A good way to get back to sleep is to get a good quality mattress. The first question you should ask yourself is what kind of mattress is the bed size? What is the difference between a Queen and a twin bed? A good way to get your mattress back is to use a foam pad. This is a good way to get your body to rest and feel comfortable. The most important thing to remember when buying a pillow is to get the right support. The first thing you need to do is to get a pillow topper. You can purchase pillows that are made from the same kind of material. Pillows are available in various shapes and sizes. A great way to sleep on your mattress is to get a bed that is soft and comfortable. You can use a foam mattress to protect your spine. This is a good way to get your mattress back to the rest of your body. The memory foam bed mattress is a great way to get your body shape. It is a great way to get your body to feel better and relaxed. The crucial step is to use your hands to keep your spine upright. This is a great way to get your body to feel good and relaxed. In addition, the most important thing to remember when you are seated is to sit comfortably in your back chair. The memory foam mattresses are designed to provide a full-body sleeping support. The foam is a natural material that is designed to conform to the physique. Also, mattresses are made from the same materials that are used in the body. The mattress is made of foam and absorbs the bodys thickness and shape. It is the most popular and most commonly utilized material in the body. The mattress is a soft material that is made of latex.
f you find you are not sleeping well it may be due to an old and uncomfortable bed. How much time we spend in bed can affect its durability. If the mattress is lumpy and the springs are too bouncy it might be time to go shopping. We also change as we age. A person who has once slept best on a soft mattress may be more suited to a harder mattress later in life, or, vice versa. Weight gain and weight loss can all effect how we react to our mattresses. A mattress might be perfect for one person but if two people start using it there could be difficulties. Studies have shown that beds can lose up to 70% of their original hardiness over 10 years. How Do I Select a Mattress?

Container Gardening: How to Plant Vegetables in Pots
If gardening space is limited at home, you can still grow vegetables — just plant your vegetable seeds or seedlings in containers and place the pots on your deck or patio. With containers, you can plant seedlings or seeds a little closer together because you're concentrating water and nutrients in a small space; therefore, the seedlings and seeds, not the general soil, get more of what they need to grow.
1Fill your container with soil mix so that the soil reaches almost to the top of the container, and then wet the soil thoroughly.
Wetting the soil will probably take several passes with a hose. After the soil drains, it will have settled several inches.
2After the water settles, add more soil until the soil level is within 2 to 3 inches of the rim.
Level the top of the soil with your hands.
3If you're planting seedlings, make a small hole in the soil for each transplant. Place one seedling in each hole.
The top of the root ball (the soil held together by the roots) should be level with or slightly below the surrounding soil. Use your finger to gently press down the soil around each seedling.
4If you're sowing seeds, plant them at the appropriate depth according to the information on the package.
Make sure to keep the soil moist until the seedlings are established or until the seeds germinate. Use a fine water-mister to wet the soil and to avoid drowning the seeds.

Politics & Government
Health care stressed at Obama's 'fiscal responsibility summit'
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will convene a White House meeting next week to address runaway health-care costs. On Monday he called it key to reining in federal spending as he tries to balance plans to spend the country out of recession with shoring up its long-term fiscal health.
Obama announced his plans for the health-care meeting as he met at the White House with lawmakers, economists and union officials to discuss his promise to cut the federal budget deficit in half by the end of his first term and simultaneously start addressing longer-term problems. The event was billed as a "fiscal responsibility summit."
"We've got a lot of hard choices to make," the president said, urging a broad group to keep meeting in the weeks ahead to forge agreements on such intractable budget problems as health-care spending and shoring up Social Security. His health-care summit will be sometime in the middle of next week.
One top budget analyst told the group that health-care spending is the number one culprit.
"The single biggest factor is rising health-care costs, not just in Medicare and Medicaid, but throughout our health-care system," said Robert Greenstein, the executive director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research center.
He said that health-care costs had risen faster than the economy for 30 years. Bringing health-care cost increases in line with the rest of the economy, he said, would fix the vast majority of the government's long-term fiscal problems. He didn't say how those costs could or would be controlled or how deep political divisions could be bridged to do it.
Obama made a point of inviting some of his rivals and harshest critics, using the White House to set up a framework for negotiations outside Congress.
Meeting with the group of about 130 after they'd spent the afternoon discussing federal spending, the president called first on Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., his Republican opponent for the presidency in last November's election.
McCain called his session on Pentagon spending "very fruitful," singling out talk about cost overruns in the Defense Department and noting that a planned new helicopter for the president would cost more than the jet used as Air Force One.
Obama said he'd talked to Defense Secretary Robert Gates about the costs of the proposed helicopter and appeared to suggest that he might shelve the project. "The helicopter I have now seems perfectly adequate to me," the president said. "Of course, I've never had a helicopter before," he added to laughs.
Another Republican thanked Obama for convening the session but cautioned that the good first step would be a" sterile step" if Republicans are excluded from negotiations by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
The president called it "an important point" but said that both Democrats and Republicans had to give. "On one hand, the majority has to be inclusive," he said. "On the other hand, the minority has to be constructive."
Pelosi, who arrived late for the opening session, didn't stay for the summit and wasn't present at the closing session when the comments about her were made.
As she left, she appeared to brush off suggestions by some advocates for a bipartisan commission to examine the long-term health of Social Security, saying that she'd leave that to her committee chairmen.
"We believe that elected officials of the land, the Congress of the United States, should review this in a bipartisan way in our committees," she said. "If people want commissions they can have commissions, but that doesn't mean we're abdicating our responsibility to keep Social Security solvent, and we are committed to doing that.''
Monday's well-staged "fiscal responsibility" summit came a day before Obama is to speak to a joint session of Congress, and three days before he rolls out his broad budget plans.
He used the meeting to stress that he's more of a fiscal conservative than critics charge. He and other speakers noted that Obama didn't create the record federal budget deficits, that his $787 billion stimulus package of spending and tax cuts won't add much to that deficit long term because it's only temporary and that he wants to start cutting other spending.
"The Obama administration has inherited the worst fiscal situation in the nation's modern economic history," said Mark Zandi, the well-known chief economist at Moody's Economy.com, who was given a spot on the stage with the president.
While the deep recession has sent deficits soaring, thanks to lower tax revenues and increased costs, Zandi said they were unavoidable in the short term. "These are a problem," he said. "Problems for another day, however."
Greenstein of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities added that "the recent economic recovery package is not driving the problem. That package is temporary, and it increased the size of the long-term fiscal gap by only about one-tenth of 1 percentage point" of the total economy.

— a video poem for Lady Gaga
[inspired by the aesthetic of Nicola Formichetti]
"It is in the theory of perception that we have established our bond. Or, the lie, I should say, for which we kill."
—Lady Gaga, The Manifesto of Little Monsters
In browser windows,
you hoof past airport
security :
In our minds,
gloved hands
probe your ass
as you don shades
& blooded lips :
princess who picks
scabs like sequins
from our eyes glazed
like hams, we marinate
in your whiskey
breath that pervades
FM waves,
MP3 compress
-ion, smoke-ring
-éd vinyl rotation :
You, Y-Generation-
distraction, glitterati-
reflection :
eyelashéd, gauze-
wiggéd, impressionistic-pop-
pianist with Dada gravitas—
You, Gaga, are the hologram
as much as the shadow.
Because your tits
are as sweet as rock
candy, as loaded as guns,
we hold our tongues
to the barrel.
No matter what you feed us,
we will pray for a cock
duct-taped back
behind latex
as we bend
over united.

How many demonstrations that contain the burning of the British flag has it taken to get to this?
Muslim gang barred from gathering in large groups and burning flags after violent outbursts at rallies led by hate preacher Anjem Choudary
Now I'm all for freedom of speech but when does a demonstration turn into inciting racial hatred? I would say it was when you start burning the flag of the country you reside in and start calling for the laws of this land to be changed to those of muslim nations. Then it's time to remove them from this country and let them go and live in a country with the law they wish to live under.
When these people can attack for the fact that somebody isn't a muslim when they are in this country and shout f*** the Queen, they should be jailed not given a slapped wrist!

Creative commerce: Art to the Avenue puts collaboration on display
Art walks, pop-ups, art displays benefit communities, as well as the artists
The tall, red steel sculpture may have been inspired by stormy weather, but for the next several weeks, Danbury artist Denis Folz' "Caught by the Wind" will be situated in a far more placid environment -- the main floor of Richards of Greenwich, just beyond its front doors. Its twin, a tall, blue steel sculpture, will be greeting customers who arrive through the retailer's back doors.
"I knew they would work great in the space," said Kristin Tichy, who is the visual director for the high-end clothing store located on Greenwich Avenue. "They were just so eye-catching."
Tichy, who is responsible for year-round displays, always has a few more objects to work with each spring because of Art to the Avenue, an event that transforms Greenwich's downtown business area into a strolling art gallery. "There are always new artists and it's always different each year," she said.
Every May, area artists' works are placed in storefront windows, hung on walls, situated on sales floors or tucked amid merchandise as part of the event, which is run by the nonprofit Greenwich Arts Council. Through May 26, about 120 artists will be featured in more than 100 sites along Greenwich Avenue and surrounding streets. All artwork will be for sale, which benefits the artists and the council.
"The artists are delighted to have the exposure," said Paul Master-Karnik, the council's executive director. "One of the other goals is to get more foot traffic to downtown Greenwich, and this event attracts people from all over."

Art to the
Avenue takes place along Greenwich Avenue and in surrounding areas through Monday, May 26. Map of artists and locations at
greenwicharts.org, or at the council offices at 299 Greenwich Ave. 203-862-6750.
This longstanding tradition, which was launched 17 years ago, grew out of the desire of the council and area businesses to tap into this intersection of commerce and creativity, as a way to benefit both communities. In the ensuing years, communities across the country have increasingly caught on to that model.
"What's good for the arts is also good for business," said Emily Peck, vice president of private sector initiatives for Americans for the Arts, a nonprofit organization that advances and supports the arts in the U.S., as well as encourages greater public access to and appreciation of the arts.
She said businesses have found that public art displays, art walks, pop-up shops and other events can increase foot traffic and align their businesses with customers who want to support a creative economy. A vibrant arts community also generates jobs, increases tourism dollars and attracts new companies.
"I think an event such as the one in Greenwich is part of that trend of people wanting to engage in their communities and support their local economy," Peck said.
It doesn't get more local and unique than artwork that is created by area artists.
Creating and buying original art is a very personal process, said Adrienne Mierzwa, an artist whose paintings and drawings will be on display at the Little Shop Around the Corner on Church Street. This is her 10th year with Art to the Avenue.
Each of her works, she said, is a distillation of the way she was feeling at the particular moment of creation. "It may sound silly, but to me, these really are like my babies," she said. "I hope they go to a good home."
Laura Cunningham, an artist who owns Little Shop and served as co-chairman of Art to the Avenue for many years, said it is easy to see that the program benefits artists and businesses.
"I love having the paintings in my shop," Cunningham said, adding that they are great accents to the antiques and home decor that fill her shop. As pleased as she is to attract new customers, she said she also enjoys fostering that connection between artists and their community.
Connections have been key in Folz' experience with the event over the past two years. He has attracted new clients, been introduced to other artists and gained a better understanding of the council's work.
"All three of these things have given me a broader, deeper perspective on the type of art I create and how to better market myself," he said, adding that it also brought him to the attention of C. Parker Gallery in Greenwich, which is featuring his works.

Sad and Excited….
A hot summer afternoon about 10 years ago is when I first met a few folks at CDS (Computer Data Source), in a small conference room, the guys wanted to make a difference, do something great to expand the business, they were so passionate about what they did for living. In my mind I was thinking what would it take me to get a job here……. Fast forward a few days and I found myself working there.
Started there as a Network/System/Infrastructure Engineer, managing IT for them. Business was expanding, so we all wore multiple hats to make things happen in the organization. Business was growing in the US and the UK, new individuals were coming in with different backgrounds, we shifted our focus on Storage services, Systems support and ramping up on Sales/Marketing efforts. More innovation started happening around the core support services model.
Fast forward a few years, I found myself in midst of running all Storage Ops for our customers, still managing IT, supporting the pre-sales efforts, the responsibilities were growing and so were the teams. One of the successes we had was not only expanding the business in US but focus largely on North America and EMEA. Building diversity in the organization was very important, as the business expanded we focused on expanding the international ops, more diversity brought better risk management and resiliency in the business.
Then out of the blue, we had some opportunities that came up in the APAC market place, after several international trips and long nights of work, now our Asia Pacific operations were all on the way of expansion. I am glad I was part of our APAC ops from day one to the last day.
About 3 to 4 years ago, I started StorageNerve blog primarily focused on Storage Technologies. As much as it was a knowledge sharing platform for me, I learned so much more from other bloggers and engineering folks that I met through the blogging effort. Attending Tech Field days, Geek Days, Blogger Days, Analyst Days, new product launches and private NDA sessions, the reach and networking with individuals in the industry really started expanding.
Last couple of years, I primarily spent a lot of my time with our top customers, learning about their business issues, needs and working up solutions strategies for them. At the tail end of these amazing 10 years, I was managing internal IT, Innovation, Services R&D, Storage Pre-sales and APAC Ops within the organization. Started as an engineer, moved to become a manager, Director of Storage Ops and eventually the CTO in the organization.
I am very sad to leave and the decision making process was very hard. But this amazing group of people, I guess i can never forget my 10 years here.
Well everything good comes to an end someday……
………. Fast forward to today, i will now be working with some amazing customers, some 96 of them out of the Fortune 100. Some amazing technologies from EMC, NetApp, Brocade, Cisco, VMware, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, HP and many others in customer DC's.
Discussions started a while ago, decision making took a while, but the set of interviews and technology experts I met during this process got me sold on why I should make the change, the learning I will get to see here, cutting edge technology, independent viewpoint and exposure to some great customers.
This new position with Accenture as a Senior Manager, Datacenter Technologies – Storage, would help expand my skills and reach well beyond the Storage market place to some really kool technologies surrounding Storage. This DataCenter practice is part of a much larger IT Strategy Infrastructure and Security group. I am so much looking forward to finishing up the required training and hit the ground running.
Business Strategy, Solutions, Architecture, Evangelist, International business, Organic growth, Operations, Innovation and Technology have always been my strength, I really hope I get a chance to wet my feet here.
As it stands today, I should be able to continue blogging, be independent and keep an unbiased viewpoint about datacenter technologies, though time will say…..

BALTIMORE, MD – The York College Spartan baseball squad banged out 15 hits against 12 different Johns Hopkins pitchers as the Spartans posted a 10-3 upset of the #6 Blue Jays on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon in Baltimore.
The Spartans snap a two-game losing skid as they improve to 21-20 overall. The Blue Jays fall to 33-6 with the loss. The win by York also snaps a two-game losing streak against the Blue Jays.
The Spartans opened the scoring in the second as senior Drew Frankenfield (Blue Bell, Pa./Wissahickon) drove an Ed Bryner delivery out of the park to right center as the Green and White seized the early lead.
York struck for a trio of two out runs in the third, pushing their lead to 4-0. Andrew Hershey (Lancaster, Pa./Penn Manor) started the uprising with a double down the left field line. Senior Dustin Worthman (Tabernacle, N.J./Seneca) plated Hershey with single up the middle. Junior Colbe Herr (Hummelstown, Pa./Lower Dauphin) then blasted his second home run of the year; a line drove that just got over the four-foot high wall down the left field line.
The Blue Jays reached Spartan starter Josh Kohn (Derwood, Md./Col. Zadok Magruder) for an unearned tally in the fourth as a run scored on a wild pitch strikeout. The pitch eluded Herr behind the plate and caromed into the Hopkins dugout allowing Jeff Lynch to score the Blue Jays' first run.
The Blue Jays tightened the game in the seventh as back-to-back doubles trimmed the York lead to 4-2. Lynch then brought the Blue Jays to within one with an RBI single to left center. Reliever Zach Philippi (Levittown, Pa./Harry S. Truman) extricated the Spartans from the jam as he coaxed Mike Delinger into a 4-6-3 double play with the bases loaded to end the inning.
York answered the Blue Jays two runs in the bottom of the seventh with a pair of their own in the top of the eighth. The inning started with a sharp double to left center by senior Justin Cohen (Severn, Md./Old Mill). Frankenfield moved Cohen to third with a single and then Nic Long (North Wildwood, N.J./Wildwood Catholic) ripped an RBI single to left to score Cohen with the Spartans' fifth run of the game. After a sacrifice bunt moved Frankenfield to third and Long to second, Jimmy King (Frederick, Md./Frederick) lofted a long fly ball to center. The ball carried over the head of centerfielder Christopher Casey as Frankenfield scored.
After a quick bottom of the eighth, the Spartans erupted for four runs in the top of the ninth to blow the game open. Frankenfield singled with the bases loaded to plate the first run of the inning. Long then drove home a pair with a shot to right center and King plated the final run of the game with an RBI single to center.
Kohn earned the win as the senior continues to pitch well for York. He improves to 4-1 as he went five innings, allowing one unearned run on four hits with four strikeouts and a pair of walks. Philippi allowed two runs on three hits with a pair of walks in his 1.1 innings of action while Josh Miller (Briarcliff, N.Y./Briarcliff Manor) and Mike Sarecky (Brookeville, Md./Sherwood) combined to toss the final 2.2 innings, allowing just two base runners on a hit batter and a walk.
The Blue Jays sent a school-record 12 pitchers to the mound as they decided to go pitcher by committee with the Centennial Conference Tournament starting on Friday. Hopkins is the top seed in the tournament and will host the four-team tournament in Baltimore.
Bryner took the loss as he allowed Frankenfield's home run in the second. He allowed a run on the hit with one strikeout. Bryner is now 2-1 with the setback.
York had five players bang out multiple hits led by Hershey and Frankenfield as they each had three knocks. Frankenfield added two RBI and a three runs scored while Hershey scored once for York. Long came off the bench and went 2-for-2 with a season-high three RBI. Herr and King both had a pair of hits and two RBI while Herr also scored twice for York.
Casey and Colin McCarthy led the Blue Jays with two hits each while McCarthy also had an RBI. Lynch finished the game 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.
The Spartans play their final road game of the year on Saturday when they travel to Randolph-Macon to face the Yellow Jackets in a non-conference contest. First pitch from Ashland is scheduled for 1:00 pm.

The Coleman Dilemma
The agony and the ecstasy spawned by the current redistricting dustup on the Beaumont City Council is an unfortunate turn of events that didn't have to happen – but it did. At first blush, it appeared the attempt by Ward 1 Councilmember Alan Coleman to remove a key precinct from Ward 2 Councilmember Mike Getz's district was a political jab at Getz, the newest member of council who has expressed some contrarian views on a body that prefers to display external harmony. Before his election to fill the unexpired term of Nancy Beaulieu, Getz had been a leader in the movement to alter the way trustees are elected in the Beaumont Independent School District – and as an attorney had challenged some of the district's more outlandish stunts in court.
Upon closer inspection, however, it becomes apparent that the focus of this move is Coleman, not Getz. Motivated by a politician's keen instinct for survival, Coleman is seeking to use redistricting to make his ward whiter and more affluent by shifting minorities and lower income citizens to adjoining wards. Since joining council in 2007, Coleman has grown increasingly isolated from his core constituents.
Although city government is officially non-partisan, Coleman touts his Republican credentials at every turn – but his actions are at odds with the conservative principles he claims to hold.
Coleman led the move to spend $3,700 on a bronze plaque at the Sewer Lift Station that features his name with those of other officials, and took a prominent role to spend more than $300,000 to install bathrooms at the lightly used Amtrak platform off 11th Street. Coleman's advocacy of making the city noise ordinance even more restrictive displayed open hostility toward small businessmen including Marvin Atwood, whose Starvin' Marvin's restaurant is threatened by this action.
Newcomers to the city who see Coleman at council meetings in his white coat might think he was a physician who came straight from the hospital to tend to the people's business. In fact he is a dentist unlikely to face any emergency more pressing than a root canal. The real pain comes from citizens forced to endure Coleman's relentless self-promotion and his transparent attempts to use his position to reward friends and punish enemies. Fortunately, the checks and balances in the city charter and the watchful eyes of his fellow elected officials have prevented any lasting damage to date.
Coleman's naked ambition and clumsy attempts at political manipulation through the redistricting process appear doomed to failure if the turnout at the public hearing on July 17 is an indication. After a large number of citizens spoke out against his map that targeted Getz, Coleman's response spoke volumes. He didn't say a word.

Brief Synopsis
A political boss faces changing times as he runs for re-election.
Frank Skeffington, the Irish-American mayor of a large New England city, descends his staircase, pausing, as he does every morning, to place a fresh rose by the portrait of his deceased wife. At the bottom of the stairs wait his secretary, the city wardheelers and various aides, and outside the office door is the usual crowd of noisy constituents. Skeffington's staff notes that Amos Force's newspaper opposes the mayor's recently announced bid for a fifth term, even though the two major opposing candidates are unimpressive: Charles J. Hennessey, a longtime but harmless opponent, and Kevin McCluskey, a young naval hero with few ideas of his own. In Force's newsroom, the sour old publisher is planning a series of articles in support of McCluskey, not because he respects the younger candidate but because he despises Skeffington. Adam Caulfield, the writer of the paper's popular sports column and Skeffington's nephew, asks his uncle why Force so dislikes him. Skeffington reveals that his own mother, once a maid in the home of Force's father, was humiliated and then fired by the elder Force for stealing two overripe bananas and a small apple, a "crime" usually accepted by the wealthy Yankees who employed poor Irish immigrants. The Force family had never forgiven their maid's son for becoming mayor of the city. During this conversation, Skeffington asks Adam to cover his re-election campaign "from the inside." Uninterested in politics, but fascinated by his sometimes unethical but always humane uncle, Adam agrees, much to the chagrin of his wife Maeve and her father, Roger Sugrue. Nevertheless, Adam's respect and affection for his uncle, emotions not expressed by Skeffington's playboy son "Junior," increase as he attends rallies and other campaign events. At the wake of Knocko Minihan, Adam is at first outraged when Skeffington fills the widow's house with his supporters, who hand out cigars while conducting ward business. Skeffington's manager, John Gorman, explains that while admittedly trying to promote his campaign, Skeffington has nonetheless succeeded in packing the wake of the universally disliked Minihan with well-wishers, a fact that deeply touches the grieving widow. When Adam later hears Skeffington threaten to take greedy undertaker Johnny Degnan before his licensing board unless he reduces the high cost of the services, Adam becomes his uncle's avid supporter. After the funeral, Skeffington learns that the city's bankers have decided not to provide the loan needed to clean up one of the city's worst slums. Furious, he and his cronies invade the exclusive Plymouth Club, where banker Norman Cass, Sr. is lunching with a group of Skeffington detractors, among them Force and Bishop Gardner. Skeffington begs the men not to use the housing project as a political football, but Cass and his associates remain adamant. That afternoon, Skeffington flatters Cass's simpering son into becoming the fire commissioner. The next day, the mayor shows the elder Cass a photograph of his son, looking particularly foolish in his fireman's helmet, and asks, "Do I announce the appointment?" Cass agrees to provide the loan in exchange for the embarrassing photograph. Soon the Plymouth Club becomes the site of McCluskey's campaign headquarters, and the young candidate begins to make numerous television appearances. On the night before the election, Skeffington has dinner with Adam and Maeve and finally succeeds in charming the young woman. After the couple votes, however, she smilingly refuses to reveal her choice to her husband. As the returns begin to come in, Skeffington's campaign headquarters is noisy and upbeat, but it soon becomes apparent that McCluskey has won the election by a landslide. After hearing the television reporter describe the election as the biggest political upset in the city's history, Skeffington warmly congratulates his opponent and announces that he now plans to run for governor. The mayor then walks home alone as McCluskey's raucous victory parade fills the streets. Shrugging sheepishly at the portrait of his wife, Skeffington begins to climb the stairs but suddenly suffers a heart attack and collapses. The next day, as Skeffington rests in bed, scores of well-wishers appear outside the mayor's residence. Though his doctor orders him to see no one, Skeffington insists on saying goodbye to his old friends. Sugrue disdainfully asserts that if he had it to do over again, Skeffington would surely live his life differently. Barely able to open his eyes, Skeffington exclaims, "Like hell I would!" and dies.

Hulu is in the process of developing an app for Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and iPod touch, we have learned from a plugged-in industry executive. The app is coming soon (within a few months) and is "badass" -- as excellent as Hulu's Web site. Video will work over both wi-fi and 3G, we're told.
It won't be the first Web video app for the iPhone -- CBS's TV.com app is on the market, as are Joost, i.TV and several others -- but it could be the best. Hulu's tech and design teams have demonstrated themselves as the best in the Web video industry, as everyone is now trying to emulate them. One hurdle, we assume: Because of Hulu's streaming architecture, it might not be possible to download videos to watch later, such as on the subway or an airplane.
Why would Apple and AT&T approve this app, which will use up a lot of bandwidth and compete with Apple's iTunes video store? Because it will help sell iPhones, iPod touches, and AT&T subscriptions. And that's the whole point of the App Store. (And if we were Hulu, we'd offer Apple and/or AT&T an ad revenue-sharing deal, too.)
Mobile video has not taken off yet, mainly because most services -- offered by carriers -- are too expensive, or look terrible. Just over 3% of mobile subscribers watch video on their phones, according to comScore. An iPhone Hulu app, on the other hand, could be very popular.
We have asked Hulu for comment and will update if we hear back.

Game 104: Toronto at Oakland
The only thing the Blue Jays would say about the reason Scott Rolen requested a trade was that the third baseman wanted to be moved for "personal reasons." Beyond that, the general response was, "You'll have to ask him about that." I was told yesterday it was for family reasons and Rolen addressed the matter with the Reds media today:
"I'm thrilled to be here. This is as close to home as I can be. My parents brought me here to watch ballgames, and where I'm from there is a St. Louis, Cincinnati split right down the middle. I'm a Midwestern guy, and I enjoy being here. I certainly enjoyed my time in St. Louis with Walt [Jocketty] and I enjoy this part of the country. This is a spot I wanted to get back to and be here for awhile.
"When I was in St. Louis, I was real comfortable in that area. I have a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old, and my wife and parents travel quite a bit, my brother lives in this area. I've always wanted to try and finish up at home or get back to this area, this part of the country. I did approach J.P. [Ricciardi] and asked if he would consider moving me back to this area, to the Midwest.
"[Cincinnati] certainly would be my number one choice. J.P. approached me at one point and said he would look into it and try to accommodate me. I know he worked real hard, and I know Walt worked hard. I'm very thankful and appreciative for the opportunity to get back to where I'm from, to where my family is."
So, there you have it. And, hey, as a Chicagoan who has been living in Toronto for a number of years now, as great of a city as it is, it isn't home and that aspect can be hard on a family. Now, one could argue that Rolen should be thrilled to be playing anywhere for $11 million. But, he is nearing the end of his career and home is home, I guess. His family may have had a hard time adjusting to being in Canada. Who knows?
Edwin Encarnacion and Josh Roenicke — two of the three players dealt to Toronto for Rolen — are both in Oakland with the Jays now. Roenicke is wearing "33" — Rolen's former number with the Jays. Encarnacion is wearing "7" and is starting tonight at third base. Batting cleanup? Lyle Overbay.

a 4 year old and 2 yr old, is a lot of work. his wife must be a saint given his schedule. i applaud the GBOAT for making his family a priority. I still love him no matter where he plays.
Snider followed up his 4 double night with a 2 for 3 night which included another home run, another double, another 2 rbi's and a walk.
He's now hitting .425 over the last 10 games with 7 doubles, 3 home runs and 15 rbi's in that period. He has really taken off since they put him in the 4th hole with Dopirak hitting 5th. No question, Snider is the Jays 4th hole hitter for the future. Seeing how hot this kid gets, it will be fun to watch him in the years to come.
Brian Dopirak continues his very consistent hitting and is now .343/.357/.522 over his 16 games in Vegas with 3 home runs, 3 doubles and 13 driven in.
The two kids along with Lind and Hill give the Jays 4 young low cost players all capable of hitting 25-30 home runs and driving in 100 rbi's per year.
If Cito, Butterfield & Tennace can improve Edwin Encarnacion's defense and consistency, and Wells/Rios perform as we all thought they could, then we could be looking at a real dangerous lineup capable of putting large numbers of runs on the board in a hurry.
What's still missing is a short stop who hits for high average, good obp and has good speed, like Eric Aybar from LA or a younger Scutaro.
It really is too bad the Halladay deal with LA didn't get done, hopefully it gets sooner than later.
I do not understand why Kevin Millar continues to be on this team when there is a guy in the minors (see Dopirak) putting up the numbers that GS mentioned. This team isn't going anywhere this year bring him up already. Even if they were in the race, kevin isn't contributing much.

DOD, VA to Launch Joint Electronic Health Record System
- Details
- Category: News
- Created: Tuesday, 22 May 2012 05:58
- Last Updated: Tuesday, 22 May 2012 05:58
- Written by Administrator
"Over the past two days, as many of you know, world leaders have gathered in Chicago to affirm our commitment to finishing the job right in Afghanistan," Panetta said. "This afternoon, Secretary Shinseki and I are coming together to affirm what in many ways is an equally important commitment: to care for and honor those who have protected our nation by serving it in uniform."
The center -- named for retired Navy captain and former NASA astronaut Jim Lovell, who was in the audience today -- amounts to a proving ground for the DOD-VA joint operating concept. It incorporates facilities, services and resources from the North Chicago VA Medical Center and the Naval Health Clinic Great Lakes.
"In response to a challenge issued by [President Barack Obama] three years ago, DOD and VA have been working steadily to increase the amount of health information that's shared between our two departments," Panetta said.
What Obama envisioned in 2009 was an initiative called the virtual lifetime electronic record, or VLER, for the future of electronic health data sharing. Since that time, Panetta said, the centerpiece of the DOD-VA effort has been an effort to build an integrated electronic health record for service members and veterans that can be accessed at any DOD and VA medical facility.
Such an integrated electronic health record, or iEHR, is "one that is open in architecture and nonproprietary in design to expand information sharing, eliminate gaps between our two robust health care systems," Shinseki said.
"This is key to seamlessness, critical to enhancing quality of health care, and essential to controlling costs," he added.
"Today," Panetta said, "I want to affirm that we are fully committed to putting this system, which will be the world's largest electronic health record system, in place across the nation in 2017."
The project's first milestone will come in 2014, the defense secretary said. At that time, the departments will field initial operating capabilities of the integrated electronic health record at test sites in San Antonio and in Hampton Roads, Va., where DOD and the VA provide medical care to thousands of service members and veterans.
The iEHR will unify the departments' now-separate legacy electronic health records systems into a common, secure system that makes service members' and veterans' health information available to them throughout their lifetimes.
During a media roundtable held today, experts from DOD and VA explained what a difference the new joint electronic health records could mean in someone's daily life.
"If a service member is seen in a DOD hospital and the next week has an appointment in a VA hospital, you'd like all of that information to be available to the VA doctor, just like they're being seen in the same hospital," Roger Baker, VA assistant secretary for information and technology, told reporters.
"That really is our concept here," he said, adding that something interesting happened during the first pilot test of a nationwide health information network.
As the first health record was shared between a VA facility and a private-sector facility, he said, the private-sector doctor said, "I didn't know the patient had that allergy."
"It was an allergy the VA knew about, but that the patient hadn't told his private-sector doctor about, and clearly those kinds of allergies can have a tremendous impact on quality of care," Baker said. "That ability to have a more comprehensive record can do life-saving things, frankly."
In 2014, when the systems are rolled out in San Antonio and Hampton Roads, Baker explained, records for patients in the VA before then will be as they were.
"If you've recently moved from active service into veteran status," he added, "the most important thing you will notice is that your VA doctor has a lot more access to information about your previous medical care in DOD than he or she may have had in the past."
Probably more importantly, he said, doctors will see that information side by side with other treatment the patient may have had in the VA system, so they'll have a more complete view of the patient's entire medical history.
Beth McGrath, a DOD deputy chief management officer, said that in Hampton Roads and San Antonio in the 2014 time frame, "the clinical capabilities we're deploying first are focused on laboratory and immunizations."
Both experts said the Defense Department has sufficient funding in its budget for the effort.
At the news conference, Panetta said implementing and testing the new system over a period of years "will help us make sure that we are doing it right and that we have time to adjust based on experience in the field." Related Sites:

Returning to their destroyed village after a catastrophic typhoon that killed thousands in the Philippines last year, a weary band of Catholics vowed a lifelong sacrifice to thank God for saving them.
They had walked through the streets of their hometown for three consecutive days before the storm with icons in hand, while praying and asking the Lord to spare them from the looming disaster.
Although giant ocean surges that swept through their coastal village destroyed many homes, and some of the most powerful winds recorded on land tore roofs off others, all of the about 3,500 residents of Opong survived.
The devotees' ensuing vow was to perform a religious procession similar to their pre-typhoon marches at least twice a week for the rest of their lives.
"We want to thank the Lord for giving us a second chance at life. We want to thank Him for giving us the strength of our faith," Elsie Indi, a mother-of-four, who is one of the regular members of the procession, told reporters after a recent march.
Ten days after Typhoon Haiyan hit, AFP photographer Philippe Lopez took a dramatic photograph of Indi at the head of the Opong procession that came to symbolize the devotion, hope and resilience of many typhoon survivors.
The image won the Spot News category in the prestigious World Press Photograph Awards, and was named by Time magazine as one of the top 10 images last year.
Indi, 42, her invalid husband and four children fled their home just after dawn on Nov. 8 last year as knee-deep water rushed in, racing ahead of the torrent to a rice paddy at the base of a mountain about 1km away.
They, along with many other residents of Opong, sheltered in the muddy field for about six hours, waiting for the storm surges to recede into the Pacific Ocean and the intense rain to pass.
During that time, the typhoon killed or left missing about 8,000 people in towns and cities of the central Philippines near Opong, making it the country's deadliest storm on record.
"Everyone in Opong survived, we can thank God for that," Indi said.
During the most chaotic and desperate period immediately after the typhoon, some of the residents of Opong held their processions twice a day.
The procession, involving anywhere from a few people to more than 20, took more than an hour.
"After being saved, we had to make some sacrifices. The procession is one form of sacrifice," said Virginia Piedad, 47, a primary school teacher who came up with the idea for the Opong community's march.
Asked when the Opong residents would give up the procession, Piedad and Indi insisted they would continue their hour-long marches every Wednesday and Saturday with the same Jesus statues in their arms until they died.
Yet despite the relentless giving of thanks, life for Indi, and many others in Opong, often feels like an abyss of anxiety and exhaustion.
The iron-sheet roofing, windows and steel trusses of Indi's cramped home were torn away or badly damaged during the storm and she has no means to replace them.
She estimates it would cost more than 150,000 pesos (US$3,300) to repair the house, an impossible amount when her work as a market vendor brings in most of her family's only income.
Indi's husband, Roel, has not worked for six years because of severe diabetes, while three of her children are still studying.
A fourth child, a 21-year-old son, earns about 200 pesos a day making concrete blocks for houses.

Snapshots from Sustainable Immunization Financing in Brazzaville
Brazzaville, Republic of Congo
Passing through a leafy neighborhood of Brazzaville, we turn into the well kept confines of the national immunization program. Each office is named for its function: Surveillance, Statistics and Data Management and so on.
In the cold room, we find a team working hard on this Saturday morning, preparing to dispatch enough measles vaccine, Vitamin A and mebendazole capsules for a mass campaign about to reach 800,000 children.
Soon after, national immunization manager, Dr. Herman Boris DIDI NGOSSAKI, steps into the office, dressed in full campaign regalia. People are coming and going, loading vehicles, preparing. Dr. DIDI takes time to meet with us to discuss advocacy strategies for immunization financing for the coming year. His phone rings incessantly but he is fully engaged in the discussion. A true multi-tasker doing what he loves best. Immunization Program Budget Manager Mme. Clementine MASSENGO pops in.
Congo Brazzaville is close to achieving the sustainable immunization financing goal.
Our work complete, we pause for a picture. (from left to right: Sabin SPO Dr. Helene Mambu-Ma-Disu, SIF Director Mike McQuestion, Mme. Clementine MASSENGO, Dr. Boris DIDI).

Our images are all screenprinted using overglazes, then fired into the glaze (making them indelible). The tiles have a little drilled-out recess in the back for hanging as an art piece - Or you can also use it as a trivet (we're very into the dual-purpose ware here :) - See middle image.
► Measurements are: a tad bit over 5.75" square, and 1" high/thick; weight of one tile is 1.25lbs in weight (so it's a quarter of a pound lighter than our last tile!)
All of our ware is made from scratch in our studio in Chicago using porcelain clay, and finished using our signature glazes and overglazes (which are fired into the glaze - they're lead-free + hand screenprinted + indelible!)
Our logo is on the piece so you know who made it and where it hails from.
► Food, dishwasher & microwave safe (good to know even though it's a tile)

It's that time of year again; Google's leading its ostensibly lonely and unloved services out to pasture. This time Google Sync, and some more obscure calender options are headed for that big cloud storage unit in the sky.
Google Sync allowed Google Mail, Calendar and Contacts access through the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol. The introduction of the new CardDAV open protocol provides the same functionality, but starting on January 30th, you won't be able to sign up for a new Google Sync account. Existing accounts will trudge through unaffected, and Google Sync will also still be available for Google Apps for Business, Government and Education.
The other services being shut down are mostly specific features. Effective immediately you can no longer use SMS to check your calendar or create events, appointment slots are going away on January 4th, and you can also wave goodbye to Punchd—the loyalty punchcard holding app you've never heard of—on June 7th, 2013. For more information, you can check out the Google blog's official list, but there are no utterly world-ending retirements, at least not this time around. [The Google Blog]

Subscribe To Batman Vs. Superman Looking At Joaquin Phoenix To Play Lex Luthor? Updates
I've already subscribed
Much like he has throughout his entire career thanks to brilliant performances in movies like The Master and Walk The Line, Joaquin Phoenix is currently getting an unyielding amount of praise for his turn in Spike Jonze's sci-fi romance Her (which hits theaters in limited release today), but soon he may be heading from the indie world into the big blockbuster territory. According to Variety's sources, Warner Bros. is now targeting the actor for an important role in Zack Snyder's upcoming Man of Steel, and while the exact character isn't specified, it's rumored that he could be up to play Superman arch-villain Lex Luthor.
Before you get too excited about this news, however, this is still far from a slam dunk. While the studio may be interested in getting the actor for the part, they are still in the earliest stages of the idea and it's not even clear if an offer has been made. Also, as the trade points out, Phoenix has spent his career avoiding blockbuster/action movies, which means that even if Warner Bros. wants him, he may not have any interest.
Should Phoenix sign on, it would not only put him in a cast alongside Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Diane Lane and Lawrence Fishburne, but also Amy Adams, with whom he worked on both The Master and Her. The film will be going into production in the first half of next year in order to meet the currently-scheduled July 17, 2015 release date.
Variety points out that names like Jason Momoa and Callan Mulvey have been rumored to be in consideration for the still untitled Batman vs. Superman movie, but their sources are now saying that neither of the characters will be playing the film's main villain. Instead, the studio wants "someone who would be a slam dunk in the role," which presumably means that they are going for a top-of-the-A-list actor.
Phoenix has completed production on his second collaboration with director Paul Thomas Anderson, starring in an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vice, which is expected to be released some time next year. In the meantime, the actor is currently considering starring in the new Gus Van Sant's movie Sea of Trees. For now, however, you should focus on trying to see Her, because - as I mention in my review - it's absolutely incredible.
What do you think about this potential news? Would you like to see Joaquin Phoenix as part of the Batman vs. Superman cast? Do you think he would be a good choice to play Lex Luthor? Answer our poll below and let us know what you're thinking in the comments section!

(AP) — Hopes that Illinois could quickly become the 10th state in the nation to legalize gay marriage bogged down Thursday when the bill's Democratic supporters backed off plans to hold a full Senate vote on it and went home after Friday's scheduled session was canceled.
Same-sex marriage advocates entered the lame-duck session Wednesday with high expectations of passing a bill by the assembly's Jan. 9 curtain. Backers were riding a wave of momentum from successes during the November elections as well as public encouragement from President Barack Obama.
After two days of encountering snags in trying to move the measure, Sen. Heather Steans finally won approval in a Senate committee Thursday evening with an 8-5 vote, which was met with cheers by gay marriage supporters.
But Democrats called off a full Senate vote after Steans said three backers — two Democrats and one Republican — weren't present, demonstrating how delicate and contentious the issue remains even in a left-leaning state dominated by Democrats.
The measure's sponsors downplayed the urgency to pass the measure in the lame-duck session, suggesting the issue could win approval in the next Legislature, which convenes next week. Steans still insisted approval of gay marriage in Illinois remained "a question of when, not if."
"As people vote," Steans said, "they should be thinking about where we want to be in history on this."
Steans says she still might call a vote Tuesday when the Senate returns before the end of the lame-duck session on Wednesday.
But Senate President John Cullerton — like Steans, a Chicago Democrat — said it might be a weeks before the bill gets a full Senate vote. His spokeswoman said "the bill needs work," and even Steans suggested working with Republican opponents to get a bipartisan agreement.
Expectations were high for a productive end to the 97th General Assembly, with legislation not only on gay marriage but on assault-weapons restrictions and the Leviathan Illinois issue, a solution to the $96 billion hole in state retirement-benefit accounts.
Gun curbs advanced, and a pension fix has been proposed in the House, which isn't scheduled to return to Springfield until Sunday — giving Gov. Pat Quinn reason to stay optimistic that his top priority will still get attention.
Democrats hold a 35-24 majority in the Senate, but party members outside Chicago don't always toe the line. Not all are on board with extending marriage rights to same-sex couples.
A gay actor who stars in a popular TV comedy campaigned for the measure in Illinois while religious leaders — including 1,700 clergy, from Catholic to Muslim — united in writing lawmakers to oppose it.
Ralph Rivera, a lobbyist for the Illinois Family Institute, told lawmakers the bill was "an attack on our particular religious beliefs" and that it would force churches and other religious institutions to allow their facilities to be used for same-sex marriages.
Steans said that wouldn't be the case, but she said she planned to work with Republicans to address some of those concerns.
Bishop Thomas Paprocki of the Springfield Catholic diocese said the bill would undermine "natural marriage" between a man and a woman and would send a message that children don't need a mother and a father.
"Laws teach," Paprocki said. "They tell us what is socially acceptable and what is not."
Mercedes Santos and Theresa Volpe brought their two children to testify in favor of the bill. The Chicago women have been together 21 years.
Volpe said while the couple has a civil union, a hospital administrator once refused to let her into their son's room because she and Santos aren't married. She said their family deserves the same respect given to other married families.
"We shouldn't have to always care paperwork to show we are their real mothers," she said.
And in a twist not uncommon in Illinois politics, the state's Republican Party chairman said he was lobbying for what he termed a conservative position in favor of proposal, calling it a matter of equality for "the party of Lincoln."
"I don't think the government should be in the business of telling people who can and can't get married," GOP chairman Pat Brady said Thursday. "... This is the most conservative position."
Supporters said they pressed the matter in the waning days of the General Assembly's session to take advantage of soaring support in the state and nationally.
And lame-duck lawmakers theoretically have more freedom to vote without fear of voter backlash. Even though Democrats will claim a 40-19 advantage in the new session, newcomers will bring more diverse views in a state where southern Illinoisans live closer to Birmingham, Ala., than to Chicago.
The plan comes just 18 months after Illinois recognized civil unions.
But the hiccups piled up quickly. Steans' attempt to get the amended marriage language onto an existing bill Wednesday night stalled when Republicans demanded a roll call on a procedural measure and defeated the bill's progress.
The Executive Committee vote gave Steans a needed victory, but she called off a floor vote Thursday, having said earlier in the day she needed votes from missing members — one Democrat who was out of the country, another who had a family issue to attend, and a GOP supporter who was absent because of her mother's death.
"People are changing their minds every day," Steans said. "This is never going to be an easy one, but it's only going to get easier."

"Check. One, two...check," echoes the voice of Carnegie Mellon vocal student Anna Vogelzang. While this may be a typical day in the university's recording studio, this is not your typical microphone.
It was custom-built by engineering student Eric Boulanger — who studied top-quality microphones on the market with the eventual aim of making something that out performed them all.
"One summer, I was playing around in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and I decided to look into putting a microphone together," Boulanger explained. "As a recording engineer, I'm always thinking about how we can make good equipment even better."
After some initial corrections to eliminate interference from a local radio station, he brought the high-performing mic into the studio. Vogelzang took it for a test drive on the project Boulanger was engineering for her — her second full-length CD called "The Things That Airplanes Do." There, the two worked together to make a few more adjustments geared toward getting the best sound for her vocal range.
Boulanger confesses that it's an art to getting a mic to sound good. "As high-tech as a microphone might seem, good results really come through trial and error," he said. "It's not like there's a simulation or computer to go by."
The creation evolved into a research project for Boulanger, who enlisted art student and music minor Ali Spagnola to design a logo and some of the mic's aesthetic features. In return, Boulanger volunteered to engineer her CD project.
Spagnola is thrilled to be at a university where there are so many talented people with whom to barter services. "It's so great to be able to do what you love knowing that, whatever you need, there is always someone just around the corner who can help."
Boulanger and Vogelzang recently mastered "The Things That Airplanes Do" at Capitol Records in Los Angeles. Vogelzang will present the project — which is also her senior thesis — at Meeting of the Minds. The CD can be found in Pittsburgh at Desolation Row on Craig Street and Paul's CDs in Bloomfield.

Rosslyn, Va.—NEMA, the association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers, encourages industry action to expand meter socket lifespan and inspections.
As the result of the rapid expansion of Smart Grid and advanced metering infrastructure, many utilities around the country are replacing existing electricity meters with new solid-state smart meters and two-way communication devices. These new systems offer significant new benefits to both the consumer and the utility (electricity service provider).
For the first time, meters will allow consumers to adjust electricity use in response to the price of electricity that varies throughout the day.
Smart meters are often installed in pre-existing meter sockets. Meter sockets are expected to operate safely for many years. However, the safe operating life of the meter socket may be reduced by many factors including (but not limited to) excessive moisture, environmental contaminants, frequent changing of meters, excessive electrical load (overload or short circuit), vandalism, ground settling, storm damage, and other conditions.
As utilities move toward two-way communications for meters and remote meter reading, the opportunity for inspection of meter sockets is expected to decline. The interval between site visits by utility personnel could be more than 100 times longer than current monthly schedules.
Only the utility can inspect the socket because of the utility seal. For this reason, NEMA strongly recommends that all existing meter sockets be thoroughly inspected when new electrical meters are installed. Inspection criteria should include (but not be limited to) indications of excessive heating, corrosion, loose connections or components, deformed socket jaws, broken components, failed insulation, damage due to ground settling or vandalism, or any exposed live parts.
If any damage is discovered, the meter socket should be replaced by a qualified electrician immediately.
NEMA is the association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers, founded in 1926 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. Its member companies manufacture a diverse set of products including power transmission and distribution equipment, lighting systems, factory automation and control systems, and medical diagnostic imaging systems.

NEW YORK (AP) — Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon has been suspended three games for making contact with an umpire.
The suspension was to begin Tuesday night against the New York Yankees, but Papelbon is appealing.
Major League Baseball also fined Papelbon an undisclosed amount for his actions in the ninth inning last Saturday, when he blew a four-run lead as the Oakland Athletics tied it at 7. Boston won 9-8 in 14 innings.
Papelbon was upset with the balls and strikes calls of plate umpire Tony Randazzo. The pitcher said something to Randazzo after Conor Jackson's two-run single and the umpire took off his mask and replied. Papelbon rushed toward the umpire and was ejected. At one point during the argument, Papelbon bumped Randazzo with his chest.

The A1VO35 axial piston pump from Rexroth reduces energy consumption while maintaining performance. As fuel prices continue to rise, so does the user's need to find ways to make machines more energy efficient without sacrificing on the package size or increased cost. The A1VO35 meets these demands because it is designed to fit in the same volume as a comparable pump due to its integrated cartridge valve but also offers the ability to go off stroke when demand is reduced, thus decreasing the energy needed to run the system while still maintaining constant load pressure.
To make the switch easier for manufacturers, the A1VO has similar dimensions and performance data to other generally used fixed displacement pumps. With a displacement of 35 cm3 it is designed for speeds up to 3000 rpm. The variable displacement pump is rated at a working pressure of 3600 psi and a peak pressure of up to 4500 psi, and has a flow capacity of up to 27.7 gpm. The overall efficiency is nearly 90%. Service life is comparable to the A10VO and A10VNO versions, commonly used on large tractors and other mobile applications.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2004 Media Releases
The City of Lincoln has been named one of the top "digital cities" in the nation by the Center for Digital Government, a national research and advisory institute on information technology in government and education. Lincoln tied for sixth in cities with populations from 125,000 to 249,000. This is the third consecutive year Lincoln has finished in the top ten in the study.
The award will be presented to Mayor Coleen J. Seng at 1:30 p.m. TODAY at the beginning of the City Council meeting at the County-City Building, 555 South 10th Street.
"We are always looking for ways to make local government information and services more accessible through our web site 24 hours a day," said Mayor Seng. "I want to congratulate the City's information technology staff who keep us on the cutting edge in this area."
Doug Thomas, Manager of the Information Services Division of the City Finance Department, said more than 300 cities participated in the annual study, which assesses how local governments use information technology to streamline operations and deliver services. The study looks at the availability of information, forms and services; the ability to send feedback; and the management of information technology.
"Citizens are now able to use our web site to pay real estate taxes, water and sewer bills, parking tickets, pet license renewals and the fee for local criminal history checks," said Thomas. "In the next year, we expect to add more on-line services including permit application, a centralized system to handle citizen requests for services, and Parks and Recreation services. These services are available due to the vision and support of the Mayor's Office, the City Council, the County Board and our other officials."
Fourteen other cities were recognized in Lincoln's category. They are Fort Wayne, Indiana (1st); Winston-Salem, North Carolina (2nd); Des Moines, Iowa (3rd); Plano, Texas and Salt Lake City, Utah (tie for 4th); Richmond, Virginia (5th); Norfolk, Virginia and Torrance, California (tie for 6th with Lincoln); Irving, Texas (7th); Hampton, Virginia (8th); Bakersfield, California and Mobile, Alabama (tie for 9th); Madison, Wisconsin and Naperville, Illinois (tie for 10th).
"I commend our nation's digital-savvy cities for setting the bar high and for putting the needs of their customers and citizens first," said Cathilea Robinett, Executive Director of the Center for Digital Government.
Interlinc, the joint web site of Lincoln and Lancaster County averages nearly seven million hits per month and recently received authorization to shorten the web addresses. Interlinc can now be reached at lincoln.ne.gov and lancaster.ne.gov. The former addresses (www.lincoln.ne.gov, www.co.lancaster.ne.us) also still function.

It has been very good to me this past four years but it's starting to go all wonky and haywire and it's becoming too hard to maintain. I think the problem lies in the fact that it's gone through three migrations of Blogger and there's just too much data stored here.
So, say goodbye to this site.But say hello to this site!
I will be carrying on with the 365 Doodles project right up until December 31st. And expect all the usual rubbish that I would have posted to this blog.
Think of it as a regeneration.

About Medical Physicists
If you ever had a mammogram, an ultrasound, an X ray or a PET scan, chances are reasonable that a medical physicist was working behind the scenes to make sure the imaging procedure was as effective as possible. Medical physicists help to develop new imaging techniques, improve existing ones, and assure the safety of radiation used in medical procedures in radiology and nuclear medicine. They collaborate with radiation oncologists to design cancer treatment plans. They provide routine quality assurance and quality control on radiation equipment and procedures to ensure that cancer patients receive the prescribed dose of radiation to the correct location. They also contribute to the development of physics intensive therapeutic techniques, such as the stereotactic radio surgery and prostate seed implants for cancer to name a few. The annual AAPM meeting is a great resource, providing guidance to physicists to implement the latest and greatest technology in a community hospital close to you.
About AAPM
AAPM (www.aapm.org) is a scientific, educational, and professional organization of more than 6,000 medical physicists. Headquarters are located at the American Center for Physics in College Park, MD.

One ant sinks in water, but a bunch of them? It turns out they can link together and become an unsinkable life raft. New research shows that when fire-ants are dropped in water, they quickly form a pancake-shaped floating mass, which traps air beneath them.
The results are incredibly buoyant (a process the researchers liken to weaving waterproof baskets). The trapped air also protects the bottom layer of ants from drowning, and as individual ants are removed, the others shift positions to balance out the mass.
Rather than a beautiful instance of cooperation, it looks like this process may be a forced one, as those towards the edge of the ant mass are forcibly held in place by their neighbors.
The study was trialled on masses of ants numbering between 500 and 8,000. Each group successfully formed a raft. The behavior is an adaptation that's extremely useful in the ants' Brazilian rainforest habitat, due to frequent floods. Scientists compared the behavior of the ant masses to a fluid, with each ant acting as a molecule of the liquid.
Here's the upshot: If you can't drown them, I guess fire's the only answer.

Posts TaggedType Rider
I'm a typography geek. I've written about it before, I've agonized over it before, and I've dreamt about if before. I've spent money on it (more than I'd maybe like to admit), and I've attended tours of old library vaults just to take a look at some print type from the Gutenberg days. Tonight, I was out at a family dinner at a restaurant and spent an inordinate amount of time staring at the menu because I thought it was written with Memphis Std Medium. (I think I ended up being wrong, but it was a close call.)
As a game, then, Type:Rider really excites me. The game is focused on a visual history of typography that's reminiscent of some of my favourite iOS games to date — games like Rayman: Jungle Run and BADLAND. Its unique visual style and accessible gameplay makes it a winner for typography geeks and their normal friends. Read on to find out what makes Type:Rider an unforgettable experience.
