Some time ago I started going to a local gluten-free support group. I went not because I necessarily thought I needed help figuring out the gluten-free diet (although I've learned a lot from my fellow members), but because I thought it would be fun to get together and socialize with other people that shared the same gluten-free lifestyle. It turned out to be a great idea, and a social event that I thoroughly enjoy. We generally have a big potluck at someone's house- usually with a theme- and talk and stuff ourselves silly. This last meeting had a "luncheon" theme and I decided to make quiche. That was well and good, but a traditional quiche contains dairy and a fair number of our members have multiple intolerances including dairy. I decided to make allergen-friendly alternatives for those who could have egg, but couldn't have dairy or soy. (Unfortunately those who can't have egg also can't have soy, or I might have made a tofu-vegan quiche as well.) The pie crust I used for the traditional quiche recipe contained dairy and potato starch (another allergen for some members), so that was out. I considered making my standard dairy-free chebe crust, but I wanted to have a base that contributed a flavor element as well as a texture. I ended up deciding to do a creative riff on my green chili crustless quiche, using South American inspired flavors of chili and tomato- and thus, a corn polenta crust, almost like an open tamale, came to mind.
I made one quiche with a vegan (dairy-free) sundried tomato pesto topping inspired by Vegan with a Vengeance, and then in case the nuts in the pesto made the quiche off limits for anyone, I also topped some of my quiche with simple but beautiful slow-roasted tomatoes and/or fresh cilantro leaves. The results were lovely, tasty, and allergen-friendly, and my friends with multiple intolerances seemed to thoroughly enjoy them. Trying to cook for these friends has really taught me a lot about creative baking with limited ingredients- and I enjoy the challenge as well as the results! Enjoy! And if you haven't looked into joining a support group in your area- I highly recommend it.
Here's one of the nut-free quiche, topped with lovely slow-roasted grape tomatoes, corn, and garnished with oregano.
Vegetarian Dairy free green chili quiche recipe
1 onion, diced
2 tsp. olive oil
Grits/ Polenta Base:
Quiche Base:
B) Slow Roasted baby tomatoes
C) Fresh Cilantro in Olive oil
Prepare a muffin tin with (or without) liners, greasing with spectrum shortening or your favorite dairy-free margarine if you are not using liners.
Sautee 1 diced onion in a nonstick pan in olive oil until translucent and remove from burner, reserving in two parts for base and quiche.
Polenta Base:
Topping Directions:
After done, cool COMPLETELY before removing from pan. Enjoy!
Made to accommodate complex allergies of friends at local GF potluck.
*Polenta note: I used 2 cups water, but the polenta was softer than I would have liked. I would experiment and try this with 1 cup water instead and add more as needed.

Hall excitement robs Glavine of usual eloquence
NEW YORK -- How many times have we heard a player use the crutch "It hasn't sunk in yet"? Sounds all right. Sounds authentic. Sounds acceptable to those whose workday is complete once a sound bite has been obtained. And it beats silence. I've always thought it was a copout, though, a way of saying something that is akin to saying nothing. Usually, when athletes prefer not to share their feelings, they say they have none and probably won't for a few days -- whenever those feelings sink in.
Tom Glavine never has been that sort of athlete. He always had something to say, usually something based in wisdom and truth and delivered with a level of eloquence not often heard in clubhouses of any game. Whether he was speaking publicly as the National League rep for the players' union or as a member of the Braves or the Mets or as a man approaching the 19th hole, he delivered.
Glavine was a go-to guy for reporters, columnists and those in pursuit of sound bites. Any reporters with a sense of what they had just witnessed wanted Glavine's take on it. At times we wore him out, but he seldom declined to provide insights others couldn't or were unwilling to provide.
So it was almost startling to hear Glavine speak in the hours following the announcement of his election to the Hall of Fame on Wednesday afternoon, and to hear him speak at a Hall of Fame news conference in Manhattan on Thursday morning. He seemed off balance, uncertain, almost guarded.
"I'm not sure how I feel," Glavine said at one point on Wednesday.
Of course, he was delighted by the developments of the day and the prospect of being inducted to the Hall with two of his favorite people, former teammate Greg Maddux and ex-manager Bobby Cox, come July 27. But Glavine spoke almost in a monotone. The spontaneity that was usually part of the conversation of this intelligent and confident man was missing.
"You don't sound like you," he was told during his Cooperstown conference call on Wednesday.
But then, during another hectic hour on Thursday morning, Glavine quietly explained himself.
"This is such a great thing," he said, emphasizing the word such. "It's what, I guess, I expected. I knew I had a good chance. But I guess I wasn't ready for it, not as ready as I thought I was. I wasn't prepared to feel the way I do. I don't know, even now I'm not sure it has sunk in yet."
Glavine promised that he was concealing nothing. He merely was unsure of the full impact of Hall of Fame election. His life has changed to a degree. His identity has changed dramatically. His name has been lengthened, to Hall of Famer Tom Glavine.
The clubhouse-born contraction, Glav, no longer suffices, nor does Tom. Now, when he accommodates the folks who seek his signature on a baseball, he almost is obligated to include the monogram he has earned, HOF.
Until Wednesday night, Glavine had declined to include that now-permanent suffix. About 90 minutes after he had gained his 300th career victory, on Aug. 5, 2007, in a Mets game at Wrigley Field, he was approached in the clubhouse by two boys who were quite satisfied with a simple signature. Their father asked for the "HOF" addendum.
"Not yet," Glavine said. "It wouldn't be appropriate."
Glavine wasn't worried about jinxing his Hall of Fame candidacy. He knew the credentials he had created at that point of what became a 22-year career would open all doors in Cooperstown. He declined because it was the proper response.
David Wright was apprised of that anecdote two days later -- David Wright, who lives his life by a code similar to Glavine's.
"Would you expect Tom to do anything else?" Wright said. "I have so much respect for him. You can learn a lot about being a good person and being a professional by watching Tom Glavine."
Glavine said on Thursday that he'd been right to decline, but also said, "I told each of the people who asked to come back if they could. I'll be happy to add the H-O-F now."
Happy and so proud. Glavine knows what it takes to gain election, and he understands the specialty of an election in the first year on the ballot. He wanted that. He knows how proud he has made his family. His father had a great appreciation for another left-handed Braves pitcher, Warren Spahn, also elected in his first year, with a percentage almost nine points lower than Glavine's 91.9.
A family headline: "Tommy outpolls Spahnie."
Glavine knows how difficult it had been to succeed without great stuff, without greater-than-average velocity.
"When you see guys like myself and Greg able to have the success we've had -- not only not being imposing figures physically, but certainly not imposing in terms of our velocity -- I think it gives hope to kids that, 'Hey, I have a chance, even though I may not be the hardest-throwing kid on my team,'" Glavine said.
A sincere thought from a sincere man.
At times as Glavine was speaking on Thursday and not necessarily focused on anything in particular, there was a sense that he was reviewing how he'd come to be standing in the Waldorf Astoria in New York, wearing a Hall of Fame jersey on a Hall of Fame day.
"My daydreams have been a little different since I got the call," he said.
The first two days of the experience, an experience that only 210 other players have had, had begun to sink in. Glavine acknowledged as much as his normal self began to reappear. He was reminded that, for as long as the Hall stands and as long as baseball followers measure excellence in the game, he will be identified as one of the elite. Glavine's face cracked a bit.
"Yeah," he said to that after taking a breath.

wecare needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 71 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
We Care Dental
Our logo should be ;
2 colors
relative to other designs, the logo should show up better when we fax or copy it
Give a warm feeling since dentistry is a family oriented business
Should not have:
Not have any teeth, or toothbrushes, or floss etc in it
we do not have a website so dont use any of the other we care dental businesses as a reference. They just have the same name as us, but we are not affliated with any of them.
We've been around for more then 10 years. So if the logo can instill a sense of experience, trust, care that would be great. But I realize that is expecting a lot from a logo. So I guess be creative but professional
Please see notes above.
Going to be using this design on office stationary, eventually a website, etc
Thank You,

Ronald Wilson Reagan was a 20th century Human politician who served as President of the United States of America.
An image of him was among several historical images seen by Daniels and Archer in the time stream as the timeline reorganized itself. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")
|Selected Presidents of the United States of America
|George Washington (1789) • Andrew Jackson (1829) • Abraham Lincoln (1861) • Ulysses S. Grant (1869) • Theodore Roosevelt (1901) • Woodrow Wilson (1913) • Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933) • Harry S.

Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
He was the 40th president and served from 1981 until 1989. Before entering politics, he was a Hollywood actor, whose credits include Kings Row (1942, with Dame Judith Anderson), Cattle Queen of Montana (1954, with Anthony Caruso), Tennessee's Partner (1955, appearing again with Caruso) and The Killers (1964, written by Gene L. Coon and co-starring Seymour Cassel). In addition, Whit Bissell, Skip Homeier and Dean Stockwell made appearances on General Electric Theater, a Sunday night anthology series hosted by Reagan from 1954 to 1962.
Ronald Reagan wrote in his diary on 23 June 1984, "After dinner we ran Star Trek III. It wasn't too good." [1]
Reagan (then former president) visited the Paramount Pictures studios in 1991 during the shooting of "Redemption". [2](X) Although unfamiliar with most of Star Trek, he did enjoy meeting Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner and the many Klingon background performers hired for the episode. Later, when asked about the Klingons, he said "I like them. They remind me of Congress." During the tour through the sets including the Great Hall, an ailing Gene Roddenberry dropped his cane. The former president graciously knelt and retrieved it for him. Reagan later quipped, "I felt as if I had been knighted." ("Intergalactic Guest Stars" ("Presidential Visit: Ronald Reagan", TNG Season 5 DVD special feature)
The script of "First Contact" describes Malcorian Chancellor Avel Durken as "in his fifties, slight in stature, no Ronald Reagan here, there is a gentle, Woodrow Wilson quality, thoughtful, brilliant, committed."
Ron D. Moore once joked that one of the ships that cleaned out waste extraction from Deep Space 9 on a weekly basis was called the Reagan. (AOL chat, 1997)

To Celebrate "I Have a Dream," 9 modern socially conscious songs
08.29.2013 | By Mariana Dussan | No Comments">No Comments
THIS WEEK was the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. The American clergyman and activist delivered the speech in 1963, during the civil rights movement, at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in front of more than 250,000 people. In the speech King demanded the end of racism in the United States saying: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
At present, our country still faces many problems of equality, violence and even lack of self-love, but thankfully music is at the forefront bringing these issues to light and pushing for change. In celebration of King's inspirational words we bring you nine socially conscious songs of today. From hip-pop, to punk, to pop, take a listen to these artists' messages. Read More

[Video below.] "There is God in everything. Even basketball." When Aaron Liberman said that, endless legs splayed out in front of him on a Sunday morning in late December, he didn't know how true his words would be.
Just days later, the Valley Torah senior center was sent sprawling four times in a basketball game against league opponent New Community Jewish High School on Jan. 8. He sustained a punctured lung.
There was God in his rapid recovery.
Three weeks later, Liberman, a lanky 6-foot-9, returned to lead the Wolfpack, reeling from consecutive losses, to recapture the Westside League title and clinch the top seed in the California Interscholastic Federation Division 6AA basketball championship tournament.
Now Liberman and 22-4 Valley Torah, the No. 2 team in the national Jewish basketball team rankings, are playing for the title.
Averaging 18 points, 11.3 rebounds and 8.8 blocks per game – and a 3.4 grade point average across his Judaic and secular studies – Liberman has earned interest from Ivy League and basketball schools alike, including Yale and Dartmouth, Boston College and Pepperdine.
However, many collegiate basketball games would conflict with Liberman's Shabbat observance.
"My religion is important to me, and so is basketball," he said.
"He'll have a decision to make," said Lenard Liberman, Aaron's father. "A lot happens between now and when he'll start college. I think it's about getting into the right program with the right coach."
Lenard Liberman, a Stanford alumnus, would like his son to consider the Cardinal.
"They said, 'Gain 50 pounds and we'll talk to you,' " Lenard Liberman said of his own attempt to walk on to Stanford's basketball team some two decades ago. "So Aaron's living my dream in a lot of ways. He's much better than I was as a basketball player, and he's a great student. He can do great things with that."
Aaron Liberman, 18, said he's looking at universities' academics before athletics.
"I'm using basketball to get into an academic school instead of a basketball-focused school," said Liberman, who hopes to major in economics or political science, earn an MBA and join his father's broadcasting business, Liberman Media.
Valley Torah basketball coach Robert Icart also mentors Liberman on his Amateur Athletic Union team, BTI, and has a history of helping smart basketball players make their way to universities known for both academics and athletics.
Icart, who counts former Harvard point guard Drew Housman and current UCLA center Anthony Stover among the players he's developed, appreciates Liberman's unwillingness to compromise academics for athletics and praises Liberman's ability.
"He's an unbelievable shot blocker with incredible wingspan and timing," Icart said. He added that Liberman must, however, further develop his ball-handling skills so he can "snatch rebounds, go coast-to-coast and finish," as well as his outside shooting to be a more complete player at the collegiate level.
Although he's a post player in high school, at the next level Liberman likely will transition to a combo forward with the potential to create match-up problems for opponents.
But his opponents will have to wait a year to face him on the court.
Liberman, along with many of his fellow Valley Torah seniors, will be going to Israel for a year. He hopes to continue learning about his faith while there, and work out with the Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball club.
Liberman's mother, Sara, a former Israeli sprinter, supports her son's athletic endeavors.
"I know Aaron's always loved the game, and I've loved seeing him enjoy it and improve," she said.
Liberman credits his upbringing with instilling in him the desire to succeed.
"To be really good at basketball you have to have a drive," he said. In August, he spent four to five hours at the gym nearly every day working on his game. "It takes commitment as well as physical ability."
His work ethic is a distinguishing quality. His school day lasts from 7:45 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. He starts his homework before practice at 7:30 p.m. After practice, which ends around 10 or 11 p.m., he finishes his homework. He's in bed by midnight or 1 a.m. Then he wakes up at 7 a.m. and his day begins again.
"Aaron's the first at practice and the last to leave. He's very disciplined. Nathaniel's the same way," said Icart, referring to Liberman's younger brother, a sophomore guard at Valley Torah averaging 13.2 points and 2.4 steals per game.
Aaron Liberman is hoping his hard work and faith will win the Division 6AA championship against Bishop Diego March 5 at Mater Dei High in Santa Ana.
"I see God in everything in life. He has the power to do anything," Liberman said.
Including bringing the first boys' basketball title to Valley Torah.

Why Taking ADHD Drugs Won't Boost Your Grades
Millions of children and college students take medication to treat ADHD and to help them perform better in school. But there isn't great evidence to suggest that these drugs actually improve academic outcomes. Shirley Wang reports on the News Hub.

Guy Edwards needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 74 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
We are a group of Exercise and movement coaches and nutritionists, looking to add a valuable health & fitness education to the exercising public.
We are looking for an up to date image that expresses our commitment to making exercise and health interesting and fun, sexy and for everyone! Without gyms and huge amounts of equipment just some space and a few simple tools. Such as the kettlebell!
Target audience is both males and females. Many of the competition seem to advertise for the powerlifter, bearded solider look. We wish to avoid that. Making it equally appealing to women of all ages as to men. We wish to appeal to individuals wishing to tone up lose weight and get faster, leaner & stronger.
This will come from an audience wishing to begin exercise and also who already exercise but want to try a new type of exercise.
Looking for a simple symbol or emblem. Involving a kettlebell, and perhaps a man and woman in a kettlebell snatch position.(Google search the position) which is holding a kettlebell overhead with one arm. This can be in silhouette or real image, whichever looks best and most fresh.
The kettlebell can be either the central focus or simply a partial focus, held in the hand of the models.
The bodies should be toned and attractive, with some muscle tone. But not o the point of musclebound. We are looking for a medium build/athletic.
The colours should be mainly blue, kettlebell black. But we are open to suggestions if the look is correct. You are free to be creative in all aspects.

PlayStation 4 Camera Videos Showcase Amazing Augmented Reality Experiments
These videos of AR technology hint at a whole new level of interaction between players and the cameras of their gaming consoles.
Polygon has brought us a pair of videos from the official PlayStation Japan blog that show-off some augmented reality experiments that Sony conducted with the PS4 and its popular camera peripheral. In the first video, a user holds up a white card that the PS4 camera recognizes, scans and displays on the television screen as a virtual cube holding water. The cube itself demonstrates a viscous depiction of fluidity, where the liquid actually rocks back and forth as the user's hand sways. As the user holds up a second white card with his other hand, the screen displays an empty cube. The user was then able to turn the first card sideways, which resulted in him carefully pouring the liquid from the filled cube to the empty one, with the liquid being poured as some spills onto the ground. While the graphics of the cubes and liquid were rather simply, the actual mechanics of what was happening looked wonderful.
The accompanying video depicts the PS4's AR dynamic lighting. As a pixelated, yet realistic, dinosaur is digitally portrayed on the carpet in front of the system, television and camera, the user is shining a flashlight back and forth throughout the room. When the light passed over the virtual dinosaur, the figure was accurately illuminated and shone different aspects of brightness in response to where the moving source of light was coming from and where it was going. The same process was then done with an anime-inspired image of a female.
The results of both of these videos were absolutely groundbreaking compared to current implementations of gaming console camera technology and reflect a unique approach to augmented reality. There is also an AR trading card recognition system being developed as well, similar to the process that the Nintendo 3DS and Xbox One use.

Ted Wells, the investigator appointed by the NFL to investigate the alleged harassment in the workplace that resulted in Dolphins offensive lineman Jonathan Martin leaving the team and fellow offensive lineman Richie Incognito getting suspended, has released a statement saying the Dolphins are cooperating as he prepares to interview team personnel.
"We look forward to meeting with Dolphins players, coaches and staff in order to get the facts and prepare a thorough and fair report," Wells said. "The Dolphins organization has been very helpful in arranging the interviews and urging their personnel to cooperate with the investigation. We have asked all Dolphins personnel to respect the process and avoid commenting on the investigation."
For the Dolphins' coaching staff and front office, the last part of that statement may be the most important: Coach Joe Philbin, General Manager Jeff Ireland and others in the organization don't want to talk to the media about the situation, and Wells's statement gives them cover to say, "We can't comment while the investigation is in progress."
We likely won't find out exactly what Philbin and Ireland think of this situation until Wells releases his report.

Small to medium sized businesses. They could be new to the web, or they could solely be a web-based service.
We just want a cool business card. Something different than the traditional white paper business card. Maybe a bit of gloss or a matte lamination, rounded edges, and a color that will stick out to people when they go through all of the business cards they recently received.
We want something on both sides of the card, maybe a functional diagram of how we work on the back, and we want this card to pop out.
Our diagram is on our website: http://www.retargeter.com

Bad Science Fridays!
Feb. 1, "Astrology," ever wonder why the horoscopes in the newspaper sometimes seem so eerily accurate? It's got less to do with the stars and more to do with human psychology. March 1, "No Quick Fix," lots of people like to advertise quick fixes for anything that ails you. Magnets? Little bracelets? Different kinds of psychic surgery? Try some of them out and discover if they really work as advertised. April 5, "Ancient Aliens," who build the pyramids? Did aliens help? Probably not! Come learn about the techniques used to build ancient structures. They didn't need aliens to do it! May 3, "Perpetual Motion Machines," the world dreams of a source of free energy: something that generates more power than it uses. For centuries people have built machines that they claimed broke the laws of physics in just that way? Do they work? Come find out! June 7, "Dowsing and Dead People," ever heard of the ideomotor effect? If not, that's okay, lots of people haven't. But it's incredibly powerful and can even make you think you're talking to dead people or sensing treasure with your mind! July 5, "Homeopathic Remedies," homeopathic medicine is all over the place. But what exactly is it? How do they make their medicines? And more importantly, is there sound science behind it? Aug. 2, "Popular Science," sometimes it's hard to tell good science from bad science when you hear about it on TV or on the internet. Judge some science and see how well you do!

I obviously need an obi but have decided to keep a cool head and buy a cheapy as i've gone wild recently, so my plans for an xpander have gone on ice.
Matrix 6 or Matrix 1000? They seem to go for similar money, give or take a £100.
I heard that the 6's voices aren;t tied to the same clock so it can sound richer, but with an interface like that it's not going to be much easier to programme than the 1000 via a SW editor is it? Having said that i'd probably use it as a back up to other programmable stuff i've got so maybe i can live with, dare i say it, the presets (strike me down!) if they do it justice...
Any advice appreciated - i've never owned or played an Obi but I know i need one!

Grupo BTG Pactual, the Brazilian investment bank founded by billionaire Andre Esteves, is working on a bid for JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s physical commodities business, said a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
BTG is in the early stages of reviewing the financial information, said the person, who requested anonymity because the process is private and didn't specify how big the offer will be. Brian Marchiony, a JPMorgan spokesman, declined to comment on potential bids, as did an official for Sao Paulo-based BTG, in keeping with company policy.
JPMorgan has sought $3.3 billion for the division and the first round of bids is due before the end of the month, a person with direct knowledge of the sale process said last week. The New York-based bank probably would prefer to divest the entire unit, making it harder for other firms seeking to expand existing commodities businesses by bidding on the pieces, said Gerard Cassidy, an RBC Capital Markets analyst.
"Selling the division in total would generate the best price as different parts of the business can leverage off one another, creating incremental value that would be lost by selling it in pieces," Cassidy said yesterday in an e-mail.
Goldman Sachs
Documents circulated by JPMorgan say the unit produces $750 million in annual income before compensation costs, according to the person with knowledge of the sale process. Possible bidders were granted access to some information about the business, the person said.
The 10 biggest Wall Street banks generated about $6 billion in revenue from commodities last year, including dealings in physical materials and related financial products, according to a Feb. 15 report from analytics firm Coalition. JPMorgan ranked No. 2, after New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
The Federal Reserve said in July that it's reviewing a decade-old ruling to let deposit-taking banks trade physical commodities. A reversal would be the Fed's biggest exclusion of banks from a market since Congress lifted the Depression-era law against them joining with securities firms in 1999.
A disaster at a bank-owned commodities asset would be "catastrophic" to the reputation of the company and the Fed, Joshua Rosner, managing director at Graham Fisher & Co., said at a July 23 hearing of the Senate Banking subcommittee. An incident such as a major oil spill would trigger calls for more collateral, cut liquidity and require the government to step in and stabilize systemic risk to the financial system, he said.

Editors' note: The Asus Transformer Pad TF300 was released in April 2012. Check this blog post for details on the key differences from the Prime.
Also, we changed the Prime's review text to reflect the Android 4.0 update the tablet received in January 2012. Check out this exhaustive interview with Asus detailing -- and putting into perspective -- some of the Prime's technical issues.
Since the launch of the iPad 2, we've been kind of waiting for the Asus Transformer Prime. While we didn't know it existed until a few months ago, the thought of a powerful, robust, and sexy Android tablet has been invading our tablet dreams for months.
Is the Transformer Prime that tablet? With its quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, it definitely has the potential.
The Prime comes in two colors, amethyst gray (gray and purple) and champagne gold (silver and gold). We got the amethyst gray version for review, and while a purple tablet admittedly wasn't the highest item on our holiday wish list, the gray and purple are blended in a sleek, sexy, and appealing way. Although the aluminum back does a good job of resisting fingerprints, the glossy screen and bezel succumb to them easily.
|Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime
|Asus Eee Pad Transformer
|Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
|Apple iPad 2
|Weight in pounds
|Width in inches (landscape)
|Height in inches
|Depth in inches
|Side bezel width in inches (landscape)
The Prime is about an inch wider than the iPad 2 but a hair thinner; it's also thinner than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It's slightly heavier than both aforementioned tablets, but its weight is distributed evenly, so we felt only a negligible difference.
The Prime takes some design cues from the iPad 2, with a sloped back and rounded corners that don't dig into our palms as the previous Transformer did. For connections, the Prime includes a microSD slot and a Micro-HDMI port on the left side. On the same side are a volume rocker and a microphone pinhole. On the top is a smallish power/lock button, which, though functional, could have protruded more from the chassis so as to feel more tactile. Next to that is a second microphone pinhole and on the right side is a headphone jack. A 40-pin connector port for data/power is located on the bottom.
On the front bezel sits a 1.2-megapixel camera, and almost directly opposite it on the back is an 8-megapixel camera, which is capable of recording 1080p video.
Like the previous Transformer, the Prime connects to an optional keyboard/dock ($150), transforming it (heh) into what is essentially an Android laptop. With the previous Transformer, that connection wasn't the easiest to achieve, but the process has improved dramatically on the Prime, as it now easily slides into the awaiting slot.
The dock includes a touch pad, a 40-pin data/power connection port on the left, and a full-size SD slot and USB port on the right.
Once connected, the tablet feels a bit top-heavy, though, and could easily slip off a lap or table if enough care isn't taken. Also, the dock is compatible only with the Prime and vice versa. Switching between the older Transformer and this newer one is not supported.
Hardware features
The Prime is the first tablet to house Nvidia's new quad-core processor, the Tegra 3. The Prime also includes 1GB of RAM and comes in either 32GB or 64GB varieties. It has 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi support, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, a gyroscope, and GPS.
The Mobile dock includes an extra battery that--while connected--"feeds" the Prime its power, meaning that the dock's battery will deplete its reserves before the tablet's.
Through its Micro-HDMI port, you can connect the tablet to an HDTV or monitor and play full-screen Android games using both wired Xbox 360 and PS3 game pads, as well as supported wireless game pads through the use of an USB dongle.
Software features
The Prime comes preinstalled with Honeycomb 3.2.1 and is upgradable to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
Asus MyCloud gives users 8GB of free cloud-based storage space for the lifetime of the Prime (upon registering it) at Asus WebStorage. It also provides remote access to the desktop of a PC or Mac and connects you to the @Vibe online music and radio service.
The File Manager accesses the Prime's root directory, providing easy and organized access to every file on your drive or expanded memory unit. MyNet lets you stream content to DLNA-enabled devices on your network, and with MyLibrary, Asus' e-reader software, you can read and purchase new books directly through the interface.
SuperNote is intended to help with taking notes and allows you to not only type them, but "write" notes with your fingers as well. You can also draw graphs and take pictures or video right from the interface. This could be especially useful for taking notes in a class.
Via Asus' tweaks to the Android interface, you can choose to run the Tegra 3 CPU in normal, balanced, or power-saving modes. While in normal mode, the CPU runs at full speed. In balanced mode and power-saving mode, the CPU speed is throttled to save on battery life. Having this level of control of overall speed is a very welcome feature we hope to see in more tablets.
Asus also adds a Super IPS+ (In-Plane Switching) mode, which boosts the tablet's screen brightness, making reading in sunlight a bit easier. There's also a feature that lets you take screenshots using the Recent Apps button.
Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Asus recently began sending an over-the-air update for the Transformer Prime that updates it from Honeycomb 3.2.1 to Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0.2. ICS is the latest version of Android and so far had only been available on smartphones. This is the first time anyone's seen it on a tablet in the wild, so we're going to dive in and see what, if any, differences there are from Honeycomb.
UI and widgets: The first thing we noticed is that the lock screen now allows you to go straight into the camera app if you want, making the prospect of getting a shot of that supercool thing that's happening right now a bit more likely.
On the home screen, Google has slightly changed the way we access widgets. Honeycomb had a little shortcut at the top of the screen, or you could press and hold the home screen, but now widgets have been grouped with apps.
Tapping the apps shortcut now brings you to a dual apps and widgets section, each with its own tab. Also, swiping through your apps will eventually bring you to widgets. This change is subtle; widgets now feel less hidden and more important than before because of it.

MOST Afghans believe their country is headed in the right direction but still worry about the lack of security resulting from the 11-year war, a public opinion survey by a major international non-profit group says.
The poll by the San Francisco-based Asia Foundation also found that an overwhelming majority of Afghans back the government's efforts to negotiate and reconcile with armed insurgent groups.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has offered jobs and housing to Taliban fighters who defect and formed a High Peace Council to facilitate negotiations.
Though officials and diplomats say contacts are being made with insurgent leaders, no formal peace talks are currently under way – mostly because the Taliban broke off efforts to start negotiations earlier this year.
"Security continues to be the biggest indicator of both optimism and pessimism for Afghans," Abdullah Ahmadzai, the deputy representative for Afghanistan with the Asia Foundation, said on Wednesday.
Only 30 per cent of respondents in the poll expressed sympathy for the insurgents, while nearly two-thirds said they did not support them.
But when asked why the Taliban continue to fight, the most common reason cited was opposition to the presence of foreign troops in the country.
Other reasons included a desire to gain power, illiteracy, support from Pakistan and corruption.
Despite their opposition to the Taliban, many respondents also said they were afraid of the troops from the US-led NATO coalition and government's security forces.
Nearly three-quarters said they felt fear when meeting international troops, while just under half said they had the same reaction when encountering the Afghan army or police.
NATO has intensified training of the 352,000-strong Afghan police and army to help improve standards and enable them to operate independently after foreign combat troops leave the country at the end of 2014.
The survey, which included 89 questions on a wide range of issues, showed that the vast majority of Afghans see corruption as a major problem in all facets of life and at all levels of governance.
Nearly 80 per cent of respondents said graft was a serious problem across the country, the report said.
The in-person survey of 6,290 Afghans from all 34 provinces, conducted with support from the US Agency for International Development and other foreign agencies, had a margin of error of plus or minus 5.1 per cent.

Scherzer off his game as Tigers fall out of first
DETROIT -- For the first time this far into a season since 2003, the Royals are leading the American League Central. For the first time at any point in the season in nearly a full year, the Tigers aren't.

DETROIT -- For the first time this far into a season since 2003, the Royals are leading the American League Central. For the first time at any point in the season in nearly a full year, the Tigers aren't.
For the first extended stretch in the Tigers' reign over the division, their starting pitching has gone from clear strength to a liability.View Full Game Coverage
For the first time in Brad Ausmus' brief tenure as manager, the frustration is impossible to hide.
Twenty-eight games and 19 losses after being grounded in Boston, it's not just one of those stretches for the Tigers anymore.
"Quite frankly, I stopped saying every team goes through this about a week ago," Ausmus admitted after a seven-run Royals second inning off Max Scherzer led to the latest loss, 11-4, Tuesday night at Comerica Park.
"Teams do go through losing streaks and slumps, but this has been a little bit more than what it should've been. And the question is: How do you fix it?"
That question pushes the standings down the list of Detroit's worries right now.
"I don't care who's in first place until the end of the season," Ausmus continued. "Anyone who's in first place before that doesn't matter unless you finish in first place. But we need to play better baseball."
If the red-hot Royals had battled their way to close wins the last two nights, the Tigers could chalk it up to a hot team. But not only did the Royals rough up a Cy Young winner for the second consecutive night, they handed Scherzer some of the greatest damage of his career -- 10 runs on 10 hits in four-plus innings.
A seven-run second marked the worst inning of Scherzer's career in terms of damage, and all seven runs reached base before he recorded his first out. He tied his career high in runs allowed from 2010, bumping his season ERA from 3.05 to 3.84 in one night.
With that, the Tigers and Royals flipped places in the AL Central standings, Detroit now a half-game back. The last time the Tigers didn't hold at least a share of the division lead was last July 2 -- when Miguel Cabrera was just beginning to deal with back issues, and then-Tiger Omar Infante hit the disabled list with a bruised ankle.
That team lost a five-game division lead in two weeks thanks to a scoring slump, then rattled off five straight wins in Toronto and Cleveland and led the division the rest of the season. The Tigers' current skid has lasted longer, and includes Infante haunting his former team for six RBIs over the last two nights.
Of greater concern: Unlike last year, the starting pitching has shown cracks that are proving difficult to patch.
"I know they're better than this," Ausmus said. "Clearly, they're better than this. Everybody in this room knows they're better than this. They've set a high standard, but they've set a high standard because they're good. And you don't just lose it overnight."
While Verlander's struggles have drawn almost all the focus, Scherzer has quietly dealt with his own.
His three-hit shutout last Thursday in Chicago ended a streak of four outings without a quality start, but it didn't solve the problem, not to him. Add in Tuesday's damage, and he has allowed 30 runs on 53 hits over 39 1/3 innings in his last six starts.
"With two strikes, I'm just not putting guys away," Scherzer said. "If I'm throwing offspeed out of the zone, it's too far out of the zone. I'm throwing fastballs over the middle of the plate, not located. Those are the types of results I'm not getting."
It was a seven-run, seven-hit Royals second inning that sapped 51 pitches out of Scherzer's arsenal on a 90-degree summer evening. He gave up eight consecutive baserunners to start the inning, then retired the side in order when the Royals had hit around.
He gave up more home runs in that fateful second inning (two) than he had in any game since last August. Both came from left-handed hitters, the guys Scherzer held down to find his breakthrough.
Alex Gordon jumped on a 1-0 fastball and sent it deep to right after Scherzer fell behind on a first-pitch changeup. It was Gordon's eighth homer of the year, and the third of his career off Scherzer. Mike Moustakas shrugged off a curveball and changeup off the plate after a 1-2 count, then kept a hanging changeup fair down the right-field line for his seventh homer of the year and his first ever off Scherzer.
What haunted Scherzer more than anything, though, was the batter in between.
"The at-bat that really drove me crazy tonight was Salvador Perez," Scherzer said. "I got 0-2 on him. I'm in the count where I'm in control, I'm in the driver's seat. I'm ready to collect an out. Instead, I throw four straight balls and walk him."
Infante, too, had an 0-2 count after three straight singles loaded the bases following Moustakas. After a changeup in the dirt, he sent a 95-mph fastball back through the middle for two more runs and a 7-0 lead.
Once Scherzer ended the inning with three consecutive strikes past Gordon, he whirled his head and looked up in exasperation. It wasn't quite the same impact as Verlander shouting into his glove Monday night, but it was similar frustration.
"When I watch video, you see these things happen over and over," Scherzer said. "The 1-2 counts that I'm stressing to get into, and I'm not putting guys away -- that's the frustrating part.
"I have to make a few adjustments and make my offspeed pitches better. At the same time, now that I know that, I have the mentality to go and fix it. It should be fun to do over the next four days, and I'm looking forward to my start against Cleveland [on Sunday]."
That's one rotation turn away.
"This isn't the way they normally pitch," Ausmus said. "You certainly can't take them out of the rotation. That's just not an option. The only option is to fix it."

On CodeSnipers.com today, Peter Harkins talks about a method, using regular expressions and Apache to turn ugly, GET-laden URLs in your application into clean, search engine friendly URLs without altering the underlying scripts.
So we have two goals. First, requests for the new URL are internally rewritten to call the existing scripts without users ever knowing they exist. Second, requests for the old URLs get a 301 redirect to the new URLs so that search engines and good bookmarks immediately switch to the new URLs.
He starts with a sample .htaccess file, showing a simple RewriteRule to take in the request and remap them back to the old PHP script's input format. They work through a few more changes, noting issues along the way (in case you hit them too) and end up with a simple, and much easier way to achieve clean URL bliss.

Sixth in a series exploring the April 26-28 NFL draft. Next: Receivers.
Many teams would love to find a big tight end who can run, catch and block like Rob Gronkowski, but they won't find one in this draft. The talent is limited, though the draft does offer some smaller, one-dimensional tight ends who won't be of much use in the running game, as well as a few players who could develop into decent receiving tight ends.
The best

Either integrated into the actual flash controller ASIC or part of the software. On a mobo (the BIOS), you're probably right. But how many times do you reflash the BIOS?

That would be indicative of a terrible implementation, or the use of NOR flash then. Particularly for SSDs, which almost certainly use NAND flash, the write speed is very fast. It's the erase speed which is slow. Some data from Toshiba I happen to have convenient gives the following numbers: NAND SLC 24 MB/s read, 8MB/s write, 2ms erase (smaller parts) NAND MLC 18.6 MB/s read, 2.4 MB/s write, 2ms erase (bigger density) NOR MLC 103 MB/s read, 0.47 MB/s, 900ms erase There's also a difference in how you access it. NOR Flash is like memory (address and data lines), NAND flash is more like a I/O device.. you tell where to start and you get streams of data in or out. The Flash used for a BIOS would be NOR flash, for this reason. Sure, 2 MB/s isn't as fast as SDRAM, and even slower than some hard disk drives, but don't forget there's zero rotational latency and zero seek time, so overall, a flash based drive will probably be faster than a spinning platter drive (aside from the much lower power, etc.) If you were streaming video to the "disk", then you need to start thinking magnetic media, rather than flash. Amusingly > executives with giant outlook mailboxes seem quite attracted to airbook > SSD laptops. Well, I just got a macbook air at work (with conventional disk) to replace my HP Tablet and it *is* a nice package. The power consumption of the SSD is a lot lower and it's more rugged, so if the executive drops their macbook air while walking up the airstair to their G IV, it's less likely to break. > > Seems common for the SSDs to be 2-10 times slower at random writes and 1/3rd > of the bandwidth (read or write) of common cheap SATA desktop disks.

Freshman forward Garret Pettis has scored 10 goals, tying the record set last season by Miguel DaSilva. Pettis, with 10 goals and one assist, and DaSilva with seven goals and seven assists, both have 21 points, a new season record for points. DaSilva set the old mark of 20 last season as a freshman.
"Last year Miguel benefited from teams keying on Ben Page," said Bisons coach Charles Morrow. "And I think Garret has benefited a little bit from teams keying in on Miguel."
"When we first saw Garret he reminded us of Ben Page when he was a freshman, only he is bigger than Ben," said Morrow. "Garret still has a lot of work to do, but he does a lot of things that are beyond his years."
Morrow knew Pettis could score goals, but he did not think that he could surpass DaSilva so quickly.
"Garret has been a little bit of a surprise for us in the number of goals he has scored," said Morrow. "I don't think Garret envisioned himself doing this well. But he works hard. He has some game savvy to him.
"He is a very smart player. Some of the little things he does as a forward are things that normally you have to teach a forward to do over the course of time. He uses his body extremely well. He can play off defenders and put them on his back. He is also a pretty good passer and play maker. With a young player you don't usually see that combination."
The Bisons, who received votes this week in the NCSCAA/adidas Regional Rankings, are at home this weekend for the final time with two Atlantic Sun games. They face Stetson Friday night at 7:30. This will be "Senior" Night with defender-midfielder T.J. Williams and midfielder Ricardo Atti being honored. Sunday afternoon at 2:30 Florida Gulf Coast visits.
"Stetson is in a position where they are probably going to get into the tournament," said Morrow. "Florida Gulf Coast has had some big wins this season. This past weekend they beat North Florida 7-1. Last year we caught them when they were a little bit down. I know they will be looking to change that result.
"Both games are going be highly-competitive. There is going to be a lot on the line for both teams. Every game has tournament and possibly championship implications. We only have one loss in the conference. If we can win out there is a chance we could win the regular title. We are playing every game like it is the championship."
The Bisons 4-3 win over Mercer last Sunday is the seventh overall of the season, the highest victory total ever in a season for program in the NCAA era. Last season they won six games overall.
The 30 goals so far this season shatters the old mark of 26 set in 2007. Nine different players have scored goals, seven have scored multiple goals.
"That says a lot for the guys we have on this team from top to bottom," said Morrow. "It says a lot about Miguel and Garret, especially Miguel. Everyone knows about Miguel. Teams have to key on him.
"It is a double-edged sword for a lot of teams. In games where Miguel has been shut down then Garret has had multiple-goal games. And when Garret has been shut down Miguel has scored. But it is not just them. Teams also have to deal with our midfielders and defenders."
The 28 assists this season also breaks the old market of 23 set in 2005. The Bisons also already have 88 points, besting the old season record of 71 in 2005.
"It doesn't matter what teams do and how they prepare or who they key on," said Morrow. "More often than not we are going to score goals which is definitely a good feeling.
"For the past four years every team we have had has set records. Our guys are humble and they are working hard. Every year the goal is to be better than we were the year before. How well we can do this year still remains to be seen."

Jane Fonda was so smitten with Maryland's capital city that state tourism officials have taken to calling her "Annapolis' newest ambassador."
The actress was walking the cobblestone streets of Annapolis the other day to film a cameo in the movie "Better Living Through Chemistry," a shoot that's been underway there for a number of weeks.
But unlike stars who parachute in and zip out with barely a look around, Fonda was into Annapolis, shooting tons of pictures of the historical vistas and then, later devoting a blog post to the town.
"Just finished my Cameo on 'Better Living Through Chemistry.' We filmed in Annapolis, Maryland," she said. "I've never been there before. Who knew how utterly charming it is? Loved it! Wish I could have stayed longer."
Fonda posted her shots of the narrow streets that radiate from the State House. She met the Town Crier in his historical garb. And she dined at Galway Bay, an Irish restaurant on Maryland Avenue.
She showed off a picture of herself posing with one of the restaurant's managers, Fintan Galway.
Galway was delighted to mingle with the celebrity and surprised to find out he now had his own cameo -- on her blog.
"She was very gracious," Galway said, "talking about, you know, what she was doing in town. And then she asked me about the menu."
Fonda dined on a tuna fish sandwich with pineapple and avocado. Her hairdresser, who she was lunching with, had a crabcake.
Galway called the overall encounter "pretty cool," praising Fonda's "amazing" movies but, as a military man, holding his tongue for her well-known anti-war stance.
"I wouldn't be a huge fan there," he said.
Maryland travel officials don't care about Fonda's politics. They're just tickled about the free publicity she's showering on Annapolis. The other day the agency Tweeted about Fonda, calling her the town's "newest ambassador" and saying:
"Jane -- we have to bring you back!"

Old Lyme candy shop's cease-and-desist order upheld by Zoning Board of Appeals
Old Lyme - The Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously voted Tuesday to uphold a cease-and-desist order against the Chocolate Shell, a candy shop on the town's main street whose case has drawn public attention.
The board of appeals ruled Tuesday that recent additions to the more than 30-year-old shop on Lyme Street amounted to a "change in use" that is prohibited by zoning laws.
Shop owner Barbara Crowley, who has operated the store at 18 Lyme St. since 2011, recently began selling coffee and prebaked pastries. She installed a "Cafe Open" flag, additional outdoor seats and tables, and stools and a counter in the shop's back room. The town said these additions violated zoning regulations.
Crowley appealed the town's January cease-and-desist order that stated she was operating a take-out and full-service restaurant without permits. Crowley agreed to take down the flag, which was part of the order. She has said she viewed the additions as an extension of her product line at the shop, where she previously sold hot chocolate, as well as chocolates and sweets.
The board's ruling Tuesday follows last week's three-hour public hearing in which residents spoke both for and against the order. Lawyers for the town, Crowley and several neighbors of the Chocolate Shell presented their cases. The zoning decision also set off a larger discussion about the town's zoning laws for Lyme Street.
The town considers commercial properties on Lyme Street, zoned residential in the late '70s, as "non-conforming uses," which means they can continue to operate based on their historical use but cannot expand beyond that. The residential street, also a historic district, has shops along with houses, schools, Town Hall, galleries and a fire station.
In deliberations, several board members stressed that they were making their decisions solely based on interpretation of zoning laws and determining if the additions of the Chocolate Shell constitute a "change in use."
ZBA member Mary Stone said she was not saying the shop's additions were bad - in fact, she said the members could agree that "it's a wonderful thing" - but it nonetheless is illegal since it has changed from what was permitted.
Member Arthur Sibley said several aspects of the store had changed - hours were expanded and food items were now offered that could be consumed on the premises rather than taken away - which made it an illegal change of use. He spoke about the history of how the town made a deliberate decision to preserve Lyme Street and to move its commercial operations to Halls Road.
In his remarks, member Kip Kotzan said he hopes the business would be able to seek a zoning exemption or apply for a variance.
"I want this clearly to be on the record that we're not making a judgment that this is a detriment to the town," he added.

Congratulations on your god daughter! I don't have this one because I wasn't sure if it was too similar to Traffic Stopper Copper (which I thought seemed a little more rosy than copper), but having seen it in person this is definitely pink, and not at all rose gold. Such a fun girly glitter.
Do you know if these have been made permanent? I've noticed they're still on display at my CVS. I thought they were LE.

You're making me want this badly. Naughty K2K, naughty, bad! lol. Although I have no problems with wearing glitter (I'm old, I no longer care if anyone likes it but me, lol), I H.A.T.E removal with a passion. A few Ch G's like Ruby Pumps or Dorthy Who are pretty fine and not too, too much of a bear to get off, but ones like Atlantis or Carnival Lights (my fave, a pink with holo), suck so bad, I only use them for an accent nail...or every year or two when I've lost my mind, for a whole mani. But some of the Zoya metallics have fine glitter in them that isn't gaudy and is easily removed. As you further test the crimson waters, you might want to check out Zoya's Delilah. I think it has moved in front of the iconic ChG Ruby Pumps and even Essie's Ruby Slippers to become my favorite, subtle and elegant red glitter. Take a peek next time you're at Zoya.

@Grace - TSC is definitely more copper and this is very pink! If you'd like a pink version, this would be the one! I'm not sure if these are perm or not honestly...
@screamviolence - Thank you!!
@Diane - She will definitely be spoiled rotten! But if she's anything like her parents, she won't be a brat at all :)
@Tintin - I'm not a glitter girl, but Essie's Luxeffects got me too...
@Mel - Thank you!
@Sandi - Gaahhh sorry to Sandi's wallet! Glitter removal can be such a PITA. I usually just soak a cotton pad and let it sit on the nail for a few minutes. (No foil method for me - too tedious.) And Delilah sounds gorgeous....
