Some have said Boston Marathon winner Meb Keflezighi is not truly American
Haimy Assefa writes that she faced similar questions of her identity when she arrived from Ethiopia

(CNN) -- I was born in Ethiopia, raised in Oklahoma and Colorado, and ended up in Brooklyn, New York.
Coming to America from Ethiopia, a place where black and white were only colors that had little to do with race, I had to learn English, and also the language of identity.
In America, I was black.
So when some online commenters questioned whether Boston Marathon winner and Eritrean-American Meb Keflezighi is truly "American," it reminded me of my own experience as an immigrant who became a naturalized American citizen and embraced a new identity.
My parents, two brothers and I had an incredible life in Ethiopia.
We always had the newest toys and clothes from my father's frequent work-related trips abroad.
There were lots of friends and just as much family. Life was very communal, much like our style of eating.
Of course, Ethiopia was not perfect, but it was all that I knew.
My well-traveled parents wanted to grant my brothers and I the opportunities that America offered.
Movies shaped my brothers' and my perception of America. As far as I was concerned, everyone lived in massive homes, owned multiple cars and was generally happier.

Eddie Murphy, left, in the movie, Coming to America.
The movie "Coming to America" stunned me the most. The images of homeless people and the rundown apartment occupied by the characters played by Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall contradicted the America of my imagination.
In the weeks before leaving Ethiopia, my older brother Yoseph and I used to stay up late talking about how a group of welcoming American friends, a brand new American car and a huge American house would soon be ours.
But landing in Oklahoma City, our expectations soon dissipated.
From the thick, humid air that permeates Oklahoma in August to the instant feeling of being an outsider, we began to breathe less easy.
In my fourth grade class, my peers were not as curious about me as I was about them. They avoided me and teased me for being African.
I mostly attributed my peers' distaste for me to my country of origin, until the day my older brother Yoseph came home from school after getting into a fight with a boy.
The boy had called him a "nigger."
I soon realized it wasn't just because of our funny accents or nationality that people treated us differently.

Finding Ethiopia's future gold medalists
In America, we were seen as "black." I became painfully aware of my brown skin, my unruly hair, and the disapproving looks directed my way.
And so my introduction to American culture began.
By the time my family moved to Colorado, the outsized expectations of America were a distant memory.
I felt I had a better grasp of American culture and my new black identity. My English was fluent, without a trace of an accent; it allowed me to socialize with less reluctance.
I quickly made friends at my junior high school and became involved in extracurricular activities. I found comfort in having friends that looked like me.
By the time I was a teenager, working weekends serving meals at a retirement home, I learned the difference between subtle and overt racism.
There was man there who refused to speak to me, let me take his order, or even look me in the eyes because I was black. It was understood that only my white co-workers would interact with him.
The people I was close to would praise me by saying how well my parents raised me, and told me: "You're not like the rest of them. You're different."
I almost thought that they said these things as a compliment.
But I understood they were making an exception for me, in order to maintain their bigoted views of black and brown people. Because I defied the scope of their prejudice, I had to be unique.
This infuriated me.
I tried to take off-the-cuff comments from the elderly with a grain of salt. After all, they are from a different time period, when those sentiments were expected and accepted.
But it was when I heard my peers say, "You're not really black. You don't even act black," that I realized just how much the perceived singularity of the black identity transcends generations, age and gender.
This made me embrace my "blackness" more passionately, and I began to identify more as "black" than Ethiopian.

I wasn't quite Ethiopian enough for some of my Ethiopian friends who were convinced moving to the U.S. at such a young age caused me to lose some legitimacy. My vivid memories of Ethiopia and ability to speak my native language didn't cement my "Ethiopian-ness" to some.
And I did not live up to my American peers' expectations of being African-American either, even after becoming a naturalized citizen.
So there I was, the president of the Ethiopian Students Association, a member of the Black Student Alliance, and the founder of United Women of Color at Colorado State University.
I became quite the skilled juggler. But it was exhausting.
Tired of the balancing act, I began to care less and less about others' perceptions of me.
Eventually, I became proud of not fitting neatly into someone else's definition of being black or Ethiopian.
When I moved to New York, I felt at home, and met people with a similar understanding of black identity -- one that was varied and nuanced. They were more interested in having conversations about my experiences, and less interested in my color.
I no longer felt the weight of defending all of the different aspects of my identity to everyone.
But there is one thing about the black identity that remains constant: the complexities of the individual experiences that inform our identity.
Yes, I am black. I am Ethiopian. I am American.
I am also a journalist, a filmmaker, a sister, a daughter, a friend, an avid traveler and a woman who is constantly growing and evolving.

There is no doubt that my experiences, at times turbulent, have contributed to my racial identity. But my identity is never static. Instead, it remains fluid.
The reality is that my story is not singular simply because I was born abroad. It is distinctive in the way that each of us, as individuals, is distinct.
And so are our identities.
So when people say I am not "really black" or that Meb Keflezighi is not "really American," I'd invite them to run a mile in each of our shoes -- to see what we've gone through to become as uniquely American as anyon

CHICAGO – Loyola University Maryland men's basketball signee Marquis Wright was named the 2012-2013 Gatorade Maryland Boys' Basketball Player of the Year in collaboration with USA TODAY High School Sports.
Wright, who will don the Greyhounds' green and grey in 2013-2014, helped his North Point High School team advance to the Maryland Class 4A Semifinals and a 24-3 record this season.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound senior guard averaged 16.6 points, 6.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 3.9 steals while earning Southern Maryland Athletic Conference Most Valuable Player honors for the second year in a row.
Wright, who has maintained a 3.08 grade point average in the classroom, concluded his high school career with 1,084 points, 560 assists, 325 rebounds and 290 steals as a four-year varsity player at the school in Waldorf, Md.
He is the first player to win the Maryland award from a public school since Oxon Hills High School's Mike Sweetney (Georgetown) earned the honor in 2000. Prior to Sweetney, the last public school player to win the award was current Loyola women's basketball assistant coach Keith Booth after his senior season at Dunbar High School in 1993 before heading to Maryland.
"Marquis Wright is a very cerebral point guard who has all the tools to lead a college team," said Dale Lamberth, head coach at Thomas Stone High in a release by Gatorade. "Having competed against his team over the past four years, I have seen tremendous growth in his leadership and skills on the court."
Wright will be the second Gatorade State Boys' Basketball Player of the Year on the Greyhounds' roster next season, joining current freshman Eric Laster who won the award in Delaware last year.
The Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport. The selection process is administered by the Gatorade high school sports leadership team in partnership with USA TODAY High School Sports, which work with top sport-specific experts and a media advisory board of accomplished, veteran prep sports journalists to determine the state winners in each sport.

By Edward James Gurry Bentley College
Harry Clark Bentley was born in Harwinton, Connecticut, on February 28, 1877, to George Daniel and Sarach Louise (Blakeslee) Bentley. He passed away on Sunday, November 5, 1967, in Lenoir Hospital, Kinston, North Carolina. Although he never formally gradu-ated from high school he continued his preparatory education at Robbins Preparatory School, Norfolk, Connecticut, and at Eastman Business College, Poughkeepsie, New York. At the age of nineteen, Mr. Bentley founded Winsted Business College where he served as teacher and proprietor from 1898 to 1901. This college became the third largest in that state. Aware of his lack of academic prowess in accountancy he sold this school and returned to New York Univer-sity and became a member of its initial graduating class. Married to J. Belle Crasper of East Park, New York, and father to Ina Mai Robinson (late Mrs. Chester Robinson) and Belle Louise Bradley (Mrs. J. Earl Bradley) he set out to remedy his limitations in account-ing by working days and studying nights as a member of the first class of New York University's School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance. At the 1903 graduation exercises Mr. Bentley did not re-ceive his degree owing to his lack of a formal high school educa-tion. Mr. Bentley's later accomplishments caused the University to mail him his Bachelor's of Commercial Science. Acknowledgment of this degree was infrequently mentioned on his business or per-sonal stationary.
Public Experience
Mr. Bentley began work as a public accountant for Smith, Reckitt, Clarke, & Co., Certified Public Accountants, in 1901. He later helped establish the firm of Bentley, Moyer & Laird which enjoyed a brief two-year existence. He worked for the Audit Co., of New York from 1907 through 1908; he served as chief accountant for a group of

Are the Raiders the NFL's dirtiest team, or do league officials single them out because of their black jerseys? With Oakland coming to Sun Life Stadium Sunday, that's a good place to start our talking points for Saturday.
1. For whatever reason, the Raiders are once again the most penalized team in the NFL – by a long shot.
It's a common theory put forth on the Raiders' blogs (and thereby held by Raider Nation) that their team is constantly being unjustly whistled for penalties that would be ignored if committed by other teams. Such conspiracy theories, of course, are impossible to prove, but the fact is the Raiders are leading the league in yellow flags for the second straight year.
And it's not even close. Oakland is being assessed an average of 85.1 penalty yards per game; Carolina is next-to-last at 74.6. Miami, by the way, ranks third from the bottom at 43.9. The only teams with fewer penalty yards per game are the league's worst and best teams, Indianapolis (36.8) and Green Bay (38.3).

Where I stand, what I am!
I don't feel like my beliefs have changed a lot in the past couple years. I believe in God and consider myslef an agnostic theist and progressive not-so-much practicing Muslim. I don't feel a strong pull towards organized religion and I 100% definitely don't believe it's a necessity to follow a religion, Islam included. I think we can do it all on our own and follow God's will but that it's also possible for religion to enrich our lives.
I admit that I like feeling like other people believe the same things as me and find communication with them very enriching! Or people who believe in the same values and observe them in different ways - extremely enriching! In a way, this is a religious experience and togetherness and unity is so beautiful.
I like the idea that when I pray (salat), I do it in the same (almost) way as so many millions of Muslims around the world. There is something about this ritual that really does bring me closer to God in a real way and brings me peace. I don't feel like I've sinned when I don't pray for a long time, I just believe that being active in our rituals is better for us. I believe God is pleased when people think of Him and prayer is one way to do that.
Islam is the closest religion for me (progressive Islam). I'm also very drawn to the idea of the tao. I believe that everything is perfectly balanced and I see Islam as supporting that as well. Really, this idea of balance is how I accept darkness and evil. Without it, what would light and goodness be?
I don't think of what others are (good or bad) because I see life as having unlimited things about it that I just DON'T KNOW or specifically CAN'T KNOW. This is the basis of my belief system. That there's just too much I can't know. I believe that we're all equipped to work out the truth inside ourselves, with the help of people around us, other thinkers (lectures, books, etc), scholars and prophets. Not the whole truth, but the amount of truth that we're meant to deal with and know as humans. I'm not the type to go into deep philosophical thought, I prefer to leave a lot of that to the mysteries of God.
So that's mostly it in a few paragraphs :)

Eduardo Vargas could be on his way out of Naples.
Despite playing well for Chile so far in the World Cup 2014 group stage, Napoli boss Rafa Benitez remains to be convinced, and is set on selling the striker, according to the Mirror.
The 24-year-old forward also performed reasonably well while on loan to Valencia last season, scoring 5 goals in 25 appearances.
Benitez is looking to sell Vargas for a fee of £9 million ($15.3 million), and English Premier League sides are said to be interested in signing Vargas.
Chile Adds More Believers After Ousting Spain
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Chile started the World Cup as rank outsiders. But by eliminating defending World Cup champion Spain with a 2-0 win on Wednesday and reaching the last 16 — with a game to spare — it suddenly has more believers.
By making the knockout stage this squad has matched what Chile achieved four years ago under Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa. And most think this version is better than the last one.
"I don't know if it's the best victory," Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli said. "But it's a victory I'll never forget and how we did it, neutralizing a team with so much ability as Spain."
Eduardo Vargas scored into an unguarded net in the 20th minute, and Charles Aranguiz made it 2-0 in the 43rd. The rest was hard work, grit and teamwork. It followed a 3-1 win over Australia in the opening game, set up by two early goals.
A disciple of Bielsa and also an Argentine, Sampaoli may top his mentor's success.
Chile went out four years ago against Brazil in the first knock-out game. This time Brazil could be waiting again in the second round — or perhaps Mexico or Croatia. That depends on Chile's last Group B match against the Netherlands, which has also reached the last 16.
Chile faces the Netherlands Monday in their last group game, with the winner topping the group. The second-place team will meet the winner of Group A in the next stage.
"The way this team is playing with the team concept, putting aside the individual and playing like this, we will be a tough opponent for anybody," Sampaoli said.
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque concurred.
"I'm not just saying this to be kind," Del Bosque said. Chile "is a well-put-together team that works hard and will be very difficult for anyone."
Some Chile fans already believe.
Chile placed third in the World Cup in 1962, and had strong teams led in 70s and 80s by legendary defender Elias Figueroa — widely considered the country's greatest player.
"This team has the potential to be our best ever," said Chile fan Felipe Mardones, wearing a t-shirt that spelled out "Chile '62" on the front. "We have had some good teams, but this could be top them all. Let's see."
Bielsa was beloved in Chile after the last World Cup, and some suggested he run for president. Instead, he walked away in 2011 in a dispute with the Chilean football officials.
Claudio Borghi — another Argentine — took over, but was fired late in 2012 with Chile struggling in South American qualifying. In stepped Sampaoli, who convinced talented players like Alexis Sanchez (Barcelona) and Arturo Vidal (Juventus) and Eduardo Vargas (Valencia) they needed to hone teamwork and discipline.
"This team is maturing, and you noticed it today," Sampaoli said. "They believe in themselves, and that makes it a dangerous group. Playing toe-to-toe with Spain was not easy."

Recall how excited CAP was about Hyperspectral Imaging, and our wonderful new Gippsland aircraft? Yeah... lets do that again.
For SAR/DR missions, we've not done the systems engineering front end analysis, nor the functional allocations and information analysis, let alone the FMECA, and you're claiming "the tech already exists", and we should start investing in it. Were we to submit a POM through CAP-USAF for such a pipe dream, we'd be laughed at.
My takeaway: its pointless to pursue a Quixotic argument about engineering realities with a powerful ego who seems unassailably convinced that engineering is easy, all the answers are cheap and already solved and risk free, and who thinks that our obvious failure with a developmental and unproven system is not applicable to his belief that CAP can field an as-yet undeveloped UAV SAR system within a handful of years. Unproven, not developed UAV SAR systems, for which "Google it" is the reference. Yeah.
When the AF decides to start retiring planes and not replacing them, then I'll know the writing is on the wall.

Really? Considering how old some of the planes in the fleet are, I'd say we'd last quite a while after that.
Any ideas for Senior only Squadrons in 20 years, 50? What for them once the planes are gone? And the aging pilot population dwindles?
When drones are so easy to use and cheap that every agency has them and we are no longer called for SAR and Aerial Photography ... what will CAP become

The cone-shaped lungs are sponge-like organs that fill the chest cavity and make up most of the lower respiratory tract. Their most important job is providing oxygen to capillaries so they can oxygenate blood.
Each lung is divided into lobes. The right lung has three, but the left lung has only two, thus allowing room to accommodate the heart.
Together, the lungs' tissue surface is almost 40 times greater than the body's outer surface, making the lungs (together) one of the largest organs in the body.
Each lung houses a bronchial tree, which gets its name from the intricate network of air passages that supply the lungs with air. The air-filled sacs in the lungs called alveoli resemble grape clusters. White blood cells known as macrophages, located inside each alveolus, ingest and destroy airborne irritants that enter the lungs. After you exhale, the lungs stay partly inflated because of a fluid called surfactant that is produced by special cells and secreted within the alveoli. Surfactant contains fatty proteins and helps to prevent lung infections.
Suffering from a respiratory disorder is one of the most common reasons for doctor visits in industrialized countries, where the air is filled with chemicals, pollutants, dust, pollen, bacteria, and viruses. The billions of microorganisms — bacteria, viruses, and fungi — in the air you breathe can enter the lungs, and they make respiratory infections quite common. Some infections, such as the common cold or sinusitis, affect the upper respiratory tract. Others, such as bronchitis and pneumonia, affect the lower respiratory tract.
Some respiratory disorders are:
- Acute bronchitis: This develops suddenly and can occur as a complication of an upper respiratory tract infection, such as a common cold, usually caused by a virus.
- Pneumonia: Pneumonia causes the smallest parts of the lungs (bronchioles and alveolar tissue) to become inflamed. Pneumonia can be fatal for elderly people, children, and others with lowered or weakened immune systems.
- Asthma: Asthma attacks are caused by constricted airways. Allergic asthma—a type caused by allergens—often develops in childhood. The number of cases of childhood asthma continues to rise.
- Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis is a contagious bacterial infection of the lungs. It continues to be a problem for people living in developing countries.

Mr and Mrs Burns
Christy Turlington and Ed Burns last night at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame… breathtaking Christy. Wow.
Would be a good couple to test my Celebrity Baby Theory on. For those new to the site, the Celebrity Baby Theory works as follows:
Hot + hot = Ugly
Hot + average = Fairly attractive
Average + Average = Hot
Horse face stars + gay husbands = Cute
Hot + Ugly = Ugly
Average + Ugly = Uglier
Ugly + Ugly = Donatella Versace
I'm not going to name the specific children. You know who they are. And I wonder if the gods blew their load creating Christy's face to have anything left over for her kids, you know what I mean? Besides, Cindy Crawford has already cornered the supermodel exception to the theory.
Can the Burns kids escape the formula too?

The Next Wave in BC Craft Beer
It was just over three years ago when I started this blog out of frustration over the lack of craft beer coverage in the mainstream media – virtually none. In fact, they were reporting the decline of beer in favour of wine when I knew it was a generalization that completely overlooked the ferment that was happening in BC amongst the microbreweries and brewpubs. Clearly, the MSM had no idea, given their wine obsession. At the time, craft beer in Vancouver seemed like an underground subculture whose workings were known to a select few. I had started getting the word out through CAMRA Vancouver's newsletter, but needed a means for discussing issues and covering events in more depth than e-mail. The B.C. Beer Blog was born.
2009 Tarnished Plate Awards
Love them or loathe them, the Georgia Straight's Golden Plate Awards are out. Either way, it would be foolish to ignore them. Consider them a gauge of The Straight's readers' preferences. If, as a business, you are targeting that demographic, then the awards will give you an indication of how successful your efforts have been to date. From the perspective of CAMRA Vancouver, it tells us how much more work we still need to do.
On the beer front, this is an opportunity to measure progress since the Best of Vancouver 2008 awards. Although there were fewer categories offered than the Golden Plates, my accompanying article in that edition covered more ground. I was hoping, at least, it made a few people curious to try something other than what they're constantly being bombarded with in advertisements. The results are mixed, but I see some progress being made.
In terms of beer, readers are clearly influenced by advertising. The Local Microbrew category certainly limits the choices (thankfully, there were no daft awards, such as Molson Canadian), but all the beers chosen are actually brewed in Kelowna. The Granville Island beers that are brewed in Vancouver are only their Limited Releases. The majority of people still need to discover R&B and Storm, it seems. Sorry, folks, per a previous post, Steamworks is not a microbrewery; they are a brewpub. Outside of this category, only one craft brewer made the cut — Phillips, which just reinforces what I said in my last post about the need for craft brewers to collaborate.
In the categories of B.C. Beer (brewed outside Vancouver) and Canadian Beer (not B.C.), people have a reading comprehension problem since a number of choices were breweries, not actual beers. I find the import category to be the most disappointing of all. Given all the beers available at the establishments chosen in the Imported Beer Selection category, you would think there would be more of a mixture of choices other than mass-market lager and mass-market Guinness. There is a much greater diversity available here that people are completely missing out on. A visit to Brewery Creek, Firefly, Libations, or Viti would quickly put that to rest.
On the pub front, I see more progress. All the pubs are actual pubs; all the brewpubs are pubs that brew beer for consumption on their own premises (Granville Island Tap House not being a pub). The majority of the chosen pubs also have good beer. I'm heartened by the fact that The Straight's readers do not equate 'best' with the Granville guzzling galleries. On the food side, I don't think enough people have eaten at the Alibi Room. Their commitment to local and seasonal is deserving of attention. Chef Greg Armstrong formerly worked at Habit Lounge, so he's no slouch.
Finally, I'm curious about the inclusion of Fogg N' Suds. Are people voting for them based on reputation? Their beer selection today is nowhere near that of their halcyon days in the mid-eighties. For B.C. beer, no one in the entire province beats the Alibi Room for the quality of their selection — there is simply no crap on tap. For imported beer, I think Fogg N' Suds has been succeeded by Six Acres, the Irish Heather, and Stella's. I wouldn't call Chambar's selection the best from a comprehensive point of view, but it is very good from the perspective of matching their beer with their food, which no one else in Vancouver has done. I'd like to see them replace their gueuze, though, with Oud Beersel. If we can get anyone to import Cantillon, its inclusion would be essential.

Police: Neighbor dispute over trash can led to deadly shooting
Erwin Lynn Jarvis charged in double homicide
Police say an ongoing neighbor dispute over a trash can led to the shooting death of a couple.
Robert Jesse Matheson III, 54, and Genise Miller Matheson, 50, were gunned down in a driveway on Birch Lane in Arden.
Asheville police Sgt. Dave Romick says neighbors called 911 after hearing about 10 gunshots Monday evening.
Police arrested the couple's next-door neighbor, Erwin Lynn Jarvis, 59, at the scene immediately after the shooting.
Investigators said that Jarvis and the Mathesons had been involved in a dispute over a trash can before the shooting.
The Mathesons' 12-year-old son was in their home at the time of the shooting, police said. He was taken into custody by the Department of Social Services. Police have not said if the boy witnessed the shooting.
Jarvis is charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He is being held without bond.
Police records show officers were called to the Matheson's or Jarvis' home more than two dozen times over the past three years.

Small Business Owners Turn to Alternative Lenders
Some small business owners seeking access to capital appear to be shifting away from banks and turning to faster, more flexible alternative lenders. These are typically online companies such as OnDeck or Kabbage that offer financing based more on a business's performance rather than personal credit.
According to a recent SurePayroll survey of small businesses with 1-10 employees, less than half (45 percent) of small business owners plan to use a bank for loans going forward; 36 percent will use alternative lenders; 7 percent will go to friends and family; and 12 percent will use personal credit cards.
This is a strong shift based on our results, as two years ago only 13 percent went to a non-bank lender; 62 percent went to a bank; 14 percent went to friends and family; and 11 percent used personal credit cards.
Now more than ever, small business owners want things to be easy. They want to move swiftly. And in most cases, what used to take weeks or months can now be done almost instantly online.
Approval Rates
According to the latest Biz2Credit Small Business Lending Index, the approval rates at alternative lenders are above 60 percent, three times that of big banks, even as those big banks have steadily increased their approval rates.
Now more than ever, small business owners want things to be easy. They want to move swiftly. And in most cases, what used to take weeks or months can now be done almost instantly online.
If our survey results are any indication, small business owners expect no less from the process of getting a loan.
Why the Alternatives are Attractive
When you look at the websites of alternative lenders, they're slick and easy to use, with slogans like "Business loans without the hurdles" and "Fast, flexible funding at your fingertips." Part of the review process for lenders like these includes nontraditional methods like checking out a business' Yelp page, as opposed to looking just at a credit history.
According to our survey, 86 percent of those small business owners who've used non-bank lenders had a good experience and would use them again.
As a payroll provider catering primarily to small businesses with 1-10 employees, we know that small businesses are using technology and productivity to grow revenues. And 41 percent are telling us they're on pace to beat revenues from 2013.
Hiring, however, has been flat to slightly down for these companies over the past year. These trends indicate that, in the absence of more staff, small business owners are increasing productivity by being fast and flexible, and avoiding hurdles — making things easier. Non-bank lenders are offering that speed and flexibility when it comes to getting a loan.
The Risks
The rub against alternative lenders is that they come at a higher cost. Quick approval for a cash influx usually comes at a steep interest rate. Depending on the size of the loan and the company, borrowers could pay 15-30 percent as an annual rate.
The risks may be higher than taking a loan from a bank, but small business owners are inherently willing to take on risk when they see opportunity. This is what they do — who they are, even.
Whether this trend is good for the financial health of small businesses is for the owners to decide. But the shift is clear: Think easy, online, fast, flexible, mobile. When they're ready to act, small business owners are now expecting their lenders to be ready, too.

I'm sure once upon a time I could go to Sun's website and download a compressed bundle of the complete API documentation, but I've just been looking at Oracle's web and been unable to find one. The individual documents are all there, but no single link to download a local copy. I work with a few browser tabs open constantly on pages from the API docs which are installed on my PC. I'm using the OpenJDK docs installed by the Ubuntu package manager, even though I use the Sun/Oracle JDK and JRE (a habit from the days when the open-source browser plugin / J3D didn't work properly - I'm not even sure whether I still need to do that).
Where do you all get your copies of the API docs from - or do none of you work offline?

We've been waiting on turntable.fm to land on Android for a while now. Well, it's finally here! The music sharing service has been available for a little over a year on desktop machines. The concept is simple: DJs join a room and share songs with an audience that can then vote on whether a song is Awesome or Lame. It's a great concept for sharing music.
The only thing that could make it better is if you could listen to (or DJ!) a room while away from your computer.Read More

Majorca on foot... or by bike
Cycle touring
Hiking in Majorca
Sport, countryside and adventure for all the family... an excellent combination in an exceptional destination: Majorca, the largest of the Balearics. Sounds good, don't you think? Here you will find the key to enjoying the island itself, and sports like hiking and cycling. The tracks and trails of Majorca will take you to inland villages, the Sierra de Tramuntana Mountains and some of the most beautiful coves anywhere in the Mediterranean. Come and discover these alternative routes to the roads: a different way to explore the island.
Each year, more and more people explore Majorca practising their favourite sports: hiking and cycle touring. Why? Two reasons are the island's excellent year-round climate and its incredible variety of landscapes. So don't think twice and get moving. There are many marked trails running to villages, beaches and coves, to the inland plains and even to the region's highest mountains. There are itineraries to suit all tastes, with different levels of difficulty. They can be done by everyone from children to seniors, both on foot or by bike. In general, they are comfortable, fairly flat routes, although there are some which are much more demanding. Choose the one that suits you best and, if you are unsure, head for any of the island's tourist offices, where they will give you detailed information on the different routes, suggesting the most suitable ones and providing leaflets and maps.
Cycle touring
Getting around Majorca on two wheels is easy. In many of the ports and towns there are bike hire shops open all year round so you don't have to bring your own bike along with you. More than half the island's 1,250 kilometres of roads are rural tracks and secondary roads with hardly any traffic. There is a network of fully marked cycle-touring routes with information panels located at points of interest on the way. To avoid getting lost, it is a good idea to keep to the main tracks. If you are looking for easy rides, then choose those around Manacor, Inca, Pollença, Llucmajor, Campos and Alcúdia. If you are more of an expert, you can go for routes of up to 200 kilometres, running through stunning countryside such as the Sierra de Tramuntana Mountains, in the northwest of the island, with climbs to beautiful villages like Valldemossa, Sóller and Lluc.
If you prefer hiking to biking, then you are in luck: Majorca is the perfect destination for you. You can go walking gently as a family, and there are also routes which are much more physically demanding. Choose your own limit. Before starting a route you should bear in mind the following recommendations: take water and food, sun cream, suitable clothing and footwear, a small first aid kit and a mobile phone. The Sierra de Tramuntana Mountains is one of the most attractive areas for walking. Here you will find the highest peak on the Balearic Islands, Puig Major (1,445 metres). Don't forget your camera, because over a short distance you will see everything from rugged mountains to the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea. In these mountains there is a hiking route known as "Piedra en Seco" (dry stone), which is easy and runs west to east, from Andratx to Pollença. The itinerary is divided into eight stages and covers a total of 150 kilometres. Other good options are the Artà-Lluc Route, in the north, which has the GR (long-distance) category, the climb to Ses Ànimes tower in Banyalbufar or, from Andratx, you can cross the Sa Dragonera Nature Reserve. Ready? Then here we go.

SIMSBURY, Conn., April 9 (UPI) -- A Connecticut man was arrested after police found him target shooting with a BB rifle near the route taken by President Obama's motorcade.
The arrest was made Monday while the president was speaking at the University of Hartford, The Hartford Courant reported.
A Simsbury police detective said Joseph Stravinkas was firing the BB rifle at tin cans in a wooded area just off Cottage Grove Road, the route the presidential motorcade traveled Monday to and from Bradley International Airport.
Police Capt. Stephen Hajdasz said Stravinkas, 27, was arrested because he did not cooperate with the detective. He was charged with breach of the peace, threatening and interfering with police.
Secret Service agents questioned Stravinkas after his arrest, Hajdasz said. Stravinkas was described as homeless and told police he was at a friend's house in the neighborhood.
Obama was in Connecticut to talk about gun control.

Looks like the BBC is looking to make a little history today possibly becoming the first traditional TV station to offer all of their programming on demand and over the Internet. That's right, while we're stuck watching YouTube highlights our friends across the pond will soon be running the BBC's new iPlayer service, which lets viewers watch all of the BBC's programs from the previous 7 days and even lets them store shows on their PC for up to 30 days. A final decision approving the service will be made May 2nd. We're jealous.
Thanks, Chris!

I am currently writing my thesis concerned with the analysis and design of data visualizations. For certain use cases my thesis suggests certain visual interpretations (to which I generally refer as visualizations, this being the term used in the academic field).
One of my chapters eventually introduces these proposed visualizations, and I am wondering about the chapter's title:
- Visualization Proposals
- Visualization Suggestions
Both come to mind, and I am unsure as to the exact difference in the meaning (or how they feel).
Could someone elaborate on the difference of the two words in the above context? Many thanks in advance.

This brought financial closure for 634MW of projects, while a second bidding window added 562MW to the pipeline. Continuing political unrest in North Africa and the Middle East is bringing further uncertainty to a number of countries, but Morocco remains a major market.
Up to now development in the region has largely been the preserve of state entities or small, local developers, as in the case of Kenya's 300MW Lake Turkana project.
A clear policy and firm government backing in South Africa is serving to open up its market. Projects selected in the first round of the REIPPP mostly belonged to local developers who had been pursuing their projects for some years. However, the second round saw more large, foreign-owned utilities and developers, such as EDF Energies Nouvelles (EDF EN) and GDF Suez, buying into what promises to be a relatively large and stable market.
The two developers are now also present in Morocco, where EDF EN in partnership with Mitsui were awarded a 150MW project at Taza, and GDF Suez has 300MW in the pipeline with local conglomerate Nareva at Tarfaya. Given the lack of maturity in the rest of the region, however, it is unlikely that this trend will be seen elsewhere in the foreseeable future.

What is 1114 lb cold press watercolor paper? Is this the same as 140?- Asked by Susan Hebert on 04-Feb-13
Cold press is the process of pressing paper through rollers at the end of papermaking. This will smooth the surface for printing and writing but still leaves some texture. The weight of the paper in pounds refers to the thickness of paper based on 500 sheets of paper. So 1114 lb cold press would be much heavier than 140 lb cold press paper, and heavier normally means a higher quality when it comes to watercolor paper specifically.- Answered by MisterArt on 05-Feb-13
I drew on the back of Arches watercolor paper before I stretched it. Do I have to start again?- Asked by Sandy on 20-Jan-13
I don't think you need to start over, but it depends on how your drew on it. The 140-pound paper should be stretched before you draw or paint on it. Heavier papers don't normally need to be stretched, but people do stretch them.- Answered by MisterArt on 24-Jan-13

Your Future Home
Though a Jetsons-esque house in which Rosie the Robot cheerfully pampers happy humans isn't real life, experts say the next decade holds tremendous promise in terms of tech-driven innovations to make family homes smarter, cheaper to run and more fun to live in. Join us for a tour.
It's morning, a decade or so from now. As you brush your teeth, a tap on the bathroom mirror brings up your calendar. The old ritual of sitting down to open a laptop will be unnecessary, because as computers get smaller and screens get more flexible, alternatives will be everywhere. Many flat surfaces in your home could feasibly be interactive, according to Steve Clayton, editor of the Next at Microsoft blog. Windows, walls, even appliances will be "smart," sporting a computer brain and a connection to the Internet. When a question comes to mind — "Is school closed today because of the storm?" — you'll ask it aloud. The house (or, rather, a voice-activated chip hidden in the wall) will answer.
And that's just the beginning. For instance, forget about fumbling around for your keys multiple times per day, or worse, losing them altogether. When you get home, a camera in the door will recognize your face and open the lock. Said door will let your dog in and out, but not the neighbor's cat. It might even keep your teen daughter from bringing in a cute boy after school if you don't want her to. If she shows up, shall we say, accompanied, the house will send you a text message so that you're instantly aware and can take whatever action you deem necessary.
Beyond convenience and monitoring, your casa could anticipate comfort cravings as well. Without any prompting, the shades may open when it's time to get up. Tunes might blast when you need to roust the kids out of bed for school. If the interior temperature inches above comfortable, a roof panel could slide closed to dim the sun's glare and open the windows to encourage airflow, reducing your heating and air bill in the bargain. Come nighttime, automatically dimmed lights and soft music can help everyone relax.
Naysayers, take heed — this isn't too good to be true. In fact, researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute have already built a model home, called Lumenhaus, with these functionalities. Solar cells on the roof move to track the sun's motion across the sky, drawing energy to power the home. Insulated panels on the exterior slide open to let in sunlight as a wake-up call and close when the temperature drops at night or when you've programmed a bedtime.
According to Robert Dunay, director of the center for design research at Virginia Tech's College of Architecture and Urban Studies, this is called responsive architecture, meaning the house responds to the weather and your habits, says Dunay. You can override any undesired actions with an app. (Flashback to the hilarious Modern Family episode when Phil spent the day connecting the house to his iPad.)
Next on the wish list: a kitchen that cooks dinner and a machine to whip through mountains of laundry. The researchers behind the current crop of appliances are working on it.
Let's say you stop at the supermarket on the way home. A sale on filet mignon prompts the question of whether you need potatoes to whip up your favorite steak dinner. Right now, this requires a guess (or a call home, if someone is there to pick up). In the future, you'll ask an app on your phone to check the fridge. Once you've settled on a meal plan, the app will alert the kitchen to get ready to cook, preheating the oven and programming in your recipe.
Most of the groundwork for this scenario is already in place. Grocery stores use bar codes to track inventory and ring you up at the register. You can use a smartphone app to scan these bar codes and track what's in your kitchen right now. But the really cool stuff will happen when grocers replace bar codes with RFID (radio frequency identification) tags, which emit a radio signal that can be read at short distances. You could simply walk out of the store with your items, and an RFID scanner near the exit would read the tags and charge your credit card for what's in your cart.
Adding an RFID scanner to a fridge would make knowing what's inside easy.
In fact, RFID-enabled refrigerators are already used by medical labs to track the age of biological samples. The tags are still too expensive to stick on every loaf of bread or jar of peanut butter. But the cost is dropping quickly and the change is coming.
Better still, once the fridge and stove are Web connected, they can collaborate on dinner while you catch up with the kids. All you'll have to do is move the ingredients from the fridge to the oven.
Put your assembled frozen fixings into GE's new Profile Advantium, for instance, and it will defrost them via microwave, then roast and grill with a combination of halogen lights and microwave energy, cooking up to eight times faster than a conventional oven. Upgrading that smart oven so it can take directions from a phone app or the fridge is just a matter of connecting everything.
Courtesy of that connectivity, when the fridge light is burnt out and the HVAC needs new filters, they'll connect to the Internet and order parts. They might even download the instructions for manufacturing them to the 3-D printer in the garage. Yes, really. Machines that can print simple toys, like MakerBot's $2,200 Replicator 2, are already here. These machines will only get cheaper and more sophisticated, says Gerardo Menegaz, chief architect for IBM Global Technology Services. Using a 3-D printer to manufacture our own dishes, appliance parts or other custom creations is just a matter of time.
On the laundry frontier, well, washing clothes is apparently still a little too complicated for true automation. However, those same RFID tags that are coming to groceries might also be sewn into garments. As clothes hit the washer, it will scan those tags for instructions and sound a warning if, for example, something red is about to turn all the whites pink or a dry-clean-only item slipped in. Or waterless washing closets could steam clean clothes after you hang them up, says Kurt Jovais, VP of Home Appliances for Samsung.
In our minds, all this potential boils down to three words that have never rung more true: home sweet home.
The Ultimate Home Makeover
Current thinking. Solar panels on the roof, wind turbines in the yard and hydrogen fuel cells in the basement will provide alternatives to old-fashioned electricity and afford more control over the utility bill.
Keyless entry. A camera embedded in the door will let your dog in and out, but not the neighbor's cat.
Pull up a chair. Lounge chairs could also be "smart," sporting a computer brain and constant Internet connection.
24/7 comfort. Shades will stay shut until it's time to wake up, then open to let in light.
Window dressing. Microsoft is developing "magic windows" that become interactive displays with the tap of a finger.
DIY 3-D. Researchers are working on in-home 3-D printers able to layer multiple materials into a single object.
The self-aware fridge. Soon, standing in the supermarket wondering whether you have fresh fruit in your refrigerator will be a thing of the past — an app on your smartphone will simply "ask" the fridge. You may even get a suggested recipe to use up items nearing expiration.

Music, exhibitions, competitions, fun, sun, sand... FIn July, Benicàssim, on the Castellón coast, becomes one of Spain and Europe's most lively venues thanks to FIB: the Benicàssim International Festival. Thousands of people make for this Mediterranean destination to enjoy a festival that has crossed frontiers to become a highly-rated event on the international music panorama.
Boredom is forbidden. With this in mind, every summer thousands of fibers from all over the world flood the streets of Benicàssim, just 12 kilometres from the city of Castellón, in the heart of the Costa del Azahar. Over several days you can enjoy an innovative, up to date programme that includes top artists on the international scene, playing live on the various stages and tents in the 100,000 square metre site of FIB. This is an event not to be missed by music fans.
FIB goes much further than its musical programme, however. Competitions (such as Proyecto Demo or Un-Pop Classik), dance shows, theatre (FIB-actúa), courses for cultural expansion, exhibitions of contemporary art (FIB-Art) and shorts (FIB International Shorts Festival) are other artistic disciplines to be found at an event which, furthermore, serves as a platform for expression and as a launch pad for new and young talent. This creative climate can be found throughout the town, which gets fully involved in this event whose following grows from year to year, and where good atmosphere, tolerance and camaraderie reign above all.
This unique atmosphere is especially apparent in the festival's camping areas. This is where the fibers rest and recover their strength, albeit for just a few hours. Furthermore, the FIB site also has a market where you can find records, clothes, accessories, hairdressing, tattoos, body piercing and restaurants, as well as health care stations.
This is just one part of what Benicàssim has to offer during FIB. Make the most of your visit to FIB and discover a destination whose main protagonists are endless beaches, sunshine, good weather and a host of leisure options. This is, without doubt, a unique experience not to be missed.

Release Date: 2013 |
Album Rating: 3.5meh
While I believe Returnof4Eva to be a classic, Krit has become dishearteningly workmanlike ever sense.
think this is my 2nd favorite krit tape
Digging: Viral Load - Brutalized Beyond Belief
Album Rating: 3.5havent listened to this yet but all his shit is 3-3.5 for me
Album Rating: 3.5damn this is pretty awesome
might be his best since Returnof4eva
Digging: Haunt (USA-CA) - Mind Freeze
Album Rating: 3.5pretty sure we're musical soul mates oltna just sayin
agreed again
pre sure everything you say i can agree with XD
Album Rating: 3.5last.fm concurs
def added you
more like big S.H.I.T.
Album Rating: 4.0Mixtape is damn good, still waiting for Country Cousins though
Album Rating: 3.5god damn this just never relents with the awesomeness
could see this becoming my favorite release from him. or maybe it's the booze talking. but either way, fucking killer.
the beats on this are killer
Album Rating: 3.5yeah I think he's really coming into his own as a producer
he always had a great sense of composition and melody, but outside of Returnof4eva he didn't have a firm grasp on the post-production piece
its a really good mixtape, but i do think Krit will only keep refining his sound instead of doing something truly different.
i actually liked the production on 4eva in a day
Album Rating: 3.5yeah actually I would agree, the mix on that one is good. the beats are alright to me, but a little by the numbers for him to a certain extent. still overall better than Live From the Underground probably. That one pisses me off because half the tracks distort/clip hard
his album is easily his worst
Album Rating: 3.5like 4-5 great songs (and only a couple of those had the proper EQ), the rest was basically filler
Bands: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Dolce & Gabbana Smooth Eye Colour Quad Fabulous
It contains a fresh shimmery mint green, a slightly frosty pink, a shimmery smoky blue grey and a brown with very slight micro glitter which does not really translate on the skin on application.
Although initially hesitant I do think all the colours work together, the two lighter ones are a tad too frosty for me but overall I do like the whole look.
The shadows feel very creamy and blend nicely although I have to wear an eye primer to get them to last the day.
Here is a picture of the D&G mystery duo I reviewed a few weeks back, just to show you how the colours look when applied.
The quad cost £36.50 and I bought it from Harrods which I think is the only place you can get the brand from the UK.
From what I have bought so far I would say the photos on the Harrods site are realistic for the eye shadows.

I'm not grabbed by D&G. I have a few bits, but I just don't reach for it. This quad does look nice - it reminds me a bit of the Chanel Garden Party quad from a couple of years ago.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous19 January 2011 at 12:43
These are very subtle colours - love the sort of duochrome effect in both pics. Wasted on me but can admire it on others. Thankyou. Jan xReplyDelete
Do you ever get the feeling that the D&G quads are a little off? I mean the duo's are great and the colors are always good, but to me they always miss the mark on the quads. Like the color combo's aren't put together well. Am I alone on this thought?ReplyDelete
The quad colours look pretty and as ever I can't help but admire your eye looks. The brand just doesn't seem to appeal to me, I remember having a quick look in Selfridges but nothing called to me.ReplyDelete
Jane x
I like the way you have blended the colours - very pretty and I like the way they subtlely merge on the eyes. The only thing I have gotten more into from D&G is the nail polish, I haven't really been taken enough by some of the other products to purchase yet.ReplyDelete
This quad is lovely on you! The colors don't appeal to me either, but I do like the Stromboli duo even though it's very neutral.ReplyDelete
This look is gorgeous on you and your skills are amazing! Love it!ReplyDelete
Very pretty looks, both. I like the texture of D&G shadows. I have Mystery as well :)ReplyDelete
Hi Grace,ReplyDelete
I know what you mean, I feel I should like the items more than I do. I guess its not really a "me" brand x
Hi Jan,
Duochrome is a good word for it, although I wonder that I might be like you as I do think these would look better on someone else rather than me x
Hi Diane,
I think you are right, I can't work out some of them, I think that is why people aren't that drawn to them, shame they don't do pans and palettes so you could create your own palette of colours :)
Hi Jane,
I think there are better brands out there, I do wonder if the line will last that long to be honest x
Hi Meeta,
Thanks! I have heard good things about the polish, do you have a favourite shade?
Hello Joolz,
Thank you, you know going by the comments I think the majority of us are a bit unsure about their colour combos :)
Hi Jeanie,
Your are too kind, you know once I uploaded these pictures I thought they looked really unblended and messy so its nice to hear you like it :)
Hi Makeup Magpie,
Well, what great taste we have ;) Thank you, I do like the texture of the shadows, I wasn't sold really on the lipstick I got from them though.
Wow, you did a really amazing job with this! I love the way these colours look on you!ReplyDelete
I love love love your eyes in the second picture. Pink doesnt work for a lot of people but it looks awesome on you!ReplyDelete
Hi Emily,ReplyDelete
Thank you so much :)
Hi FunnyFaceBeauty,
Thanks, I know what you mean about pinky toned shadows, many a time I have had them look really bad on me :)
Why did you have to make me go and look at the new NARS!!! Wahhhh!! I want the ones you've mentioned plus I want to see the lipstick and blue duo in the flesh. It's not going to be out in store for another week and a half/two weeks apparently.ReplyDelete
As well as all that I want the Chanel Ombrees Perlees, the spring Guerlain palette not to mention a Touche Veloutee and string of other skincare. Purse, get ready for a hammering!!
Hi Jane,ReplyDelete
well I thought it would be rude not to share ;P good, I'm glad you have now added to the spring want list shame. I don't know how we are going to afford all of this quite frankly, still you know I am not good with waiting so I probably end up buying it all and can tell you what to skip so you can buy more wisely!
I got my new EB lipsticks, not tried yet, will try to post over weekend.
I need to buy another Touche Veloutee but wondered whehter to get the blue one instead as I think that is the newer improved one? x
I agree, the colours definitely do work together. Great look =DReplyDelete
Hi Imo,ReplyDelete
Thanks, they have a duo in their spring collection that I have my eye on :)
My favourite is the one I have posted about Rose 120 - still one of my favourites pink shades, love the gold tone in this. There is a swampy green/gold colour which looks nice too. I may get this next although trying not to splurge too much on nail polish.ReplyDelete
Hi Meeta,ReplyDelete
That 120 is really pretty. I do like the look of the one they have out for Spring going by the pics I have seen, sort of a green/grey/silver metallic.

Tsunami, Earthquake and Static Discharge in the UK, no it is not the comeback album from the Sex Pistols. But, it is a strange series of events in the UK. Mostly its strange because of the reports of large build ups of static electricity during the Tsunami. To make it even more strange, now there has been a follow on 3.9 earthquake in the region.
Reports have blamed the static on changes in air pressure; that's a very dubious explanation given that static IN THE WATER made the fish jump out of the water. The Tsunami was also conjectured to have been caused by an underwater land slide; But underwater landslides don't generate static on that scale. However it is possible for geological-scale static to move water and potentially cause a mini-tsunami. A James Bond level villian might even be able to create such an effect; but given the scale of such an effort, it seems less than economically plausible.
So what gives? Possible rapid magma movement, that certainly would help explain today's 3.9 earthquake. But it might also portend a volcano in the making in the Channel. Lets hope not.
