Looks like Best Buy heard about AT&T's announcement today as the electronics chain has unceremoniously returned the Lumia 920 to pre-order status on their site. What's more, it's at the lower price of just $99, meaning if you had BB gift certificates or like using their rewards system, you can now do so.
The devices are still not yet searchable, meaning we're kind of beating Best Buy to the punch here. But we imagine they will show up soon enough in all colors.
For those of you who pre-ordered earlier and still have existing orders, the good news is Best Buy will price match AT&T's new lower offering. As noted on Twitter in response to the question: "We have the 30 day Price Match Guarantee." So you may have to call and haggle with them a bit but it is certainly doable. No word on whether or not you'll get that free wireless charging plate, however there may be other ways.
Ironically, the same or URL links for all Lumia 920 colors still work, so if you feel like using them, here you go:
- Cyan - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nokia...ract_desc=
- Yellow - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nokia...ract_desc=
- White - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nokia...8814979666
- Red - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nokia...8814982744
- Black - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nokia...ract_desc=

I would not entirely agree with you on the comments you made either. As far as making reccomendations or giving advice based on my preferences. On whose preferences should I base that advice??? The fact of the matter is I had a negative experience teaching little children in Korea. I am basing any advice I give in my posts on the experience I have had. I could tell you were offended by what I had to say and for that I apologize. But on the other side of the coin you certainly did not have too many nice things to say about elementary or middle school students neither. I do not think they are brats or pricks. Maybe I just cannot deal with little kids. I would not teach Kindergarten in Canada or Korea but that does not mean I think less of people who do. So lighten up.

You'll teach a few classes a day, usually a nice apartment, 10 weeks or so a year vacation time. Plus you get a few other days off a month that hokwons will never get. University is the way to go. Pay? 1.8-2.0. But if you are at a hokwon, you'll be teaching 6,7 or 8 classes a day for the same pay. Some teachers can teach Kindy and others can't. Kindy? You'll wear out!

Make contacts, etc. Go to the various colleges and universities in your area and make yourself known and better yet, volunteer. It takes a bit of work, but, how bad do you want to land a decent job in korea? You got a choice; hokwon, a year of uncertainty and probably get screwed. Or a university where you still get a screwing but not as bad. Masters degree? Why accept the same pay with a Masters as a Bachelors!?!?!? Universities don't care about a Masters when they pay everyone the same! It all comes down to having "people skills." You got them or you don't! Back to top waterbabyJoined: 01 Feb 2003Location: Baking Gord a Cheescake pie Posted: Thu May 22, 2003 2:37 am Post subject: Lots of good points made by those for and against teaching kindergarten. Just a thought... what kind of person are you? Morning person? Night Owl? Avoid kindi if you are not a morning person, especially if you're not keen on teaching kids. Grrr. Grumpy teacher first thing in the morning... If you are not adverse to teaching Kindergarten kids, you work mornings (starting around 9am or 10am) and finish by 6pm (If you're hakwon is decent). If you work at a hakgwan teaching elementary kids and up, you'd probably start around 2 or 4pm and work until 8 or 9pm (some go later). If you teach adults only at a hakwon, you'll probably have a split shift with very early mornings and evening classes. A lot of us get regular hagkwon job (6 month or 12 month contract) up and then look for a uni position. It's easier to get a university job if you are actually in the country and available for an in-person interview. If you are signing on for a job where they tell you upfront - over the phone/email (whatever) that you won't be working kindergarten, make sure you get it in writing in your contract. You've probably seen the "Duped by Kindergarten" thread? There's lots of stuff posted here about contracts - pitfalls and perils. Try a search and see what you come up with. When you do get a contract in hand that you're interested in, post any specific question you have about that contract if you're not sure about something or want some more advice. With a degree in teaching, you'll be snappled up in no time. Good luck! Back to top Mody BaJoined: 22 May 2003 Posted: Thu May 22, 2003 1:14 pm Post subject: EPIK? Better Do Your Research First!

It all comes down to where you get assigned to in korea with EPIK and having people skills also helps. Not to mention teaching skills! It worked for many teachers that I know including me for a few years. All of us that I knew of were paid on time, in fact paid extra money during the vacation season to teach, severance was paid, airfare, and housing was fine. 3 classes a day with EPIK at that time was what was required. Hokwon teachers were doing and still are doing 7, 8 and 9 classes a day! Who wins? Go figure which is the better route. Now, I also know of the horror stories with EPIK and for that matter, horror stories are the norm in korea. I know of a teacher who left the second day at his assigned school! And he had the BEST deal in the whole group of teachers! But he didn't have finesse or people skills. The teacher who took his place stayed three years!Last edited by hellofaniceguy on Sat May 24, 2003 4:35 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top Mody BaJoined: 22 May 2003 Posted: Thu May 22, 2003 2:02 pm Post subject: People Skills?

"What you hold in your hand may look like a chapbook, but it is a magic object, a cabinet of curiosities disguised as a meditation on 'the terrible and wondrous laws of leave-taking.' Inside, a ballet unfolds. Thumbelina drifts through a landscape of unsuitable suitors, and as secrets reveal and re-clothe themselves in shifting lights and shadows, we begin to see at work a renaissance specimen logic wherein spiders' webs, bruises on cherry blossoms, storm-battered coral reefs, and the whiskered inhabitants of ceynotes transform themselves into both marvelous new world and momento mori. This 19 poem collection confronts us with the transitory nature of shelters and hiding places, the inevitable stains on the new bed, the uncertainty of days to come." Hester L. Furey, author of little Fish

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Yesterday I attended SQL Saturday 194 in Exeter for which many people deserve credit but especially the organisers Jonathan Allen & Annette Allen and the sponsors Fusion-IO, Confio Software, Nexus, Big Bang Data Company, Purple Frog Systems, Redgate, idera, Pluralsight, Jurys Inn Exeter & Wrox.
would you have any extra references on how to handle client-specific changes to the DB schema
would you have any extra references on how to handle client-specific changes to the DB schema
I promised Leo an answer, hence this blog post.
If I understand Leo's question correctly he has an application that is used by multiple clients, he has a separate instance of the application for every client, and the database requires client-specific customisations; luckily for Leo there is a new feature in SSDT that is perfect for this situation. First let's set up our solution in SSDT:
We have three database projects:
In order that the reference to table [Sales] in the two views can be resolved both of the client-specific projects have a database reference to _core:
It is those database references that allows objects in clientFoo/clientBar to refer to objects in _core. Now here's the important bit. When we set up those two database references we must specify that the objects in the referenced project are intended to be in the same database:
Having objects from one database split over multiple projects is called composite projects. The effect of this is that (by default) whenever clientFoo or clientBar are deployed the objects in _core will get deployed as well. We can see this in the output when we deploy clientFoo:
Notice how even though we chose not to deploy _core two objects have been created; table [Sales] (from the _core project) and view [vSalesPerCustomer]. This is the new feature in SSDT that I spoke of above – a deployment of a project will (by default) also deploy all the objects in referenced projects where objects in the referenced database are intended to be in the same database (incidentally this functionality replaces the "partial projects" feature from previous incarnations of SSDT).
Note that you can change this default behaviour in the advanced publish settings by unchecking the "Include composite objects" box:
Hence, with the "Include Composite Objects" setting turned on, we can deploy both projects clientFoo & clientBar and both will contain table [Sales] plus their own client-specific view:
which (I hope) is exactly what Leo was after!
That's all there is to it. A very very nice new feature of SSDT!

Great explanation, nice to see that it have been implemented in an intuitive way (which was something I couldn't say a lot for the first versions of the "Data Dude"). :-)
One additional question, how would it handle different indexes/contraints between clients? E.g. ClientFoo requirements say that a client should have one order per day and we want to implement this as a Unique constraint on Sales. Would we have to take the whole Sales table out of _core and have a different definition for each client?
Hi Leo,
Exactly the same applies in regard to indexes. They're still database objects, exactly the as views are, so you can still have an index per client. SSDT doesn't stipulate that you have to put an index or constraint definition in the same file as the table that it is defined upon.
Nice feature indeed! Does SSDT also support client-specific changes for SSIS packages or SSAS cubes? That would be icing on the cake!
No, unfortunately not :(
I have brought this up privately to the SSIS team, I think maybe I need to make the request more public. To Connect I go!
As promised:
[SSIS] We're crying out for composite projects
Nice write-up on connect. It's exactly the situation we are in and you described it well. By the way, the connect item is picking up some steam.
Hi Jamie,
What would you suggest if the new project has a different structure for the same object, like additional columns to the core table object.
Hi Kris,
In that example I would say that the new table can no longer be in "_core" and you would need to define the table in each separate project.
Unfortunately there is no notion of override i.e. If an object is defined in the referenced project "_core" and also in the referencing project (e.g. "clientFoo"), use the definition from "clientFoo". You can't do that - although that may be a rather nice feature to request on Connect.
Of course, you can also have "layers" of composite projects where you have an interim layer of projects that consume from _core, provide different implementations of certain objects, and are then consumed in your per-client projects. Of course, this could become unwieldy very quickly, but it is an option.
Hello, Jamie
I am facing a situation where I have one database project that holds objects that are general to all customers. Then I have another project that references it and holds the objects that are specific to a certain customer. The problem is that I have a stored procedure that I want to customize while keeping the original procedure in the general project unchanged. If I add the procedure with the same name I get an error that an object with the same name already exists. And it is necessary to keep the procedure's name. Thanks.
Hi Talal,
Unfortunately I don't think you can achieve what you're trying to achieve here. There is no way to have one project override what is in another. An object is either shared across all projects or none of them. Sorry.
Perhaps you could get around the problem by using Add as link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj714082(v=vs.105).aspx (that article applies to Windows Phone development but is equally applicable for any project type in Visual Studio, including SSDT)
What if I want to generate script that includes only ClientFoo objects?
Hi B Stanik,
I think you can simply publish the ClientFoo project and choose the option to generate the script rather than generate the script and run it.
This option is available when publishing either by double-clicking on a publish profile file in VS or when using sqlpackage.exe
I understand but it will include every object from ClientBar project as well. And if I uncheck 'Include composite Objects' option I would get dependency error...
I just want script with all ClientFoo objects only (VS 2010 supports that)
Is this supposed to work with schema comparisons? cause when I do that it flags everything in the core project to insert into the client-specific project.
I think this post, http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ssdt/archive/2012/06/26/composite-projects-and-schema-compare.aspx, still applies to schema comparisons even though it is 2 years old.
Jamie, You have just made my day! Even though this was posted some time ago, this solution is just what I was looking for.
How to deploy post deployment scripts in core to project to all clients
I have the same question as Ravikumar: How can we handle post Deployment / Data deployment Scripts? By default the post Deployment script of _Core won't be executed when deploying the "clientFoo" db. Can they be combined / cascaded?
Extra objects doesn't seem to be an issue, extending or overriding objects in _Core doesn't seem to have an obvious solution (other than don't do it).
If the _Core Sales table had the following columns
And Foo an additional column
Is there anyway to do this with SSDT ?
I have the same issue as Ravikumar and Markus. I would also like to combine pre and post deployment scripts of multiple dacpacs in the same database. Hope anyone has a solution for this issue.
By the way, I have dropped a feature request on Microsoft Connect. You can find it on http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio-2015/suggestions/11135271-include-pre-and-post-deploymentscripts-of-referen. Please vote!
Do you know how to get rid of SQLCMD variables within SSDT, once they are added?

In 1977, Kenyan Activist Wangari Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement. The nonprofit's mission: to halt deforestation, soil erosion, and desertification by planting trees. Ms. Maathai, who holds degrees in biological sciences and anatomy and is a former member of Kenya's parliament, became the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004.
To date, the Green Belt Movement has planted more than 30 million trees. Maathai has also campaigned for the Congo Forest Basin Fund, a multicountry effort to preserve Africa's largest tropical rain forest, to which the British government has pledged £50 million ($99 million). Last year, the UN's Billion Tree Campaign, which Maathai headed, attracted 1 billion pledges to plant trees worldwide. And now, after interethnic violence around the 2007 elections in Kenya, Maathai is working to foster peace and reconciliation between Kenya's ethnic groups.
Maathai has also attracted controversy: In 2004, a journalist quoted her as saying that HIV/AIDS was designed by "evil-minded scientists" to control black people. Maathai says she was quoted out of context and disavows such views.
A Monitor reporter caught up with her in New York City. The following is an edited transcript of the interview.
What are you working on now?
Wangari Maathai: I'm a bit preoccupied with the postelection crisis in Kenya. The main challenge ahead is the resettlement of some half a million people who were displaced from their farms. There is an urgent need to have them resettled so that they can do their farming. They are already late for this year's planting, so I anticipate that we are going to have a very serious food shortage in Kenya.
I established an initiative we call Peace Tent. It's an effort to promote peace among the communities that were fighting each other in Kenya. There was a lot of destruction, the land was abandoned, and people were cutting trees on other people's farms. There was almost a "grab-mania" – people going into the farms that were abandoned and trying to loot whatever they could find, including trees. So there is need for people to go back so that they can also protect their land.
How can rich countries help poor ones adapt to climate change?
Rich countries, especially those that have contributed a lot toward the greenhouse gases, have a responsibility to help the poor countries get the technology that is needed. Toyota has its hybrid cars. You can't see these hybrid cars in Africa. And so Africa still uses a lot of the [older] vehicles, which are very inefficient. The rich countries have a responsibility, [but] the real responsibility lies on those developing countries. People cannot sit back and say, "We are not producing the gases, therefore we will let [others come help us]." Because when climate change comes, it's not going to punish those who did it selectively. Everybody will suffer.
What can Africans do on climate change?
Even though we are not contributing a lot [of greenhouse gases], that should not be an excuse for us to continue producing [them]. If we say that because not too many people have cars, it's OK for a government minister to have three cars, that is not really contributing toward a culture where we reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Or that because we don't have too many cars, we don't need to cultivate a culture of using public means. One thing that we can do as a positive step is to plant trees.
What do conflicts like the one in Darfur indicate about the possible consequences of climate change in Africa?
One of the sad things about Kenya is that even as we are fighting over small pieces of arable land, we appear to be very unconcerned about the land we are losing to the desert. I'm quite sure that today, Kenya – if we spent a lot more time rehabilitating land that we are losing through deforestation, devegetation, overgrazing, and logging – if we were stopping all those destructive activities and instead investing in rehabilitating and reclaiming land that we are losing to the desert, we would not be in the crisis we are in. If we don't manage the resources we have, sustainably, the little that is left we will fight over.
When you address the G-8 countries – the major economic and military powers of the world – what do you tell them?
Debt continues to be a big burden. One thing that is always thrown at us is that "These are agreements that were made by your government." And we say, "These are governments that everybody knew were corrupt dictatorships, were not responsible to their people, did not listen to their people – you knew that and you did business with them." If you were doing business with a bank, and you knew the bank was irresponsible, its managers were corrupt, its managers were not reliable, you wouldn't do business with them. So why do you do business with governments that are corrupt, that are irresponsible, that are not accountable, and have no respect for their people and then come to the people and say, "You have to repay me the money I lent"?

White Sand, Red Dirt & Kangaroos - 2013 Australian SafariPosted in Events on August 8, 2013
"Media three, Safari Base…."
"Go ahead Media three."
"We are at kilometer one of SS 14, vehicle has rolled, is in middle of track, over."
"Safari Base to Tango one eight, close start immediately, vehicle roll at kilometer one."
The Thai team in car 109, a white and red Isuzu, had barreled down on a sweeping right turn, put the car into a brake-induced slide, and disappeared into a cloud of crimson-red dust. I glanced at Hansey, my German counterpart for the week and editor of Marathon Rally. It seemed like seconds before we heard the unmistakable thud of a car body plowing into the dirt, followed by the sound of shattering glass. Hansey headed for the dust cloud as I hightailed it up the track to caution the next car (camera in hand and firing off a few frames over my shoulder).
It was day four of the Australasian Safari. We were somewhere north of Kalberri and east of Gascoyne Junction—in other words, in the Western Australian Outback. We'd spent the previous four days moving north from Perth, traversing white-sand two-tracks along the Indian Ocean and occasionally doglegging east to the fringes of the country's great red center. I'd come to the Land Down Under to report on one of the planet's premier off-road rallies, a seven-day, 3,500 kilometer test of endurance for bloke, or sheila, and machine. Enter the Australasian Safari, aka, the "Dakar Down Under."
With a landmass the size of the United States, travel times in the Australian Outback are usually measured in days rather than hours.
Though not as well-known as the famed Paris-Dakar, the Safari, which shares a number of parallels with its African-rooted cousin, is often referred to as the Dakar Down Under. The rally format lies largely within European guidelines—a multi-day competition, dedicated support stations and fuel depots, maximum allowable times for special sections, and a common bivouac each night. Where the Safari deviates slightly is in the distance between points. With a landmass the size of the United States, travel times in the Australian Outback are usually measured in days rather than hours. It is the flattest, driest, and least populated of the inhabited continents; the perfect locale for a venue of this caliber. It also doubles as a proving ground for teams preparing to take on Dakar. For more information about the Australasian Safari, go to www.australasiansafari.com.au.
Flash forward 48 hours: Hansey instructs me to zero the trip meter as we pull out of the town of Geraldton. Our charter is to locate a race checkpoint 100 kilometers into the bush, intersect the track…and wait. I look down the competitor list. There are teams from China, Thailand, Venezuela, South Africa, and Europe, and lest I forget, a majority rule of true blue Aussies. There are two Yankees in the Moto division, but none in the auto class. I wonder why?
In the distance, I hear the unmistakable thuwmp, thuwmp, thuwmp of a helicopter rotor, then a four-stroke motorcycle. A dust cloud appears on the horizon and then the chopper. It's just few meters off the deck—a thick canopy of scrub brush interspersed with coral-white sand. I've brought my climbing harness to shoot from the heli's skid and am hoping I might get some air time. The motorcycles arrive first, followed by quads. Then we wait, as there is a thirty-minute start-time gap between the bikes and cars.
Another dust cloud appears, led by the high-pitched whine of a V-8 mill spinning at 7,000 rpm. It's a Holden (Chevy) Colorado driven by Australian John Hederics. He blows by at full speed, never lifting from the accelerator for the two-foot-high jump in front of me. Hederics' landing is coordinated and smooth. He digs left and heads south down the beach, chopper in tow. Adrenaline is instantly pumping through my veins as a wake of sand peppers my face and camera gear. A minute later, Dakar competitor Bruce Garland is on the scene in his Isuzu D-MAX pickup. Immediately following the Safari, Garland will be loading the D-MAX on a ship bound for Dakar 2013 in South America.
They are only 400 kilometers into a 3,500-kilometer race and the field is spreading out. We wait for the stragglers before packing our gear, jumping in our Toyota Prado, and re-entering our own race—getting to the next shoot location before the competitors arrive. This scene will repeat itself a dozen times over the next seven days near Australia's Wild West towns of Kalbarri, Carnarvon, and Gascoyne Junction.
Low Down on Dakar Down Under
Unlike U.S.-based off-road events such as the Baja 1000 or Vegas to Reno—where teams receive route details in advance, spend days pre-running the course and logging it on GPS—Safari competitors know nothing about the track until the night before each section. And what they receive is a tulip chart roadbook. No waypoints, no map, nada. To top that, GPS units and paper maps are strictly prohibited. Crews can carry a phone, but not a smart phone with GPS, mapping or email applications. This type of format leaves little room for error and draws upon spot-on navigational skills of the co-driver, dead reckoning, and attention to details. If GPS were allowed it would be of limited value, as much of the race travels over an endless array of uncharted cattle station roads, mining lines, and coastal sand tracks.
This year's Safari covered 3,500 kilometers (about 2,200 miles for us Yankees) over a period of seven days. It operates with Dakar precision and style. Each night, a small city is erected in a new location, replete with fully-catered meals and dining tent, a street grid for support team camps, and media and command centers.
For the first time, Dakar organizer ASO partnered with premier rallies from around the world to create the Dakar Challenge—a race within a race. Safari teams that signed up for the Challenge (they run the same route), could land a paid registration for the upcoming Dakar (several thousand Euro).
While the race is in progress, communication is provided by two airborne "Eagles," Cessna 182 Skylanes carrying VHF radio repeaters (no, cell phones don't work in the Outback). There is also a media chopper, as well as one dedicated to medical evacuation if needed.
Lost in the Outback
On the morning of the final day we grab the media notes to access our shooting location for the morning, but we find a "shortcut" around some sheep stations (translation: ranch). Hansey is the navigator. It can be damn tough. The Australia Outback is vast and unforgiving. Some tracks are rarely traveled, and a wrong turn, accident, or mechanical issue can cost you a lot.
We heard from a jackaroo (ranch hand) who said a jillaroo (female ranch hand) drove away from a station in a tizzy after tossing back a few too many stubbies (beers). The sheila took a wrong turn and ran out of fuel. Fourteen years later someone stumbled upon her desiccated remains, still sitting behind the wheel of her car. We dodge through a maze of turns, over cattle gates, and paddocks (fields), a trail of red Australian dust in our wake. I zero the trip meter at each turn. Fifty kilometers south, then 35 west, 10 east and another 42 southwest. The road veers west and we see the bitumen road (asphalt). Hansey navigated well. We would survive.
We'd dashed from the coastal Mecca of Perth, along the coral reefs and white sand beaches of the Indian Ocean, and into the continent's vast red interior. It had been a wild 3,000-kilometer ride (Yankee translation, about 1,900 miles)… and we weren't even in the race.
When the dust settled on the final day in Geraldton, it was Hederics and navigator Kees Weel at the top of the podium. Underdog Rob Herridge in his surprisingly impressive Subaru Forester claimed Second, and Aussie Wayne Park with the bronze. One of the Thai teams ended up on their lid, Garland received a DNF, and South African moto rider Brett Cummings landed a free ticket to the 2013 Dakar. American moto rider Jason Adams, who was participating in his first international contest, landed in the bottom five, but received the Spirit Award after enduring (and repairing) breakdowns almost every day.
As for the event being coined the Dakar Down Under, how can I disagree? It's like an entire season of racing packed into one insane week—a true test of man, woman and machine. In my mind, the Australasian Safari will be earmarked as one of the great endurance races on the planet.

Fab Fabrics: Bike Inner Tubes
When you think of eco-friendly fabric you probably imagine more conventional textiles like hemp or organic cotton. Lately, though, I've run across a ton of great projects that treat reclaimed bike tires as a textile.
Most bike shops just toss blown out tubes once they've finished the repair, so there's a good chance you can score some inner tubes for free if you hit up your local bike shop and ask them to save some for you.
Free and totally recycled? Sounds fab to me!
Next >> How to reclaim a bike tire
One Response to Fab Fabrics: Bike Inner Tubes
These are great ideas. This use is less crafty, but inner tube pieces make a great emergency fire starter for wet conditions.

Two From Glasgow In Plane Crash
Five Missing Include Sheree Chalmers Smith, Daniel Smith
Search and rescue workers have been looking through rugged Idaho terrain for a lost plane just outside of Cascade, Idaho. The plane was carrying two residents of Glasgow and three members of their family.
Sheree Chalmers Smith, of Glasgow, and her husband Daniel Smith took off from Baker City, Ore., in the airplane piloted by Daniel Smith's father, Dale Smith. Dale's daughter, Amber Smith, and her fiancee, Jonathon Norton, were also on board the airplane.
The single-engine BE-36 Beech Bonanza, a smaller aircraft, reported an engine failure near Johnson Creek Airstrip around 3:30 p.m in Valley County, Idaho. The airstrip is about 50 miles northeast of Cascade. The Valley County Sheriff has been working with the Idaho Transportation Department, Idaho Army National Guard, the Forest Service, Idaho Fish and Game, Idaho Bureau of Homeland Security and with other volunteers and members of the family.
The search was was suspended Monday night due to bad weather and the failing daylight. A Lakota helicopter with the Idaho Army National Guard left Gowen Field in Boise had to turn back to base that evening. They were able to track an emergency locator transmitter (ELT). The signal is weak, but it was able to narrow the radius of the search from 800 miles to 60 miles.
The weather was favorable on Tuesday, which helped ground personnel be assisted by a small aircraft from the Civil Air Patrol and two helicopters from the Idaho National Guard. Search efforts have been complicated due to the terrain and communication challenges. Search and rescue efforts were suspended again on Tuesday evening due to lack of daylight for those scouring the area.
Around 40 search and rescue personnel were expected to continue their efforts Wednesday. Three more fixed wing aircraft, from the Civil Air Patrol, will join in.
The mother of Sheree Chalmers-Smith, Jenny Chalmers of Glasgow, said she is hopeful that they will find the missing plane.
"We are so thankful for the support and prayers from the community," she said.

Gale has released four new digital collections for use by academic and special libraries.
"News Features and Internal Communications" and "U.S. City Bureaus Collection" are both part of the "Associated Press Collection Online," which will add a third collection, the "Washington D.C. Bureau Collection," in the Spring.
"News Features and Internal Communications" includes personal communications of Associated Press (AP) staff, internal publications and historical information about how the AP was started.
The "U.S. City Bureaus Collection" provides archival material from 1931-2004, such as meeting notes, memos and wire copy clippings.
"Indigenous Peoples: North America" "allows researchers to trace the history of Native Peoples in North America from colonial relations in the 1600s to twentieth-century issues such as civil rights," according to a Gale news release. It covers issues such as customs, education, property, spirituality, wars, laws and legal history from the 1600s to the 1900s.
The company has also added "Science, Technology and Medicine, Part II," the first of four additions to "Nineteenth Century Collections Online" planned for 2014. "The archive includes collections covering natural history, the rise of public health in England and Wales, and the publications of major scientific academies," according to information released by Gale.
The new collections are all available on the company's research platform, Gale Artemis: Primary Sources.
"The launch of these new products and our continued investment in innovative research platforms like Gale Artemis demonstrates Gale's dedication to our library customers," said Jim Draper, vice president and general manager at Gale, in a prepared statement. "We are extremely proud to be the most active publisher of historical collections in the world, and we are grateful to our customers, to our end-users, and to our many content partners for helping to make this happen."

Nick La Rocca claimed to have invented Jazz and often complained that African-American musicians have been given too much credit for the birth of Jazz. He was so obnoxious about this, that many people tend to try and overlook the important contributions he made to the music and the role that the Original Dixieland Jass Band played in popularizing Jazz around the world. Nick started playing with the Papa Laine's Reliance Brass Band in New Orleans. He formed the Original Dixieland Jass Band in New Orleans in 1914. The group referred to itself as America's first Jazz band. They played wacky novelty-based jazz and they were very popular in New York City during World War One. The band featured La Rocca on trumpet; Larry Shields on clarinet; Eddie Edwards on trombone; Tony Sbarbaro on drums and Henry Ragas on the piano. The group had originally come to Chicago under the name of Stein's Dixie Jass Band with Yellow Nuńez on clarinet, but he was replaced with Larry Shields from Tom Brown's Band From Dixieland after a dispute with La Rocca. The band moved to New York in 1917. The band's name changed to the Orignal Dixieland Jass Band and they were an immediate success. They released the world's first Jazz record on February 26, 1917 with "Livery Stable Blues", coupled with "Dixie Jass Band One Step" for the Victor Talking Machine Company. This record besides being the first ever Jazz record was wildly successful selling over one million copies. Before the band left for its successful tour of England, Ragas died and his place was taken by J. Russell Robinson. Edwards didn't want to go to England and he was replaced by Emil Christian. The group broke up in 1925 after La Rocca suffered a complete nervous breakdown and returned to New Orleans. The band re-formed briefly in 1938 and recorded some of their old songs for Victor. La Rocca retired from music after that and became a building contractor in New Orleans.

If you were having trouble with the thought of dropping $25K on Sony's 84-inch XBR-84X900 LED 4K TV, know this: it comes with a video player. That might sound lame at first, but this is actually pretty big news. If you've been reading our 4K Ultra HD coverage, the you know that content (just as it was in the early days of HD) at ultra-high resolutions has been scarce to say the least. In fact, not a single 4K Ultra HD manufacturer has come up with a content-delivery system to pair with its next-gen televisions. That is, until now.
According to a report from Twice, Sony's COO Phil Molyneux confirmed that the company will be including a 4K Ultra HD video player with The Amazing Spiderman and Total Recall (2012) among a total of 10 pre-loaded feature films and a handful of 4K video clips. The player – a hard-disk server – will be the first 4K Ultra HD content production engine for the home. Granted, you can't yet drive over to Best Buy to snag some 4K Ultra HD discs (and maybe you never will), but this is a significant step forward for what many see as the future of television.
That Sony would be behind the groundbreaking player is no surprise; the company has been heavily invested in 4K Ultra HD since its conception. And this announcement is important for Sony, which is in direct competition with LG and its 84LM9600 – an 84-inch 4K Ultra HD TV priced at $20,000 (reviewed here). That it is delivering 4K content along with its TV might make its additional $5,000 price of admission a little more palatable.

MEN ABOUT TOWN: With the Oscars on Sunday, the Milan shows are proving to be light on major celebrities of the A-list Hollywood variety. So instead of Emily Blunt, for example, the paparazzi had James Blunt, the pretty-boy British singer, headlining the front row at Emporio Armani on Sunday.
Is he looking to trade in his regular jeans and T-shirt look for a sleeker, more luxurious Armani wardrobe? Blunt said he thought he'd better "come and see what it's about," but he added that, no, Armani is not suiting him up for his upcoming world tour. "I'm too short for that," noted Blunt, who is promoting his latest album, "All the Lost Souls." As an homage to his guest, Armani played Blunt's "1973" as his show's opening track.
On Monday at the Giorgio Armani show, a soccer star named Kaka was taking in the limelight. But don't hold your breath waiting to see the Brazil and AC Milan player in his briefs à la David Beckham for Emporio Armani anytime soon. Kaka, a devout Catholic, prefers to show his, ahem, ball control on the pitch. "Leave it to him," Kaka said. Beckham is fronting Emporio Armani's underwear campaign, which was launched last month.
MODEL LIFE: Model-turned-actress Vanessa Hessler confessed she was slightly "intimidated" working with such actors as Alain Delon and Gérard Depardieu on her latest flick based on the Astérix comic series. "But we all became friends in the end," said the still-wide-eyed 20-year-old, who is working on a film for Italian television. "This is my first and last experience for TV, though. I prefer working for the movies," offered Hessler, prior to the D&G show on Monday.
However, Hessler said it was hard to be accepted in the movie world. "Everyone sees you as merely another pretty face, and I work really hard every day to show I am more than that," she related.
Down the row, English model Daisy Lowe is still in the thick of the runway world. "I just moved to New York because I want to do this modeling malarkey, but I think it means I've more moved into a Virgin Airline Boeing 747," the 19-year-old said. Having modeled for Agent Provocateur and French Connection, Lowe has aspirations to make clothes herself once she tires of modeling and clocking up the air miles. "I love playing with clothes," she said.
In the meantime, Lowe is being trailed by a BBC film crew for a fly-on-the-wall documentary to be aired in May or June.
RESTRICTIONS APPLY: Cathy Horyn is back in the penalty box at Giorgio Armani. The New York Times scribe was informed by a letter from the Italian designer she would not be invited to his signature show on Monday because of what she had written about his couture show last January. Specifically, Armani charged that Horyn "belittled" his family and friends in her description of the preshow scene. At Jil Sander Monday night, Horyn declined all comment, but detailed the banning in her blog, writing, "I don't really buy any of it, though — not the delay and certainly not the old-fashioned practice of restricting journalists [in a digital age] from shows." A year ago, Armani and the fashion critic had a spat over Horyn's description of a trouser style.
IN ANTICIPATION: Dolce & Gabbana expects to host the hottest list of VIPs at its show on Thursday. Monica Bellucci, Naomi Campbell, Sheryl Crow, Fergie, Lindsay Lohan and French actress Fanny Ardant are all slated to attend.
LOVE LETTERS: Moschino turned to Lapo Elkann to get its message across about Love Moschino, formerly the Moschino Jeans line. "Lapo's advertising agency, Independent Ideas, is made up of a group of young, creative minds, more in line, I believe, with our final consumer, than more established agencies," said Moschino creative director Rossella Jardini.
Elkann said he appreciates Moschino's irony and set about working on a message centered on love. To wit: He set up a lovemoschino.com site, and created a 2008 Love Calendar, with unique messages each month, plus a new advertising campaign. A new Web magazine, "Love News," will display "only good news from around the world," said Elkann.
On Wednesday, Moschino will throw a party with New Orleans brass band The Dirty Dozen and other performances.

NESACS Celebrates IYCActivity by Morton Hoffman | added on Jan 11, 2011 | United States
Sponsor(s): Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society
During 2011, the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society (NESACS) will sponsor meetings, lectures, seminars, science cafés, and outreach activities to young people and the general public in order to celebrate IYC within Eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
NESACS is one of the 190 local sections of the American Chemical Society (ACS). With more than 7,000 members, it encompasses Eastern Massachusetts and all of New Hampshire; it is contiguous with the Rhode Island, Central Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont local sections. During 2011, NESACS will celebrate IYC with monthly meetings, lectures, seminars, science cafés, workshops for high school teachers, and outreach activities for young people and the general public. It is anticipated that many thousands of individuals will be impacted directly and indirectly by the message of the importance of chemistry to their lives.
The product of these actions has quality, which is proportional to the amount of energy we provide.
I practice my profession as a chemical engineer with much love.
Want to submit your own activity or comment?
In order to do so you need to be part of the IYC network. Please log in or sign up now.

No one thought that the chubby asthmatic toddler back in Cuba would ever turn into an athlete. Luckily, Danell Leyva developed into one sexy gymnast.
At 20 years old the Cuban-American is competing in the London Olympic Games for the US and specializes in the parallel bars and horizontal bar events.
Leyva may not believe that he has the perfect gymnast's body — his arms are longer than the ideal length for maximum strength on the bars — but we think his body is more than fine. In fact, we'd watch this gymnast flex those muscles and compete any day.
If you're like us and want to see more of Leyva, you're in luck. The US men's gymnastics team will be competing for gold on Monday. Tune in to the Olympic coverage for more of this hunk and his hunky teammates.

Jim, you have unintentionally given me the best laugh of the year and last year, and the year before that... ;-)Rob C
Thailand? Good grief, Ray! I lived in India for around seven years - there's nothing mystical about the East, just fr¡ggin' poverty, ignorance on a massive scale, amazing wealth, corruption and disease.
Don't paint the whole of the East with one brush, Rob. I haven't lived in India for any significant period of time, but I did spend a few months there many years ago. Thailand is in a completely different category. They have some of the best hospitals in the region, and sometimes Australian politicians get into trouble using their expense accounts to fly over there to get their teeth fixed.If you want to get back to making glamour and nude photos, just for the experience of course, as an amateur, then Thailand is the place where you could do it quite affordably.
I feel wary of turning this too personal, but perhaps it has general interest to lots of folk anyway. Rob, you cannot assume that your presence would be a burden on your children, unless of course you know better!My father who is now 72 and in failing health is not a particularly great man. He has spent his life as a taker, and rarely a giver, and so it is not really much fun seeing him. On the other hand my Mother in Law who is a sprightly 80 is great to be around. She is always inviting us over for lunch or getting involved in her large family. Yes, she can be slightly irritating at times (especially the selective deafness), but actually everyone loves her and while putting ourselves out for her can be a headache, actually none of us resents it. I can see it must be awful to loose a long-term partner and face life alone - we have quite a few male friends who are in exactly that position, and I feel sure in some ways they find it harder than women in the same position. Women often have good networks of friends already, but men often seem to just have their wives, and when they are gone the men are lost. I cannot imagine anything more lonely then living in a 'foreign' country on my own.Hey, the sun has come out this morning, though Easter weekend is going to be cold.Don't be too harsh on Ray's idea about Thailand. Though personally I would feel I was being exploitive, and would rather shoot for the girls than myself. My enjoyment would come from making pictures they enjoy. Jim
I also think that I havent really thought well enough and deeply enough about the thing. I realise that my likes are shifting away from what I used to do as featured in the web site; I keep thinking of a shot Cooter posted a couple of times of a ballet school in Moscow (I think thats the location) and those moods and ambiences I find very attractive much more so than beaches of which Ive had more than my share. Id really enjoy shooting in a ballet school, drama college; muscians rehearsing, that sort of thing. Maybe Im just getting older than I thought! But its restful.;-)Rob C
you see, it's easy for me to recognize hours-we could count them if we wantedSasha just got back from the desert and says the sad thing about ocatillo bushes are the border jumper's chamis...She's searching for phenolic compounds in Californian Native flora- Alexandra Pendragon's Magical Elixir- containing wonders of the botanical primogeniture, secrets of the mystics and staff of life to those most fierce and hardyIf the cops raid my house they would arrest everyone first and ask questions later- It is littered with interesting paraphernalia of compound extraction.Like Madam Curie she'll probably kick from absorbing too much yapple...
Although it is pretty rare nowadays I don't achieve exactly the result I want when I decide to take a picture, there are some pictures I like looking at much more than others among mines and obviously among those of other photographers.This is both very bad and very good:- on the plus side, it means that I have clearly identified my challenge (vision and concept) and that this challenge is probably without limits but that of the time I'll be given to think about what images I want to create,- on the minus side, it means that I actually don't really need to take pictures anymore. I'd rather stop wasting time pressing the shutter... and spend more time thinking. The obvious consequence being that I don't need more megapixels, lenses,...Now I am saying that this is a bad news because I probably find photography relaxing precisely because I don't need to think much to achieve what I come up with today... So it looks like I have a problem also Rob... Cheers,Bernard
Photography, of itself, is not enough; it cannot and will not sustain your spiritual life.

Exercise 1.12 asks us to write a procedure that computes the elements of Pascal's triangle by means of a recursive process.
The numbers along the left and right edges of the triangle are all 1, and each number inside the triangle is the sum of the two numbers directly above it.
We'll design our procedure to take the row and column numbers as arguments, and return the value of the element in that position.
(pascal row col)
We start counting both rows and columns at 0, as pictured in the diagram. So the procedure call
should return a value of 6, since that is the value in the 4th row and 2nd column.
(pascal 4 2)
The first thing we should note is that the nth row of the triangle contains exactly n columns. This means that we shouldn't expect to call our procedure with a column argument greater than the row argument. So, the following call would be expected to return nonsense information:
(pascal 3 4)
We should also note that the 0th and nth column of any row should return 1. This is enough to get us started.
(define (pascal row col)
(cond ((< row col) #f)
((or (= 0 col) (= row col)) 1)
(else #t)))
Here we're just defining the initial logic of the procedure. If the row argument is less than the column, we simply return #f (probably not the best error message I've ever written, but it's not the focus of the exercise). If the column is the 0th or nth column, we return 1, otherwise we return a value of #t. This last value is just a placeholder which we'll need to replace with a calculation of the correct Pascal number.
To finish up the procedure, we need to recursively calculate values from the interior of the triangle. An interior value is defined as the sum of the two values directly above in the triangle. So, for example, to calculate Pascal(4, 2) we would sum Pascal(3, 1) and Pascal(3, 2). Each of these values (since there are both interior values) would be calculated in the same manner, but the recursive property of our procedure will take care of that for us.
The two values to sum in order to calculate Pascal(row, column) are always going to be the value in the previous row and same column, Pascal(row-1, column), and the value in the previous row and previous column, Pascal(row-1, column-1). Translating this information to Scheme and adding it to our earlier procedure, we get our final answer to the exercise:
(define (pascal row col)
(cond ((< row col) #f)
((or (= 0 col) (= row col)) 1)
(else (+ (pascal (- row 1) col)
(pascal (- row 1) (- col 1))))))
Try several examples from Pascal's triangle illustration to verify that the results are correct. Note that since this procedure defines a recursive process, calculating larger values can be extremely time consuming. It takes a noticeable amount of time (a few seconds) on my machine to calculate values in the 25th row.
For more fun with Pascal's triangle see Pascal's Triangle and its Patterns.

Armoire Hinge LH 6 1/2"
Our solid brass cast French fiche hinges are the same as those used for last 300 years on French armoires. Unlike modern non-authentic simulations that consist a piece of brass tube, a couple of screw eyes and some decorative tips these hinges are heavy castings completely hand fettled with characteristic faceting and knurling. The leaves are over 1/8" thick and should be installed correctly according to the instructions available in our informational section. For restoration and truly excellent reproduction work nothing compares. We offer keyhole escutcheons and locks of the same standard from the same source.
Overall Length: 6 1/2", Leaf: 1" x 7/8"

From K Street to Pennsylvania Avenue, relationships between the power elite of Washington, D.C. are largely defined by a pervasive underground sex culture, says one reporter.
In a new Bloggingheads interview, GQ contributing editor Marc Ambinder has the inside scoop: "There is an enormous amount of — we could call it cohabitation — among the, sort of, I don't know if you want to call them 10 to 15,000 people who make up the power elite in D.C., but that is to say, they're sleeping with each other."
According to Ambinder, this "power elite" includes members of Congress, congressional staff, lobbyists, journalists, and yes — Secret Service Agents. To illustrate how commonplace this "cohabitation" is, Ambinder estimates that one-third of all married congressmen who have been on the Hill for over six years have had an affair.
While Ambinder couldn't pinpoint the exact reason behind the frequency of the coupling, he did propose one explanation: "You have these enormously powerful people with extremely hard jobs keeping the same hours and being in close proximity to one another and having really nothing else to do but each other at various points."

About the Museum
Guided by a mission to collect, preserve, research, and interpret the history and culture of the Pikes Peak Region, the Museum features permanent exhibits on the history of the area and changing exhibits on topics of broad interest. The Museum's active changing exhibition schedule has featured subjects as diverse as Western art, antique quilts, Plains and Pueblo Indian culture, and space exploration. Popular culture exhibits have included such topics as juke boxes, motorcycles, and baseball memorabilia. A major attraction are the murals, by local artist Eric Bransby, which depict the story of the Pikes Peak Region from early human occupancy to the building of the Air Force Academy.
The Museum has over 60,000 objects in its collection including nationally significant collections of quilts, Van Briggle art pottery, plus the finest regional art collection in the state of Colorado. The Native American collection includes hundreds of items representative of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho cultures. A portion of author Helen Hunt Jackson's house is reconstructed in the Museum, furnished with her original possessions. Other collections relate to the founding of the City, the area's mining and agricultural history, its early prominence as a health resort, and its more recent significance as a center for military training and operations.
Public programs range from scholarly presentations to family festivals. The Museum has been host to a variety of events: lectures on the American cowboy, Hispanic and African-American celebrations, and antique auto shows. Classical music concerts and plays have been featured in the exquisitely restored Division I Courtroom on the Museum's upper floor, and summer jazz has delighted thousands in the surrounding park. A vital community outreach program provides tours, speakers, presentations for schools, and other special programs. With a dedicated corps of volunteers, guided tours are provided to more than 8,000 of the 75,000 people who visit the museum annually.
Fully accredited by the American Association of Museums, and winner of local and national awards for excellence, the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum offers a rewarding and enjoyable experience for people of all ages and interests. A visit provides a look into the spirit, past and present, of the city nestled at the foot of Pikes Peak, America's most famous mountain.

Paris, 8 November, 2012 - Two Swedish students today scooped a new award aimed at alerting the world to the huge benefits of fast action on crop, health and climate-damaging substances, known as Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs).
Frans Wiberg and Staffon Druid, ages 17 and 18, took first place for their production entitled, A Short Video About SLCPs, at a meeting of the Coalition in Paris, France.
Other winners included Nonyelum Umeasiegbu from Nigeria who took second slot for a new slogan on SLCPs and Linnea Fahlstrom and Hilda Broqvist, also from Sweden, for their video entry which took third place.
Answering the call for young video producers and budding social media experts between the ages of 12 and 25, Wiberg and Druid teamed up lending their creative vision to raise awareness of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) as part of a school project in their home town of Linköping, Sweden.
"Our School principal learnt of the contest and alerted our teachers to the opportunity," said Wiberg. "We were studying sustainable development in our Social Studies class and our teacher made an assignment of the project."
The students submitted a video under the category for Best Audio-Visual Product addressing the impact of SLCPs, which are responsible for a substantial portion of current global and regional warming trends effecting health, agriculture and ecosystems.
"Our video gets the message through easily, without being too technical or simplistic in tackling the issue," Druid commented. "If we don't work towards protecting the earth, the future seems very dark for the planet."
Fast action to reduce these pollutants - especially methane and black carbon - has the potential to slow down the warming expected by 2050 by as much as 0.5°C, as well as prevent over two million premature deaths each year and avoid annual crop losses of over 30 million tons.
Both young men plan to pursue careers related to the environment.
Frans plans on studying Green Economics and Staffan would like to pursue a career in either hydrology or geology.
While they have yet to receive a grade on the project, the CCAC has awarded them top marks and looks forward to following their future successes.
The duo were last night given each a signed photograph by award winning film maker Jan Arthaus Betrand who is also a goodwill ambassador to the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
The presentation, conducted by UNEP Spokesperson, Nick Nuttall, happened during a meeting of the Coalition in Paris to which the Swedish students were invited.
About The Climate and Clean Air Coalition
The Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (CCAC), is a voluntary partnership of governments, intergovernmental organizations, private sector representatives, environmental actors and other members of civil society. Established in February, 2012, CCAC's primary focus is to catalyze action for the reduction of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) in the atmosphere such as black carbon, methane and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
SCLPs responsible for a substantial portion of current global warming with particularly large impacts in urban areas and sensitive regions of the world like the Arctic, and have harmful health and environmental impacts. Reducing SLCPs can have immediate, multiple benefits, protect human health and the environment immediately and slow the rate of climate change within the first half of this century.

Once a week for the next few weeks we're going to review 2 racing games head-to-head and app-vs-app. Based on our review scores, we're going to pick the winner... and one of you, our readers, is going to win that app! (Technically: an iTunes App Store gift certificate in the amount of the winning race game app).
But wait! There's more! Every GRAND PRIX needs a Grand Champion, and every contest needs a Grand Prize. So, when all the reviews are done, the TiPb staff is going to pick our Grand Champion race game app -- and one of our readers will win that game AND an iPhone Blog Store gift certificate in the amount of $50!
How can you win? Leave a comment on any GRAND PRIX review. We'll randomly pick a comment and announce the winner the next week on the following Grand Prix review. (First winner announced on second review, second winner on third review, etc.) For the Grand Prize, we're going to randomly pick one comment from any of the preceding GRAND PRIX reviews, so make sure you hit them all!
Contest details after the jump...
Them Details:
- Open to everybody who has an iTunes store in their country
- Only one comment/entry per "Grand Prix" review counts (but feel free to post as much as ya like!)
- Eligible comments/entries MUST include a valid email address. If we can't contact you, we can't send you your prize!
- Contest will run once a week until all three (3) App vs. App GRAND PRIX reviews are complete, and the final Grand Champion is selected.
- We'll announce the previous week's Grand Prix app winner with the next week's Grand Prix review posting.
- You can win no more than twice.

I love having gel polish to do my own nails. As much as I love painting nails it is so great to not have to worry for 2-3 weeks about them. Another great thing about gel polish is that you can scrub glitter into the inhibition layer to get this
So pretty! I can't stop looking at my nails :D I have got lots of compliments too while out and about which is always nice.
I didn't realise until the day there was a purple nail noh8 campaign on nail blogs so I'm glad I accidentally joined in.

US Teen Pregnancy Rate Drops to Historic Low
A new study from the CDC shows teen births in the US have hit an all-time low, dropping to just over 34 births per 1,000 women who are between 15 and 19 years old — a decrease of nine percent in the last two years alone.
The current numbers are 64 percent lower than the all-time high seen in 1957, and they mark the fewest teen births nationwide since record-keeping began in 1946. And since the United States spends almost $11 billion annually on health costs associated with teen childbearing, the public health impact of the decline is significant.
So why have the numbers dropped so much?
Researchers credit the use of contraceptives, and Dr. Lawrence Friedman, director of adolescent medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, said, "There is [also] more awareness of the negative effects of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases."
Possibly proving his point is the fact that Mississippi, which has 55 births per 1,000 young women — the highest in the country — doesn't require sex education in schools, but when classes are taught, abstinence-only education is the state standard.
New Hampshire, on the other hand, has the lowest teen birth rate in the US with about 16 per 1,000 girls, and requires comprehensive sex-ed in schools. Classes there do include abstinence education, but also information about condoms and contraception.
