Bordeaux varieties. The latter is the coolest, foggiest parcel of the Russian River Valley and is responsible for outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it's grown and how it's made. In Burgundy, Chardonnay produces some of the finest white wines in the world, typically tending towards minimal intervention in the winery and at its best resulting in remarkable longevity. This grape is popular throughout the world, but perhaps its second most important home is in California, where both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines enjoy great popularity. Oregon, Australia, South America, South Africa, and New Zealand are also significant producers of Chardonnay.
In the Glass
When planted on cool sites, Chardonnay's flavors tend towards grapefruit, green apple, minerals, and white stone fruit, while warmer locations coax out richer, more tropical flavors of fig, melon, and pineapple. Oak can add notes of vanilla, coconut, and spice (as well as texture), while malolactic fermentation can impart soft, buttery acidity.
Perfect Pairings
Chardonnay is as versatile at the table as it is in the vineyard. The crisp, clean, Chablis-like styles go well with simple seafood, light chicken dishes, and salads. Richer Chardonnays marry well with cream or oil-based sauces.
Sommelier Secret
Since the 1990s, big, oaky, buttery Chardonnays from California have enjoyed explosive popularity. More recently, the pendulum has begun to swing in the opposite direction, towards a clean, crisp style that rarely utilizes new oak. These Old-World style wines have been dubbed the "New California Chardonnays," and anyone who claims they do not like Chardonnay should give them a try.

Ecstatica series
Group DescriptionA pair of games by Andrew Spencer + co. featuring the Dark Ages adventures of a nameless hero and the magic-wielding enchantress Ecstatica in medieval Europe facing off against a wide array of monstrous and supernatural foes. All this in pseudo-3D: instead of animating characters (against matte painting-style static backdrops) using flat-faced polygons, they are all made of abstract collections of "spheroids" -- roundish blobs in their sum suggesting believable movements of comic and fanciful beings.

By Luis CocÛn, communications center liaison for CFCA in Guatemala
Recently CFCA's Hermano Pedro project in Guatemala organized its first public market called "Hope for a family market."
More than 200 mothers of sponsored children showed up to sell their goods, and more than 400 people in the community of Santo Domingo came to purchase and taste a wide variety of products and services.
Local CFCA staff members in Santo Domingo organized the market to showcase the products that mothers of sponsored children have grown from CFCA's sustainable sponsorship benefits, such as seeds, trees, animals, fertilizer, fabrics, livelihood programs, etc.
In this way mothers sold items such as corn, beans, bananas, plantains, herbs, chili peppers, tangerines, papaya, oranges, watermelon, yucca, chocolate, coffee, cheese, sausages, tamales, fruit drinks, baskets, hens, chickens, turkeys, napkins, clothing and much more.
"We no longer give a bag of food, but sustainable sponsorship benefits," said Josefina Poz, coordinator of the CFCA community in Santo Domingo. "That is what we are seeing today, the results of those benefits. We have seen families convinced that they can work this way. They are not satisfied just with receiving things; now they are motivated to work and produce, and that motivates us."
This activity has also allowed these mothers to meet and learn from one another as well as create income for their families. Another important benefit was their gathering to have fun, share common experiences and feel part of a community.
Edgar, 17, is sponsored through CFCA and is in the CFCA Scholarship Program.
"My mother and I have come to sell cheese," he said. "This market helps us because in our village it is hard to sell the cheese and today we have already sold 6 pounds. I am happy because we learned many things, and this motivates me to continue my studies, help my mother and have fun."
Paulina has two sponsored children: Maria, 15, and Paulina, 8.
Paulina learned to produce chocolate and "cafÈ de maÌz," a coffee-like drink made from a mixture of cereals including corn. She now sells these items in the market.
"I feel happy because this shows that women are able to provide for our children," Paulina said. "We are able to have a business and not be completely dependent on our husbands' income. We can contribute to the economy of our home."
The CFCA staff in Santo Domingo was satisfied with this market and hopes to repeat the activity in six months.
Through these events, CFCA is working to strengthen the self-esteem and confidence of the families in the sponsorship program. As families find resources for self-sufficiency, this empowers them and gives them hope for the future.

Written by Bjorn Buckwalter, bjorn.buckwalter\@gmail.com -} module System.Log.Handler.Log4jXML ( -- * Introduction {- | This module provides handlers for hslogger that are compatible with log4j's XMLLayout. In particular log messages created by the handlers can be published directly to the GUI-based log viewer Chainsaw v2[2]. The set of log levels in hslogger is richer than the basic set of log4j levels. Two sets of handlers are provided with hslogger4j, one which produces logs with hslogger's levels and one which \"demotes\" them to the basic log4j levels. If full hslogger levels are used some Java installation (see below) is necessary to make Chainsaw aware of them. Usage of the handlers in hslogger4j is analoguous to usage of the 'System.Log.Handler.Simple.StreamHandler' and 'System.Log.Handler.Simple.FileHandler' in "System.Log.Handler.Simple". The following handlers are provided: -} -- ** Handlers with hslogger levels log4jStreamHandler, log4jFileHandler, -- ** Handlers with log4j levels log4jStreamHandler', log4jFileHandler' -- * Java install process {- | This is only necessary if you want to use the hslogger levels. Add @hslogger4j.jar@ from @contrib\/java@ to your classpath. To use you will also need to have the jars @log4j-1.3alpha-7.jar@ and @log4j-xml-1.3alpha-7.jar@ that are distributed with Chainsaw on your classpath. (On Mac OS X I added all three jars to @~\/Library\/Java\/Extensions@. It seems that it is not sufficient that Chainsaw already includes its jars in the classpath when launching - perhaps the plugin classloader does not inherit Chainsaw's classpath. Adding the jars to @~\/.chainsaw\/plugins@ wouldn't work either.) If for whatever reason you have to rebuild the hslogger4j jar just run @ant@[3] in the @contrib\/java@ directory. The new jar will be created in the @contrib\/java\/dist@ directory. The Java source code is copyright The Apache Software Foundation and licensed under the Apache Licence version 2.0. -} -- * Chainsaw setup {- | If you are only using the basic log4j levels just use Chainsaw's regular facilities to browse logs or listen for log messages (e.g. @XMLSocketReceiver@). If you want to use the hslogger levels the easiest way to set up Chainsaw is to load the plugins in @hslogger4j-plugins.xml@ in @contrib\/java@ when launching Chainsaw. Two receivers will be defined, one that listens for logmessages and one for reading log files. Edit the properties of those receivers as needed (e.g. @port@, @fileURL@) and restart them. You will also want to modify Chainsaw's formatting preferences to display levels as text instead of icons. -} -- * Example usage {- | In the IO monad: > lh2 <- log4jFileHandler "log.xml" DEBUG > updateGlobalLogger rootLoggerName (addHandler lh2) > h <- connectTo "localhost" (PortNumber 4448) > lh <- log4jStreamHandler h NOTICE > updateGlobalLogger rootLoggerName (addHandler lh) -} -- * References {- | (1) <http://logging.apache.org/log4j/> (2) <http://logging.apache.org/chainsaw/> (3) <http://ant.apache.org/> -} ) where import Control.Concurrent (ThreadId, myThreadId) -- myThreadId is GHC only! import Control.Concurrent.MVar import Data.List (isPrefixOf) import System.IO import System.Locale (defaultTimeLocale) import Data.Time import System.Log import System.Log.Handler.Simple (GenericHandler (..)) -- Handler that logs to a handle rendering message priorities according -- to the supplied function. log4jHandler :: (Priority -> String) -> Handle -> Priority -> IO (GenericHandler Handle) log4jHandler showPrio h pri = do lock <- newMVar () let mywritefunc hdl (prio, msg) loggername = withMVar lock (\_ -> do time <- getCurrentTime thread <- myThreadId hPutStrLn hdl (show $ createMessage loggername time prio thread msg) hFlush hdl ) return (GenericHandler { priority = pri, privData = h, writeFunc = mywritefunc, closeFunc = \x -> return () }) where -- Creates an XML element representing a log4j event/message. createMessage :: String -> UTCTime -> Priority -> ThreadId -> String -> XML createMessage logger time prio thread msg = Elem "log4j:event" [ ("logger" , logger ) , ("timestamp", millis time ) , ("level" , showPrio prio) , ("thread" , show thread ) ] (Just $ Elem "log4j:message" [] (Just $ CDATA msg)) where -- This is an ugly hack to get a unix epoch with milliseconds. -- The use of "take 3" causes the milliseconds to always be -- rounded downwards, which I suppose may be the expected -- behaviour for time. millis t = formatTime defaultTimeLocale "%s" t ++ (take 3 $ formatTime defaultTimeLocale "%q" t) -- | Create a stream log handler that uses hslogger priorities. log4jStreamHandler :: Handle -> Priority -> IO (GenericHandler Handle) log4jStreamHandler = log4jHandler show {- | Create a stream log handler that uses log4j levels (priorities).

well you obviously have some very warped views. i dont think many people on this board would agree that being a bartender through college is something to look down upon. however, i dont care to write anything more because i would bet that you dont really feel that way. you just created your account very recently in order to post controversial comments and insult people.
i didn't quit stumpy. i just don't happen to be one of the few people that use this board for arguing and attacking other posters. we have our whole lives/careers to do that. and yes, if you truly do feel that way then you did make some good points. but i still think what you said to the other poster (and me) was wrong. i just dont have the time to write long annoying posts while im at work actually doing something.
This is sort of on-topic. Did anyone see the Apprentice last night? I have never watched, but there was some guy who mentioned his Mensa membership in about his first 30 seconds of face time. Trump made him a team leader and they promoted Sam's Club by giving out empty gift bags. He did not come across well, made two total enemies, and would have gotten fired for sure except this one gal could not keep her mouth shut and kept interrupting Trump while he was telling Mensa-boy what an idiot he was. I would bet that Mensa applications drop, but probably nobody smart enough to be in Mensa is watching the apprentice in the first place.Side note: You think trying to get into Yale is hard? The Apprentice had a million app's for 18 spots. And they still made some questionable picks, IMHO.

John Habib's Track and Field: Memorial star is a Case study in effort
PEOPLE who complain a 24-hour day is not enough to get things done should take note of Manchester Memorial junior Shawn Case.
Aside from going to school every weekday, Case finds time to take an aviation class three times a week after school.
So what's the big deal about that? Well, Case also finds time to practice the triple jump, pole vault and 300-meter hurdles.
"Half the time he practices with us and the other half on his own," said Memorial head coach Tom Lynch. "His aviation class at the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is 90 minutes after school three days a week. That means on those days he gets his workouts in for track around 5:30 or 6 o'clock in the morning by himself. That's dedication."
The results in the early going have been nothing but outstanding from Case. In Memorial's opening dual meet against Bishop Guertin of Nashua last week, Case posted a 41-6.50 leap in the triple jump and a 11-6 mark in the pole vault. Case is tops so far in those events in the Division I circuit.
Case's 43.60 time in the 300-meter hurdles ranks second only to William Goulding (43:40) of Nashua North.
On Saturday, Case recorded a winning 12-6 mark in the Haverhill (Mass.) Invitational.
"There were about 25 to 30 schools at the Haverhill Invitational and it was good quality competition," said Lynch. "He entered that meet seeded fourth or fifth. Our coaching staff was just hoping he would place and instead he pleasantly surprised us with the win."
It's not the first time Case has surprised his coaching staff, or anyone else for that matter.
The 5-foot-8, 160-pound standout finished fifth in the state decathlon as a sophomore last season.
"He's off to an awesome start this spring, better than I anticipated," said Lynch. "Compared to last season, in one week he has improved by two feet in the triple jump, two feet in the pole vault and has taken a second off in the 300 hurdles. That type of improvement is done over a period of a season for many others. Shawn has the ability to go as far as he wants to this season. He's versatile, a jack of all trades in our sport."
IN the New Hampshire Union Leader's track and field spring preview, we said the Division II boys team from Souhegan of Amherst would be tough to beat. In their opening week of action, the Sabers lived up to the pre-season billing.
Senior Tanner Kent is tops in the league in the 100-meter dash (11.20) and 200-meter dash (22.90), while senior twin brothers Jacob Kittredge (52.40) and Nathan Kittredge (52.90) are the top two in the 400-meter dash. Nathan is first in the 800 meters (2:01.30), ahead of second-place Jacob (2:01.80). Patrick Lynch posted the best league time in the 1,600-meter run (4:40.80) and Ben DeForest reigns in the 110-meter hurdles (14.50).
NEWPORT had two athletes who shined in last week in Division III. Julia Sullivan won the long jump (14-11.5), finished second in the 200-meter dash (28.06) behind Taylor Morrison of Bow (27.43) and third (13.38) in the 100 meters behind Morrison (12.56) and Brooke Fortin (13.03) of Bow. Nick Greene was third (48.97) for the Tigers in the 300 hurdles behind Kearsarge's Jeff Kozikowski (46.09) and Logan Maville (46.59).
THIS WEEK in Division I , two interesting dual meets to watch finds Pinkerton Academy at Bedford while Bishop Guertin visits Gate City rival Nashua South. The Nashua North Invitational will be held Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. at the high school.
"Track and Field" appears Tuesdays in the New Hampshire Union Leader. Email staff reporter John Habib at email@example.com.

Auguste Rodin is known for his unique ability to get the supple and warm texture of skin, flesh and body out of the cold and hard medium of marble, creating sensual forms and elegant lines in his sculptures. But he was first a sketcher and painter. Moleskine was invited to create a Custom Edition notebook and Watercolour sketchbook for the Musée Rodin, the largest collection of Rodin's works.
A white outline of a female nude reclines in a sea of black, silkscreened onto the notebook cover. The design is derived from one of Rodin's drawings, echoing the strong lines and fluid contours in his work. A translucent paperband is gently wrapped around the sketchbook, just brushing the cover. Inside, blank pages are stirring, waiting to be filled with life drawings, studies and muses.
The female nude also appears on the paperband of the Custom Edition Moleskine pocket notebooks, in red and black. The museum's logo is debossed underneath. Watch how a solitary needle, tiny implements and a sharp eye create debossed designs for Moleskine Custom Editions in this video here.
Look out for the Moleskine Musée Rodin notebooks in the museum shop and on their online store here.
