Penn State has found a new head football coach. According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien has agreed to become Joe Paterno's successor in Happy Valley.
The Boston Herald reports that O'Brien has been informing people around the NFL that he has agreed to become the next coach of the Nittany Lions.
Penn State football reporter Ben Jones Tweeted that two players he has talked to haven't heard anything official and the university hasn't commented either.
Per ESPN, Penn State will make the announcement on Saturday.
O'Brien interviewed for the job earlier on Thursday.
Adam Schefter tweeted Thursday night that O'Brien will remain Patriots offensive coordinator for the rest of the season.
Joe Paterno, the legendary coach who spent 46 seasons at Penn State, was fired in November after a horrifying child sexual abuse scandal was revealed following the arrest of former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky on molestation charges.
UPDATE: USA Today also confirmed the hiring, citing a person with knowledge of the coaching search who requested anonymity because the schoool has not made an announcement.

Now this blog isn't supposed to be just about food, although with the school holidays fast approaching, I am trying out new recipes to help bring more variety to mealtimes. I tried this one on Sunday after a lovely day at a local park with my daughter and it was an absolute winner for all of us. Ok, half the food on the plate was bought ready made from a supermarket, but who says you can't cheat on the weekends sometimes?
You also could try this on a Saturday night instead of reaching for the take away menu - picking up a similar meal from a restaurant could set you back £10-£12 each! Following this recipe (that feeds four very generously) will only set you back approx. £3.00* each and it will be ready in 30 minutes from start to finish. Which means you'll have more money to put towards days out with the kids.
As we say in Greek - Καλή όρεξη!! (Kalí óreksi!) - Bon appétit!
Serves 4 Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 20 minutes
460g Chicken Fillets cut into chunks
1 x packet of Schwartz Grillmates Mojito Lime spice (or any other other herbs and spices that you like - Schwartz Perfect Shake Chicken Seasoning is also nice - just sprinkle on to your taste)
1 x tablespoon of olive oil
180g packet of antipasti Olives (we bought ones that were flavoured with sweet pepper & basil)
300g ready made potato salad
300g ready made coleslaw
250g ready made vegetable cous cous
4 x sweetcorn cobettes
4 x wholemeal pittas
o Preheat your oven to 220C/200C fan/gas mark 7.
o Chop your chicken breast into chunks and add your spices and olive oil so that all the chicken is covered well.
o Transfer to an oven proof dish and place in the oven - cook for approx. 20 minute until the chicken is cooked through (you'll want to stir the pieces to turn them half way through.)
o Once the chicken has been cooking for about 10 minutes, boil a medium sized pan half filled with water. Add a pinch of salt and add your sweetcorn cobettes. Cook for approx 5-6 minutes
o Toast your pitta breads and add the salads to your plates ready for when the chicken in cooked through and ready to serve.
P.S. The instructions on the Schwartz Grillmates Mojito Lime spice suggests mixing white rum and olive with the spices - we mixed the spices with olive oil only and it still tasted great!

BURBERRY GROUP
Evolution Securities said that Burberry's first-half trading update beat expectations once again, supporting the broker's view that the brand is likely to continue to outperform in the currently environment. Evo upgraded its full year earnings per share forecast by almost four per cent, and upgraded the shares to "buy".

CONNAUGHT
Noble said that, behind the comfort of high earnings visibility and sustained growth for years to come, Connaught is a business undergoing material operational changes. The growing prevalence of integrated contracts could drive lower cash conversion and require material IT investments, it said, switching its stance to "neutral".

PEARSON
Execution Research upped its target price for Pearson to 870p, from 750p, and kept its "buy" recommendation. The broker believes that state budget deficits in the US will drive education online, with major cost savings being achieved in K-12 and College by replacing books with e-readers, growing market share for Pearson.

Refreshing Soap
In the 21st Century soap is sold on its soft fragrances. Jasmine, rosemary, geranium and primrose. In an earlier age there was a market for almost medicinal, disinfectant soaps. The carbolic, which was made with the particular pungent phenol C6H5OH.
A scent for ever associated with schools, hospitals and other institutions up until the 1970's. Then there was the legendary Wright's Coal Tar Soap (from 1860 onwards), and if that didn't get you clean then nothing would. Don't forget the Lifeboy soap (Lever Brothers 1895) that claimed it would remove any traces of body odour. Apart from the later the others are hard to find these days. Not the products to find in a shop that sells all manner of gentle, kind to your skin, soaps.

Kim Kardashian's baby is also due in July
Kim Kardashian and her sister, Kourtney, appeared on Today yesterday morning. Host, Savannah Guthrie got the maternity questions out of the way right off the bat, saying to Kim, "We want to congratulate you on your pregnancy news." And she asked if it's sinking in. Kim said;
I think until I really start seeing, like, a belly, it won't really sink in. It's just like a weird realization until you really start seeing the physical changes, um, and every day's different.
Guthrie asked if boyfriend Kanye West's announcement of the baby was planned or did he just "blurt it out" when he told fans on stage at a concert? "No, he just kind of says what he feels," said Kim. "Once you're past the three-month mark, you're pretty safe, so he just kind of goes off with what he feels and he was feeling it that night."
As for when we can expect the bundle of joy to arrive, Kim replied: "I'm due in July." (Duchess Kate of Cambridge is also due in July. Celebwatchers will be in overdrive this summer!) Kourtney pointed out that her baby, Penelope, was also born in July. "I told her, for me, being around anyone's kids when I was pregnant is not good. Like, you need to wait till it's your own." "Because you're not going to feel the same," explained Kourtney.
Kim said Kourtney's life revolves around her kids "and I can't really understand that until it happens to me." Kim then shared an idea that Kourtney came up with. "You know what she said to me on the way over here? She said that in the old days — and maybe we should try this —" "I did not say we should try this," interrupted Kourtney. "She said, 'Like one sister should babysit all the kids so I can go and then whichever sister's babysitting should just breastfeed all the kids." Kourtney insisted, "I didn't say let's try this. But (Kim) did say, 'Does that not freak you out?' and I said, 'No, it doesn't.' " Said a stunned Savannah, "OK, well. Good luck with that and I'm sure it'll all be filmed for part of a reality show!"
She moved on to chat about Kourtney & Kim Take Miami, which debuts Sunday on E! and Kim's split from Kris Humphries. Savannah asked what's going on with the divorce, which has been dragging out in court? "It's a process," said Kim. "And, um, you know, it's happening hopefully."
Kim also said that she and Kanye "have talked" about marriage, but are "focusing on the baby." She also said she's "so content with how things are right now. And how life is and we're so happy. We definitely want that in the future, but I'm not in a rush."
Savannah also asked if the baby was a surprise?
"It was a happy …" Kim didn't finish the sentence, but went on to say, "I think you'll see in the show, (her sister) Khloe was always open about her fertility issues and I was always kind of quiet about mine and I have similar issues so it was a pleasant surprise when so many doctors were telling me one thing and the opposite happens."
She adds, "I think it's just such a blessing knowing my circumstances, which you'll all find out about."

Samsung SCX-3205W printer and WPS
Samsung SCX-3205W printer and WPS.
According to Samsung getting this printer and my system to communicate should be simplicity. Unfortunately the manual and instructions leave much to be desired.
I have an Asus P7H55-M Pro connected to a D-Link DIR-655. I want to install the printer downstairs so the family can have access there throughtheir own wireless.
Pressing the WPS button on the printer and the corresponding button on the wireless router they soon chirp and communicate with the printer's WIFI light turning a solid blue as it should. The next step gettin our computers to communicate with the printer leaves' us in a bind as we are not having any luck with the instructions or previous experience.
Can any one give me some basic steps, directions to get these systems talking to one another?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi eriebch,
You may always try a manual configuration. First off, you will need to find out if the computers in your home network can ping the Printer's IP Address. You may locate the IP Address from printer itself by printing the configuration page, find out if the Network Key(very impt.) is also correct from the print out page. If that's a hassle for you, install AdvancedIP Scanner, which will give you all the IP/MAC Addresses of all network devices=> Advanced IP Scanner 1.5 (Free) - Fast and easy-to-use multithreaded IP scanner for Windows which lets you have all of information about network computers in a few seconds.
Open up a command prompt from any computers in your network and type ping + the printers IP address for ex. ping 192.168.1.50 (your IP will be different) then press enter. If you're able to ping the printer, next thing to do is access the printer's IP thru a Web browser => http://192.168.1.50 (an example only) just to make sure that it communicates in your network.
Next thing to do, get the printer's CD and install the printer software/driver from each computer and it should detect the printer's IP Address and should install.
Please post your progress.

April 21 and 25 respectively
Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment is a fantastic expansion, and previous owners of the base game are getting it for free. The only problem is that given the (likely lucrative) timed exclusive deal with Nintendo, developer Yacht Club Games is providing a staggered rollout across multiple platforms for the update.
While "April" was pegged recently, now we know for sure that it's coming to Wii U and 3DS on April 21 and 25 respectively. Don't sleep on this one! Download it, and save it for a rainy afternoon -- it's arguably the best campaign yet.

REGINA – A strong second half propelled the No. 1 seeded Carleton University Ravens to a 69-48 win over the No. 6 seed University of Saskatchewan Huskies to secure the school's first-ever U SPORTS women's basketball title.
Carleton shot just 22% in the first quarter and 35% in the second, but the third quarter was a different story.
Carleton shot at 50% in the third frame to outscore Saskatchewan 24-14 in the quarter. The Ravens had as large as a 12-point lead before the Huskies pulled within nine at 48-39 entering the final 10 minutes of play.
The Ravens continued to take advantage of the Huskies' poor shooting in the final quarter going on a 17-2 run in the frame to take a large lead and never look back.

Summer Masikewich led the Huskies recording 19 points and 12 rebounds. Kylan Shand added another nine points, while Libby Epoch recorded eight points and eight rebounds.
The Huskies had an 8-2 lead early in the first quarter before Carleton cut the lead to two at 8-6 with just under five left. Saskatchewan went on a 7-3 run to close the quarter for the 15-9 lead after the first 10.
Carleton found a stride in the second quarter going on a 10-2 run to pull the game within one at 17-16 with just over six remaining. The Ravens tied the game with 4:11 left and took the lead on a long three from Traer at 22-19.
Saskatchewan scored four quick points out of a timeout to pull back within one. Masikewich restored the Huskies lead with under a minute and led Saskatchewan led 25-24 at the half.

Holger Schmieding is Chief Economist and Managing Director at Berenberg Bank in London.
Founded in 1590, Berenberg Bank is Germany's oldest private bank, managing €25 billion and active in all private banking business segments. It was elected Germany's Best Private Bank in 2010 by Euromoney.
The latest contributor to our Property Influencer series, Dr. Schmieding shares his perspective on international property managers. He advises companies to look before they leap into China, and prescribes diversification as a recipe for success in the property market.
Real estate markets are volatile by nature, Dr. Schmieding says, so investors must be selective in choosing property markets and try not to get caught in a bubble. He predicts emerging markets with mild inflation problems will see cooling in the future. Meanwhile, he lists Germany, Sweden and Switzerland as recovering economies that could attract big investment, describing them as primed for new capital.
In this exclusive video interview, Dr. Schmieding discusses how to avoid the bubbles and invest wisely in a recovering or potential new market.
Short on time? Skip straight to the questions that interest you!
1. How do you see the economy shaping up, and what does that mean for the property industry?
2. From an economic perspective, are there things that should be done to avoid getting caught in a real estate bubble?

In the hunt for need for speed, established economies won't be left in the 4G dust. Competing carriers in the United States are scrambling to roll out faster networks to accommodate data-heavy apps, games and video tools that consumers are asking on their phones. It is this need that has pushed mobile service giant Verizon Wireless recently splashed with its plans to roll out a 4G network in 38 US Cities before the end of 2010.
According to a report in PCWorlds, at the recent 4G World Conference, Clearwire chief commercial officer Mike Sievert envisioned download speeds 10 times faster than they are today. The company's tests have produced download speeds of more than 90 mbps and upload speed for more than 30 mbps.
100 Mbps is the data speed for a true 4G network.
2 Mbps is the data speed of current 3G network.
The 4G Service providers are finding the best projects are in emerging markets – if they can manage the risks. These particular markets are not hindered by the complexities of upgrading existing technologies and don't have any legacy of 3G services. The need is also fuelled by high demand for wireless Internet services, combined with a lack of existing infrastructure, is giving forward-thinking broadband service provides a foothold places in the emerging markets like Africa, Malaysia and Philippines.

News story
'A Framework for Sexual Health Improvement in England' sets out the government's ambitions for improving sexual health.
These are designed to be used by local organisations when they are looking at how best to provide sexual health services in their area. This includes the need for:
- a fall in the number of unwanted pregnancies
- greater efforts to prevent STIs and HIV
- an increase in the number of people in high-risk groups being tested for HIV
- building an honest and open culture where everyone is able to make informed and responsible choices about relationships and sex
- making sure that all people have rapid and easy access to appropriate sexual health services
- offering counselling to all women who request an abortion so they can discuss the options and choices available with a trained counsellor
It aims to provide the information, evidence base and support tools to enable those involved in sexual health improvement to work together effectively. This should ensure that accessible high quality services and support are available to everyone.
Effective commissioning is essential to improving outcomes. From April 2013, local authorities will commission most sexual health services, but clinical commissioning groups and the NHS Commissioning Board will also have a role. Support will be provided to these bodies by Public Health England.
Public Health Minister Anna Soubry said:
Despite some improvements, sexual health in England could be a lot better. We need to work together to see a more open and honest culture around sex and relationships. We want to encourage a culture which enables people to make informed decisions free from stigma, coercion and abuse. Sexual health can be a hidden problem, unspoken about among families and friends, and we need to work hard to change that.
To cut rates of STIs, and to increase access to contraception and thereby reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, we need a concerted effort from everyone, but especially local councils who will start commissioning services from 1 April. With the launch of Public Health England, there is a real opportunity for local councils to make renewed efforts to improve the sexual health of their communities.

SocialFlight, a general aviation events aggregator and calendar app, has launched a new initiative that provides support for online activities, including live seminars, classes, and simulcast events, allowing pilots and aviation enthusiasts around the world to participate. The company has also formed a partnership with IMC Club to host the organization's online event calendar.
Founder and President Jeff Simon, speaking at an AOPA Aviation Summit press conference, noted that organizations have had trouble hosting live webinars in the past because it's difficult to reach the GA community all at once.
"The SocialFlight community has grown to the point where it is no longer simply listing aviation events; it is actually creating more of them. This is solely due to the fact that SocialFlight makes it so easy to host a new event and communicate it to the aviation world." said Simon. "With the addition of online events, we can now offer our users the ability to take part in aviation events that transcend geography. Our hope is that SocialFlight will promote the creation of more live, online opportunities to learn and grow as pilots and aviation enthusiasts, just as it has done for traditional events."
The first to join SocialFlight's new online events is Puyallup, Wash.-based Spencer Aircraft. Duane Wetherbee, director of operations and sales at Spencer Aircraft, said that this new program helps his company get more people to take its upcoming online courses.
The first online event will be the one-hour seminar "Fabric Covering Today" on Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. Pacific time, presented by Poly Fiber and sponsored by Spencer Aircraft. On Feb. 2, Spencer Aircraft is sponsoring another seminar, "Mountain Flying in the Pacific Northwest," from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Pacific time. The presenter will be Shawn Pratt from Safety in Motion (SIM) Flight Center.
IMC Club board member Jon Roberts said he saw a natural partnership with SocialFlight. "We thought if we could be part of their calendar, it would be a great fit," he said. "We're two years into our organization and hope to triple our membership in five to six years, and SocialFlight can help with that." Simon added that the agreement was signed at 38,000 feet during a JetBlue flight to AOPA Aviation Summit.

You Know When the Men are Gone
By Siobhan Fallon
Literary fiction short stories
January 2011
Amy Einhorn Books
It rarely pays to go into any reading experience with my expectations already in place. Those expectations might be confirmed. There is the danger, however, that other ideas or insights might be lost or not given their due weight.
That was nearly my experience reading the short stories in You Know When the Men Are Gone. The collection about Army families centers around Fort Hood, and was written by Siobhan Fallon, who was an Army wife staying at Fort Hood while her husband was on two tours of duty in Iraq.
The focus is on the women and children at home, although there also are powerful insights about those who are actively serving. From the opening pages describing how the colors and tone of the base change when the troops ship out, Fallon puts the reader amongst those who stay behind.
I had expected that reading these stories would reinforce my belief that our troops need to come home from Afghanistan and Iraq. And without Fallon being political, my belief was reinforced. Characters go through heartache and harm because the troops are overseas.
But this collection of stories has something else to impart. From the beginning, I had the sense of remembering the few months I spent on base as a tween. I'm the rare Air Force brat who spent most of her life in her hometown while my father spent three tours of duty in Thailand during the Vietnam War era.
In town, we were sometimes looked down on; in stores, for example, we weren't regarded as reliable customers. I remember a particularly embarrassing episode at the local department store when the clerk somehow found out Dad was in the Air Force and not employed at a regular dad job in town. She looked us up and down while Mom was having us try on winter coats and wondered aloud whether Mom could afford to buy the coats.
This was Mom's hometown in addition to her children's hometown; she was visibly affected. Her shoulders slumped and she seemed to become physically smaller as she quietly told the clerk that yes, we could pay. It was the only time I saw my mother shamed.
The characters shopping at the commissary took me back to our marathon monthly shopping sessions on base, trudging up and down endlessly long aisles and looking at loads of things we never put in the cart -- whatever we bought that day, including milk and bread, had to last the month until next month's money came through. There were nights we had creamed hard-boiled eggs over toast and didn't realize that was the only food left.
The characters at the base hospital took me back to other corridors that also seemed to never end and always being sent here, there, up and down and around whenever we went -- check-in here, records there, X-ray over in that wing, the examining room in another area.
Just as my mother had to cope and make do while Dad was off on the other side of the world, the women and children in Fallon's stories, decades later, do the same. A mother, uncertain if her cancer has returned and due for a doctor's appointment, leaves the hospital when her angry teen-age daughter trots off with her kindergarten-aged brother. Calling the MPs brings an ineffective youngster whose report may reflect on Dad's record, Dad is on base but can't leave because of trouble in the Green Zone, the doctor is ready to tattle on her because she missed the appointment when the schools' secretaries called about the kids.
Many of the characters are on the edge; their lives could fall apart if they let them, if they believe something other than the best of their mates (regardless of the truth), if they fail to hold on any longer. When the worst that can happen does, the character most affected is not left alone to fall apart.
Most of the characters at home don't reach out for institutional help, and it's not primarily because of possible strikes against the active duty soldier. It's because of pride, of not wanting to be looked down on for not coping better, of not being shamed in front of the others also going through hardships, of not being pitied by the others when they talk about you.
That's when it occurred to me. These huge institutions such as the military will not and, as they exist now, cannot, serve the individual. Yet the individuals and their families are required to give and give and give.
An individual can rarely give enough and the least failing, the smallest inability to go above and beyond because of other circumstances, the least attempt to bring different thinking or acts into the mix, are deeply frowned upon. The repercussions can be out of proportion to the action taken or not taken, in order for the institution to continue to function as it has.
It's not that this is new to me; I've seen it happen during the course of three different careers. But the impact of the calm way in which Fallon describes the lives of the dependents of those in active service (imagine how impersonal it is to be called a "dependent" and not even a wife or child or, gracious, a human being in one's own right) brought it into sharp focus.
And that's especially true for someone who believes some institutions need to exist because of the possible benefit they can provide to individuals in a more perfect society -- public education, improved infrastructure, public safety and health care. How can institutions continue to function in a personally stifling way when their existence came about in order to improve people's lives?
It's not like I have an answer, but it is something I'm going to continue to consider. But I'm also going to continue to be proud of the families who wait for their service members to return home.

As a mom I dont always get time in to run so today I thought I would kill two birds with one stone and run to my dentist appointment and back. Let me first say, it's not a good idea! I went into the dentist and the run there was great but the run home was not so much fun. The dentist asked me if I would like something to help numb my gums while they cleaned my teeth. I don't normally have issues with the cleaning but I thought, Hey why not! I was thinking that they would take a Q-tip and run it over my gums so they weren't so sensitive to the machine. That was not the case and the dentist gave me a mouth wash to rinse with while I sat back in the chair. About 5 minutes into the cleaning I couldn't feel my tongue and my throat felt completely numb. I could really hardly swallow and all I could think about was my run to get back home and how to avoid biting my tongue off. The time seemed to drag on and my numbness seemed to increase as the cleaning went on and on and on. I finally got done and grabbed my running gear to leave and the dentist asked me if I wanted to take some floss and a toothbrush home. I wiped the endless drool from my mouth and muttered, no, thank you". I couldn't imagine where I would put those while trying not to bite my cheek and tongue. I ran out the door and down the street as my eyes began to water and my mouth was so numb and dry that I wasn't sure if I could even swallow my own spit. I finally made it home and was never so happy for a run to end. Please be aware the next time you think something is a good idea. The next time I get my teeth cleaned, I will take the approach of driving over and leaving my gums exposed to the pain and suffering. My tongue now fits back in my mouth today- thank God!

IBM is about to cut the ribbon officially opening two new state-of-the-art data centers intended to provide disaster recovery and resiliency services, one in the Raleigh, N.C. area and other in Mumbai, India.
According to Alice Williams, IBM director of strategy and portfolio for global business continuity and resiliency services, the Raleigh center just opening now is about 72,000 square feet of raised floor to accommodate a wide range of needs associated with backup and recovery with an additional 8,000 sq. ft. for purposes such as tape data storage. With high-speed connectivity available from multiple service providers as well as dark fiber line connections, the center is also designed to support the IBM SoftLayer technology approach to tasks associated with virtual machine redundancy and Big Data processing at Infiniband speeds up to 56Gbps.
[ InfoWorld's Disaster Recovery Deep Dive Report walks you through all the steps in anticipating and handling worst-case scenarios. Download it today! | Get the latest practical data center info and news with Paul Venezia's Deep End blog and InfoWorld's Data Center newsletter. ]
SoftLayer Technologies is the dedicated server, managed hosting and cloud computing provider acquired by IBM last year for about $2 billion to form the basis of IBM Cloud Computing Services.
"SoftLayer is a new tool in our resiliency arsenal," said Williams. While the new Raleigh and Mumbai data-resiliency centers can accommodate traditional hardware/software/work area disaster-recovery needs for businesses in emergencies, they are built to take on a newer type of cloud-management services recovery as well. "It's virtual server recovery," says Williams. "We spin up distributed cloud pods in our resiliency center."
+ Also on NetworkWorld:Cloud computing causes re-thinking of disaster recovery+
Laurence Guihard-Joly, IBM general manager for business continuity and resiliency services, said the Raleigh center is opening this month and the Mumbai data-resiliency center is expected to open in early September. The support for SoftLayer offers an approach for round-the-clock resiliency in production environments based on customer use of private, public and hybrid cloud services on a global basis. The "always on" expectation started with banking, says Guihard-Joly, but now it's a generally-accepted idea that any online service that's provided by business or government should always be available.
"It impacts your reputation if you have an outage," she points out. "Today we have more and more clients that have requested reduction of time recovery."
IBM is no newcomer to the disaster-recovery and resiliency arena. The two new Raleigh and Mumbail data-resiliency centers will be joining the array of about 150 other business continuity data centers that IBM operates.

Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol says that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is going to have a tough time winning if the election is a referendum on President Barack Obama's first term.
"They need to focus on the next four years," the conservative columnist told Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday. "If this election is just about the last four years, that's a muddy verdict."
"Bush was president during the financial meltdown, the Obama team has turned that around pretty well," he explained. "He's got to make it a referendum on the choice about the next four years, and explain what Obama would do over the next four years that would be bad for the country and what he would do would be good for the country."
Kristol added that President Barack Obama had been "rattled" on foreign policy.
"Voters are watching, turning on the TV. Embassies are being burned, there are demonstrations in Pakistan. What's going on there? Why is it happening? What can the next president do about this? Romney should answer that question," Kristol pointed out.
"If they just go back to mindlessly reminding people for the 5,000th time, 'Guess what? The economy's not great,' they will waste the next 10 days."

Flavanones hesperidin, naringenin, naringin, and poncirin in industrial, hand-squeezed orange juices and from fresh-in-squeeze machines orange juices were determined by HPLC-DAD analysis using a previously described liquid-liquid extraction method. Method validation including the accuracy was performed by using recovery tests. Samples 36 collected from different Brazilian locations and brands were analyzed. Concentrations were determined using an external standard curve. The limits of detection LOD and the limits of quantification LOQ calculated were 0.0037, 1.87, 0.0147, and 0.0066 mg 100 g
and 0.0089, 7.84, 0.0302, and 0.0200 mg 100 g
for naringin, hesperidin, poncirin, and naringenin, respectively. The results demonstrated that hesperidin was present at the highest concentration levels, especially in the industrial orange juices. Its average content and concentration range were 69.85 and 18.80–139.00 mg 100 g
. The other flavanones showed the lowest concentration levels. The average contents and concentration ranges found were 0.019, 0.01–0.30, and 0.12 and 0.1–0.17, 0.13, and 0.01–0.36 mg 100 g
, respectively. The results were also evaluated using the principal component analysis PCA multivariate analysis technique which showed that poncirin, naringenin, and naringin were the principal elements that contributed to the variability in the sample concentrations.

From The Monterey Herald's School Bytes to the NY Times' Room for Debate parents and educators are wondering if our kids are doing enough and if the helicopter parent is starting to crash and burn.
No, I don't think kids overall are doing enough, especially around the homestead and yes, the rotors on those helicopter parents are getting rusty. How about slowing down a bit and teaching kids how to do things and then letting them figure it out? Let them struggle through it and don't say a word if it's not done to your specifications. Let that one go, now! It can be exasperating and mind numbing after the first few times, but trust me, when they're twenty-five and still asking you to do for them, it'll be too late.

CONIFER, Colo.—A wildfire burning in the foothills about 30 miles southwest of Denver is expected to be fully contained soon and evacuation orders have been lifted.
Fire officials say they expect the Lime Gulch Fire near Conifer to be contained by Sunday evening. It is currently 90 percent contained.
No structures have been destroyed and no injuries have been reported. The fire has burned 511 acres.
Fire officials say they believe the blaze started by lightning on Wednesday. It forced about 100 people to leave their homes. Those evacuation orders were lifted Saturday night.

Good Morning!! It's been one soggy weekend here. A great time to watch scary movies and do some crafting. Everyone here had their own things they wanted to do so I stayed home and did my usual. No one likes the movies I watch so this was a perfect time to catch up on some I haven't seen. Everyone is use to me doing some of my crafting in the evenings while I try and watch TV at the same time with them. Plus, my cat has a cold so she has been sitting beside me the whole weekend. She is getting a little better today. I'm glad, she was scaring me there for a minute.
I love this week's challenge and we have a great sponsor for it. Limited Runs Digi Stamps has the cutest images for Halloween projects. These images are not ones that would scare the kids. They have also released some new digis and have many many categories of the images they have. I used the image "Witch and Sign." She is the cutest little girl that has fallen with her sign in her hands but she is still smiling. I made my card with her and spiders since there is a spider on the image. So, let's get to the prize so you can see my card.
3 Digital Stamps
Limited Runs Store
Now I want to show you the card I made with the "Witch and Sign."
The sign was blank so I added the Happy Halloween on it. The font that I used looks a little scary. It's called, "Chiller." This is one of my favorite fonts to use. This was a very easy card to make and very little items that I used. Here is my items.
Cardstock -- The Paper Studio
Paper -- DCWV
Little Witch Sign -- EK Success (Inspirables)
Font -- Chiller
Embellishments -- Dress It Up
Colored Markers
Colored Pencils
See, it was a little simple. Just coming up with the idea was the hardest part, So I hope to see your Halloween projects over at Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog. Good Luck to you all!!

NAE Members please authenticate using your NAE member credentials.
Release Date: 06/18/2007
&June 18, 2007 – nbsp;WASHINGTON -- Eighty-three of the nation's brightest young engineers have been selected to take part in the National Academy of Engineering's (NAE) 13th annual U.S. Frontiers of Engineering symposium. The 2½-day event will bring together engineers ages 30 to 45 who are performing exceptional engineering research and technical work in a variety of disciplines. The participants -- from industry, academia, and government -- were nominated by fellow engineers or organizations and chosen from more than 260 applicants.
"It is exciting to witness the energy when outstanding engineers from many different fields come together in this unique venue," said NAE President Wm. A. Wulf. "Frontiers of Engineering is a proven mechanism for traversing engineering disciplines. By exposing bright young minds to developments in areas other than their own -- and giving them lots of time to interact -- Frontiers enables advances in approaches and thinking that would not have occurred otherwise."
The symposium will be held Sept. 24-26 at Microsoft Research in Redmond, Wash., and will examine trustworthy computer systems, safe water technologies, modeling and simulating human behavior, biotechnology for fuels and chemicals, and the control of protein conformations. Dr. Henrique Malvar, Microsoft Distinguished Engineer and managing director, Microsoft Research, will be a featured speaker. His research at Microsoft has focused on audio and video signal enhancement and compression, multirate signal processing, and signal decompositions. Prior to joining Microsoft Research, Malvar headed research and advanced technology at PictureTel and the Digital Signal Processing Research Group at Universidade de Brasília.
The following engineers were selected as general participants:
Speakers at this year's event are:
The organizers of the 2007 symposium are:
Sponsors for the 2007 U.S. Frontiers of Engineering are the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the U.S. Department of Defense (DDR&E-Research), DARPA, the National Science Foundation, Microsoft Corp., Cummins Inc., and numerous individual donors.
A meeting program and more information about Frontiers of Engineering is available at <http://www.nae.edu/frontiers>.
The National Academy of Engineering is an independent, nonprofit institution that serves as an adviser to government and the public on issues in engineering and technology. Its members consist of the nation's premier engineers, who are elected by their peers for their distinguished achievements. Established in 1964, NAE operates under the congressional charter granted to the National Academy of Sciences in 1863.

This week has been manic at work which has really taken it out of me. It's literally been one thing after the other and I've not had a week like this in a very long time! Because of this I stopped keeping up with my pilates and yoga routine and I totally stopped eating healthy. This is what happened when I get stressed! I even saw off a bottle of wine and a couple of cocktails on Saturday night because it was much needed!
But, it's Sunday now and tomorrow is the start of a new week so I'm gona try and get myself back on track. Paul is doing night shifts at the moment so this eveningI'm going to make a hearty Sunday tea for us then when he goes to work I'm going to stop adulting all together and spend the night playing The Sims 4 which has become my most recent guilty pleasure!
I hope your week was a little more fun filled and exciting that mine was ! Happy Sunday!

Camps Kenwood and Evergreen are values-driven summer camps in New Hampshire. Our parents tell us regularly that one reason that they chose our summer camp community is because of our emphasis on character education. Over the course of each seven-week season, we strive to teach our campers about the value of being an honest, hardworking, empathetic, socially-conscious person. Our counselors serve as role models to their campers, actively reinforcing these values in the midst of bunk life, on our ball fields, and in the rest of daily camp life. We are so devoted to our values that we even dedicate a portion of our Friday nights to it.
After our busy, fun-filled week, we pause each Friday night to discuss and reinforce our community's shared values. As part of an inclusive community we offer two simultaneous gatherings: a historically Jewish Shabbat service, and a non-denominational, ecumenical service. Though 90% of our campers come from Jewish homes, we feel that it's important to offer a weekly Shabbat service for them while also offering a welcoming alternative to our non-Jewish friends. Campers are free to take part in either service, and most happily try out both over the course of each summer. Friday's are very special at Kenwood and Evergreen. At the conclusion of Friday Night dinner our campers, with siblings or cousins at our summer camp, participate in what we call "Brother-Sister visiting". It's a nice, relaxing time each week for the campers with relatives in the other camp to spend quality time together. Afterwards, we announce the start of services over our PA system. You can see that our campers and staff get very excited for Friday night services, as they have even created a silly, spirited dance to signal its start.
After the Service Call Dance our community members gather for our two different meetings. At our Jewish service we light candles, recite the Sh'ma, and say a few other important blessings. Our campers volunteer to lead the recitation of each prayer, poem or song, and it is common for siblings or cousins to do this together. Then, our camp director – Jason – gives a sermon that tries to highlight our community's collective values. The sermon is usually a story or allegory with imagery that is easy for our campers to grasp, and is not religiously dogmatic or Torah-based. The ecumenical service feels a lot like a Quaker Friends meeting. Camp owner and director, Scott Brody, runs this smaller service, and spends the time both reading the weekly sermon and asking his group of campers and counselors to engage in a thoughtful discussion about its meaning. At both gatherings we ask the community members how they intend to use the message in their lives during the following week. We also ask if anyone has an example of how they used the previous week's sermon to make our community a better place.
Check out some of our campers' favorite sermons from last summer
Both services are short, lasting no more than 25 minutes. By the end most campers have their arms around their friends and counselors, and there is a feeling of deep connection amongst us all. At the conclusion of each summer, a large majority of our campers tell us that Friday Night Services are one of their favorite traditions at Camp. They enjoy the quiet, the solemnity, and the chance to reflect on the values of kindness, honesty, and acceptance that are so cherished in the Camps Kenwood and Evergreen community.

of disclosure, public relations, and member solicitation. A sound business case
for conversion and the right conversion team provide the tools for motivating
members, addressing opposition, and setting the stage for solid post-conversion
public relations.
The disclosure statement and supplemental Q & A address most
questions members have about conversion, and a favorable vote should be assumed,
if the member takes the time to vote. So, part of the solicitation process involves
motivating complacent members to vote. Less than 20% of the members typically
vote in these campaigns and so a large pool of members can be contacted using
various methods. Because opposition is usually concentrated in the hands of
a vocal minority, attracting a higher percentage of membership helps secure
a favorable outcome.
The public relations (PR) plan is closely aligned with the
member solicitation plan. "The PR plan must outline the objectives, target audiences,
key messages, and tactics for getting the membership out to vote and managing
the opposition," said George Scott, principal and public relations specialist
with Toronto, Canada-based, Level Five Strategic Partners, Inc. "Front line
employees play a key role in reaching members, and successful campaigns are
both inclusive and fun. Care should be taken to ensure the management team sends
the correct messages to employees."
Community leaders and the local press are quick to embrace
the entry of a new bank into the market, and can often be counted on to voice
public support for the conversion and help with the public relations, according
to Scott. In addition to the tax revenues and CRA obligations assumed, these
leaders recognize that community banks traditionally play a major role in funding
the local infrastructure. History illustrates that new banks are quick to make
the tough loan decisions and to execute fresh business plans that are critical
to a community's growth, survival, and / or regeneration. For many community
leaders, the purpose of a credit union is sometimes fuzzy or misunderstood,
and most credit unions are seen as serving the needs of an exclusive segment,
not the community's broader interest. Thus, a bank conversion sends a strong
and proactive message that the institution wants to become a more important
community player.
Conversion specialists agree a few critics should be anticipated.
The ones that contact the conversion information line or speak with management
personnel can often become supporters. Some, though, will never be convinced.
Not only will they be motivated to vote no, they will try to lead others
down that path. A few of these critics are well known to management since they
weigh in against almost every management agenda. Other vocal critics
could include employees of competing credit unions, disgruntled former employees,
jilted job applicants, denied loan applicants, CU trade association representatives,
and consumer activists looking for a cause.
In addition, the NCUA and credit union trade associations
are taking steps to make conversion more complex and expensive. You may discover
they are working under the radar to attack your messages and obscure the issues
in an effort to influence a no vote. In what looks more like an effort
to intimidate directors looking at the process, a few CU trade associations
have vowed to interfere both directly and indirectly in upcoming conversions.
So far, members of 27 credit unions have successfully obtained
the vote. In two instances, despite the fact members voted in favor, a politically
motivated regulator intervened and issued rulings that required a re-vote, which
turned out favorable. Voting participation varies, as does the final count.
Most credit unions should expect that 15% to 20% of the members will vote as
a result of the three statutory notices mailed first class to eligible members.
Current federal rules require 50%, plus 1, of those voting to approve
the deal. Some states require a higher percentage. By way of a scorecard, the
approval ratio for a couple of conversions, for unique reasons, was just over
the 50% range, while the rest exceeded a 60% or even an 80% vote in favor.
The most costly part of the conversion process involves the
printing and mailing of notices to members. Mailing just one notice and disclosure
under the onerous pre HR-1151 conversion rules could cost over $2, and reminders
were costly as well. Recently, we've budgeted around $2.50 per member for three
notices and solicitation. For the future, as a result of proposed NCUA disclosure
rules, proposed legislative quorum requirements, and the threat of more organized
opposition we plan to increase the solicitation budget. As a result of its involvement
with the majority of the conversions, CU Financial Services has identified various
indicators for determining the correct allocation of financial resources for
getting a successful vote. Like many business outcomes, the greater the investment,
the more predicable the result.
Visionary management teams have always faced resistance when
introducing change; consider checking accounts, government securities investments,
mortgage lending, business lending, investment services, mergers, and debit
cards. A few critics always surface. Change is difficult and requires investment
and effort, but the consequences of maintaining the status quo can be much more
costly, even leading to irrelevance. The conversion to a bank charter is both
visionary and strategic. Although converting to a bank is not appropriate for
every credit union, those who have made the move have harnessed powerful marketplace
and economic forces, and their growth and success since conversion have validated
the wisdom of the decision.
Across the credit union system today, there is an abundance
of news and comment about conversions past, present and future. Unfortunately,
there is much misinformation, some of it politically motivated. For any credit
union contemplating a conversion to mutual savings bank status, which I believe
is one of the most revolutionary and exciting opportunities ever made available
to CUs for achieving successful growth, it pays to deal with experienced professional
advisors. Call CU Financial Services at 800-649-2741
to get the facts about this strategic option.

Classroom anxiety
A couple of hours before the final bell was set to ring on a recent spring day at TorresÆ school, Lysander Borrero Terry High, the lights went out Ś yet another power failure that afflicts the island intermittently.
Students immediately grew anxious to leave so they could rush to line up at gas stations to get fuel for generators, teachers said. They worried about powering computers at home to complete their homework, and charging their cellphones.
The anxiety is similar when a thunderstorm rolls in, English teacher Iliana Marrero said. Students run to the halls and look to the skies. They ask whether classes will be suspended..

Of Adolf Hitler's reading habits after he arrived in Munich in 1913, his biographer Ian Kershaw writes:
"Reading for Hitler, as in Vienna, was not for enlightenment or learning, but to confirm prejudice."
Of course that sounds reprehensible but perhaps we shouldn't risk injury hurrying to congratulate ourselves. Don't we thrill when a writer substantiates what we already believe, particularly when it's something we'd prefer remained secret? One perfectly respectable reason for reading is to vicariously try on unpleasant or unfamiliar sentiments. That doesn't make us embryonic Hitlers. A good reader reads broadly and deeply enough to anticipate and examine thoughts that challenge or violate his own convictions. And how often, when we read, are we motivated by a genuine quest for "enlightenment or learning?" Kershaw continues:
"Most of it was probably done in cafes, where Hitler could continue his habit of devouring the newspapers available to customers. This is where he kept abreast of political developments, and where, at the slightest provocation, he could flare up and treat anyone in proximity to his fiercely held views on whatever preoccupied him at the time."
In other words, along with the evil he radiated like a stench, Hitler was a familiar type – the crank, the tiresome sort of proto-sociopath who makes a lot of noise in bar rooms and chat rooms. "At the slightest provocation" is the critical phrase. All of us ride hobbyhorses but many of us know they're hobbyhorses and recognize when it's time to climb out of the saddle. The perpetually single-minded wear ideas like spiked vests and jack boots. They are humorless and boring, of course, and sometimes dangerous. Eric Hoffer built his writing career on anatomizing the type. In 1950, shortly before publishing his first book, The True Believer, he wrote:
"Perhaps people throw themselves into heated polemics to give content to their lives, to warm their hearts. What Luther said of hatred is true of all quarreling. There is nothing like a feud to make life seem full and interesting."
This is from "Sparks: Eric Hoffer and the Art of the Notebook," published in Harper's in July 2005. And go here to read what I wrote about Hoffer and the power of one book in his life.

ASUS Eee PC 1000H Windows XP Review Like a set of Russian nesting dolls, each successive Eee PC from Asus seems like it can encapsulate the previous mini notebook in its portfolio.
The latest, and the largest of these matryoshkas is the Eee PC 1000H, which shares many of the same features of its predecessor, the Eee PC 901 (including a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, a 1.3 megapixel webcam and 1GB of RAM) but has a larger 10 inch screen, more spacious keyboard and 80GB hard drive. But in comparison top oakley sunglasses to other similarly sized mini notebooks, like the $499 MSI Wind, we wish the $649 price tag was lower. (Editor Note: The ASUS Eee PC 1000HE, a descendant of the 1000H, truly surpasses its predecessor with a cheaper price, a better keyboard, 7 hours of battery life, and a peppier processor.) A Fresh, Larger Look Similar to the Eee PC 901, the 1000H has an updated look and feel from earlier Eee PC models. The glossy black "Fine Ebony" lid is accented with the new Eee PC logo in cursive script. Add in the improved silver hinge and the black on silver combination and you have a high fashion look. Unlike the 901's shiny white lid, the 1000H is not immune to fingerprints; ASUS includes a cloth for wiping down the system. With its larger 10 inch screen, the Eee PC 1000H is the largest mini notebook to date: Measuring 10.5 x 7.5 x 1.0 to 1.5 inches, the system is bigger than the 10 inch MSI Wind NB, and at 3.2 pounds is about half a pound heavier. However, the 1000H still slid nicely into a shoulder bag and felt extremely light in a backpack. ASUS has also kept the power brick slim, bringing the total travel weight to a manageable 3.6 pounds. Improved Screen Real Estate, Audio Punch The 10 inch screen allowed us to keep two windows open side by side. The matte screen looked sharp from a variety of angles when we watched clips of The Daily Show on Hulu, but colors were still somewhat cool oakley sunglasses muted. Compared to the MSI Wind NB, the horizontal viewing angles oakley sunglases were better and vertically tilting the screen caused only a bit of glare. Above the display is a 1.3 MP webcam that provided clear images and solid colors in a videoconference over SightSpeed. Similar to the 901, the 1000H includes Dolby Sound Room stereo speakers. Despite being located on the bottom of the machine, the speakers delivered strong and solid sound. Streaming music over Pandora was loud enough to fill a small living room. A Spacious Asus EEE PC 1000H Keyboard and Trackpad Underneath the screen is the largest and roomiest keyboard on an Eee PC to date. To say it's an improvement over the cramped keyboard found on earlier Eee PCs is an understatement; we didn't mis hit any keys and found typing accuracy to be quite good. However, the keyboard is not perfect; Out of the box, we noticed quite a bit of flex, which caused the keys to produce a loud clicking sound. Additionally, the right Shift key is awkwardly placed above the right arrow key. The size of the keyboard is a major step up, but we still prefer the feel of the protective coated keys on the HP 2133 Mini Note. As on the 901, the trackpad is far roomier than previous efforts and has a smooth, but textured feel. The 1000H also features dedicated left and right buttons, but we found them tough to press. According to ASUS, the trackpad supports multi touch controls, such as the ability to zoom on a picture by pinching. However, this function did not work on our unit and, due to its Chinese version of Windows XP, we could not replace the driver. (We will be updating this review.) Super Hybrid Engine and Resolution Switching Just like the Eee PC 901, there are four buttons above the keyboard that perform various functions: the first turns off the monitor, the second changes the screen resolution, the third, the Super Hybrid Engine switcher, cycles through power saving modes, and the fourth is a user definable launch key. The resolution and power mode buttons are the most interesting: The resolution switcher let us move between 800 x 600, 1024 x 600 (default), 1024 x 768 (which makes the screen taller than its border), and 1024 x 768 compress, which squashes the image vertically to make everything fit. The Super Hybrid Engine switcher allowed us to quickly cycle through power saving (1.2 GHz), auto power saving (1.2 GHz, default), high performance (1.6 GHz), and super performance (1.8 GHz) settings. We didn't notice any change in performance while switching modes, but you may want to engage this feature just to save battery life. No SSD Here, Solid Atom Performance Though the former solid state drives of the previous Eee PC provided speedy boot up times and protection due to their lack of moving parts, onboard storage capacity was rather limited. To appease those looking for a mini notebook with more space, the 1000H has an 80GB Seagate Momentus 5,400 rpm hard drive. The drive is partitioned into two 40GB sections and didn't slow down the usually speedy Eee PC boot time; the 1000H was ready to go in a pretty quick 40 seconds. Like we saw with the MSI Wind NB and the Eee PC 901, the system's 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor and 1GB of RAM provided solid performance. We couldn't run our usual PC Mark05 test on the system, but in our hands on experience, the 1000H was snappy. FireFox and Windows Media Player opened quickly, and we saw no performance hit when we conducted video calls over Skype, surfed the Web, and streamed music. The integrated graphics scored 739 in our 3DMark03 test (better than the MSI Wind NB's score of 606), and was even able to run the graphics intensive Second Life. Very Good Battery Life One of the biggest selling points of the Atom processor is the ability to provide lots of endurance, at least when paired with a nice sized battery. The 1000H's 6 cell battery lasted an impressive 4 hours and 28 minutes with Wi Fi turned on. The 1000H zipped data at a rate of 10.4 Mbps at 15 feet away from our access point and 6.1 Mbps at 50 feet. The latter figure is only marginally lower than the speed of the MSI Wind NB (7.7 Mbps) however, that system sports an 802.11b/g radio. Bluetooth is also included, which enabled us to hook up a Bluetooth mouse. Software and Extra Features Our Eee PC 1000H came pre installed with Windows XP Home. ASUS also bundles the system with InterVideo DVD xPack, Skype and Sun StarOffice Suite. Those looking for a larger mini notebook with a good sized screen and a spacious keyboard will find nearly everything they are looking for. However, the similarly configured MSI Wind NB offers comparable performance and endurance for $150 less, although some will prefer the 1000H slick aesthetics. We like the Eee PC 1000H, but we'll like it a lot more if the final pricing for the system winds up being less. NEXT POST Asus Eee PC 1101HA Seashell Netbook Review A little over a year ago netbooks were the emerging trend that had everyone buzzing.
Now white and blue oakley sunglasses the so called 'internet tablet' seems to be stealing that spotlight. We took an in depth look at this budget laptop to see if you can save money and still buy an impressive new.
