The Snowths are furry pink creatures with horns and round, yellow lips who sing the "do doo do doo doo" backup vocals in versions of "Mahna Mahna" that have appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and The Muppet Show. Both Snowths were performed simultaneously by Frank Oz, who performed one puppet on each arm; as a result, the Snowths' arms could not be controlled by arm rods and swung freely from side to side.
Unlike their singing partner Mahna Mahna, the Snowths made relatively few appearances on The Muppet Showoutside of their performance of "Mahna Mahna" on episode 101.
In recent years, the Snowths appeared without Mahna Mahna in a sketch on episode 107 of Muppets Tonight that parodied the classic sketch. They also performed "Mahna Mahna" with Kermit the Frog on the 2002 Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon, where they were performed by Julianne Buescher.
The Snowths moved their arms with hand rods for the first time at the 2001 show The Muppet Show Live, where one of them puts their hands over their mouth when Mahna Mahna goes crazy. They also appeared in the 2005 "Bandanana" commercial for the Australian charity CanTeen, in which they, along with Mahna Mahna, wore green bandanas.
The Snowths' recent appearances include Studio DC: Almost Live! where they sang backup for Miley Cyrus performing her song "G.N.O. (Girls' Night Out)". On November 17, 2011, they appeared on Good Morning America, and were performed by Matt Vogel and Peter Linz. When the Snowths appeared during Jim Henson's Musical World, they were both operated by Kevin Clash. They also appeared in the "All I Need is Love" music video, performed by Steve Whitmire and Eric Jacobson.
In Jim Henson's Designs and Doodles, Alison Inchesexplains that the characters in Jim Henson's original sketch were called Snouths, based on a combination of the words snout and mouth. However, by the time the characters appeared on The Muppet Show, the spelling had changed to Snowths. The characters are referred to as such in The Muppet Show Book, on the back of The Muppet Showalbum, and on all future album releases.
In The Muppets, the narrator for the home video version's descriptive English track describes them as "two pink Muppets vaguely like cows."

20Q: Joseph Gordon-Levitt
PLAYBOY: We're about to see you play a bike messenger chased by a twisted cop in the big-screen action thriller Premium Rush. Meanwhile, audiences are still arguing about whether The Dark Knight Rises is the best-ever Batman flick, and your profile has kept rising since you did Inception and (500) Days of Summer. Having acted in commercials and TV shows such as 3rd Rock From the Sun since you were six and having made your 1992 movie debut at the age of 11 as Student #1 in Beethoven, do you look back on your childhood as a bit skewed?
GORDON-LEVITT: I wouldn't say I was a normal kid. I'd say I was a lucky little kid, because unfortunately it's not normal to have extraordinarily good parents who love and support you. I played baseball, did gymnastics, took piano lessons and started acting as just another one of the things I did. I wasn't pressured into it. But it was acting I loved. I had a really cool acting teacher who taught us how to become a character, to be realistic and feel those feelings, so I hated being expected to behave like an idiot in TV commercials because they seem to think that's what sells toys or whatever. I remember on Beethoven we weren't allowed to pet the dog because it would have distracted him. For a dog lover that was disappointing and weird.
PLAYBOY: Back then, just as now, you never seemed to get caught up in any of the missteps that have turned many promising young actors into tabloid fodder. How?
GORDON-LEVITT: Being on TV when I was a teenager in high school was way harder than anything I've experienced since. It prepared me for what it is to work in pop culture. I've learned I have basically two different interactions with people. I love when someone approaches me and tells me they've seen me in something that made them feel something and that they connected to it. That's part of why I do it. The other interaction is with people who really don't care about the movies or anything like that. They just sort of buy into the fame thing, and that feels icky to me.
PLAYBOY: Have you followed the political traditions of your grandfather Michael Gordon, a director who survived the 1950s blacklists; your father, who was news director of a politically progressive radio station; and your mother, who in 1970 ran for Congress on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket?
GORDON-LEVITT: My parents are political in that they're well read and as up on the news as anybody I know. To me that is political activism, choosing to stay informed and not just watching CNN or some bullshit entertainment show. Every time I sit down and watch television news, I think, This is show business. That's what I do. I say, go on the internet and find news from all over the world through the BBC, the Pacifica stations, newspapers, people's blogs and tweets. It's so funny when people say Fox is bad. Sure Fox is bad, but I don't think CNN and MSNBC are really any better.
PLAYBOY: You've shot a number of short films, including one last year documenting Occupy Wall Street protesters in Zuccotti Park in New York. How closely does the mainstream media's coverage of that movement relate to what you filmed and experienced?
GORDON-LEVITT: Very little. What I've seen on TV focuses on the superficial stuff. It's a pretty simple notion: People who have lots of money—people in corporations who have tons of money—are malevolently manipulating the system to keep their money. And the rest of the world suffers for it. You could show a trillion examples of how Goldman Sachs, McDonald's, Walmart and Monsanto are clearly fucking over everybody, but CNN, Fox and MSNBC are owned by Fortune 500 companies, so they never show any of it.
PLAYBOY: Couldn't a detractor accuse you, a famous, privileged actor, of being one of the elites?
GORDON-LEVITT: I grew up in the 1990s, when it was considered cool to be excessively rich. That's what rappers rapped about, and later that's what Paris Hilton had a TV show about and what MTV Cribs was about. The Occupy movement is a pop culture happening that's saying money is not what's cool. What's cool is doing something worthwhile. If your goal is to make money in the movie industry, you make crappy movies, not good ones.
PLAYBOY: How did you make the rough transition from kid TV star to grown-up movie star?
GORDON-LEVITT: As a teenager in the 1990s I loved the spike of indie films coming through Sundance, and films like Pulp Fiction, Big Night, Sling Blade, Trees Lounge and Swingers. Had I said to my agents at the time that I wanted to do that stuff, they would have said, "You're making a ton of money doing TV, and that's what you're going to do." I went to school, quit acting for a while, and when I came back everyone wanted me to do another TV show and make more money. I didn't want to. I made a decision that I was going to do only work that inspired me creatively, not what was supposed to be good for my career.
PLAYBOY: Yet the work that inspires can also be commercial. The sweet, upbeat indie romance (500) Days of Summer was a hit and turned you into a heartthrob.
GORDON-LEVITT: The (500) Days of Summer attitude of "He wants you so bad" seems attractive to some women and men, especially younger ones, but I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is. He develops a mildly delusional obsession over a girl onto whom he projects all these fantasies. He thinks she'll give his life meaning because he doesn't care about much else going on in his life. A lot of boys and girls think their lives will have meaning if they find a partner who wants nothing else in life but them. That's not healthy. That's falling in love with the idea of a person, not the actual person.
PLAYBOY: Are you actually slagging a movie that landed you on people's radar and made many of them fall in love with you and Zooey Deschanel as a screen couple?
GORDON-LEVITT: No, I really liked that movie. The coming-of-age story is subtly done, and that's great, because nothing's worse than an over-the-top, cheesy, hitting-you-over-the-head-with-a-hammer,
PLAYBOY: Your character in (500) Days made extravagant gestures in the name of love. What kind of woman could make you do that?
GORDON-LEVITT: Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever. You can't meet someone and think, Do they have everything I want in a person? You just have to pay attention, keep your eyes open, listen to people and be present. I guess what I look for in a girl is someone who's doing that too. Beyond that there's not much more I would specify, because you never fucking know, man.
PLAYBOY: You and Deschanel also made the music video "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" and a homemade one of you two singing the 1947 classic "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" How do you react when so many people—judging from comments on the internet—want the two of you to get together romantically?
GORDON-LEVITT: It's awkward when people say that. Whatever. Zooey and I just think it's funny. It is funny. We've been friends for 10 years. She loves movies, music and art, and she's incredibly knowledgeable about that stuff. She's turned me on to so many good movies and so much good music. It's fun just to have conversations, watch movies with her and stuff like that.
PLAYBOY: You've used YouTube and the internet a lot to express yourself. Is it as satisfying and creative an outlet as film?
GORDON-LEVITT: The internet's a fascinating thing because you can express yourself anonymously without any of the consequences. I've developed a lot of meaningful, creatively collaborative relationships with all sorts of people on the internet. I use Twitter a lot, and I have an open collaborative production company, hitRECord, where I make art with people.
PLAYBOY: Are there any film genres you haven't done that you'd like to tackle? You're reportedly attached to a remake of Little Shop of Horrors.
GORDON-LEVITT: I would like to do a musical, if I could find a cool one. When Zooey and I danced in that video it was just us having a great time, just being ourselves. A song-and-dance role is closer to me personally than other characters I play.
PLAYBOY: Your grandfather Michael Gordon directed some of the most popular romantic comedies and tearjerkers of the 1960s, with Doris Day, Rock Hudson and James Garner. Do you ever wish you were working in old-time Hollywood?
GORDON-LEVITT: No. Right now is without a doubt the most exciting time in human history. The ability to connect with one another, the technology of the internet and all that it's spawning, is doubtlessly the most fascinating thing that's ever happened. It's an incredibly exciting time to be alive, as a human being and especially as an artist. In the 20th century making movies, music or anything was a one-way thing, but creativity is always more of an interactive, back-and-forth, organic and progressive thing. We're going to get away from "Oh, I just get to listen to stories; I don't tell them" and "I just listen to music; I don't play or sing it." No, man! That's a terrible way to think about yourself. I think art is going to become more conversational, more of a dialogue, and a better, healthier thing for everybody.
PLAYBOY: Why do you think your Dark Knight Rises co-star Christian Bale called you an "intriguing guy"?
GORDON-LEVITT: We had a fucking great time every day working on that movie. I felt as though I'd transferred in for senior year and had a graduation celebration. You felt a huge sense of accomplishment and closure. Everyone on that movie did such good, dignified work. No one came to phone it in or just cash a check.
PLAYBOY: Are you enough of a daredevil to tear through Manhattan traffic on a fixed-gear brakeless bicycle the way your terrorized bike messenger character does in Premium Rush?
GORDON-LEVITT: I'm really into bikes, actually, because I was paying attention to them doing Premium Rush. So when someone rides by with a cool setup that really fits them, I think, Oh wow, that looks nice. I live in a part of L.A. with quite a bike culture, and I bought a great bike, but I don't ride it as much as I'd like.
PLAYBOY: Does being an internet-savvy guy who has acted in a few high-tech, futuristic movies translate into being a cutting-edge, gadget-buying guy offscreen?
GORDON-LEVITT: I'd say no. I will admit I like cameras. I have some that are really nice. I like a beautiful guitar or piano, because I love music and musical instruments. I guess I do as much fetishizing as the average guy. Cars do not impress me. Whenever I see somebody with an extremely nice car, I'm like, What an idiot. It just looks so stupid.
PLAYBOY: You play Abraham Lincoln's son in Steven Spielberg's upcoming historical epic Lincoln, starring Daniel Day-Lewis.
GORDON-LEVITT: It's a ridiculously exciting movie to be part of. Daniel Day-Lewis has a unique, enormously inspiring process that's very immersive. I never heard his real voice or saw him out of costume. I met the president, I met my dad, but I never met Day-Lewis until we wrapped. As excited as I am about Lincoln, though, I'm honestly most excited about Looper.
PLAYBOY: That's the time-travel movie in which you're an assassin assigned to kill your future self, played by Bruce Willis. What personal or professional transgressions would you travel through time to fix?
GORDON-LEVITT: I wouldn't do that, but I'm a sucker for Rian Johnson's thing. He's the writer-director of Looper, and I also made Brick with him. He's a dear friend and a brilliant filmmaker—a great writer, a great mind. Looper brings all the exhilaration and chemical feelings you hope to get from an action sci-fi movie. But Rian has also come up with a concept that will tickle your intellect while he tells a sincere story about the cyclical nature of violence and how violence begets violence. I love going to a good movie more than anything, and this movie just hits it.
PLAYBOY: What's the best night out you've had recently?
GORDON-LEVITT: Questlove is a great drummer, but I saw him deejay recently. He could put on any record at all, but the art is in the sequence, reading the crowd and thinking, I know exactly the song to put on right now. To me that's the art form of the 21st century and creativity in general—being able to pick and choose from anything and make the right choice.
PLAYBOY: You replaced James Franco in Inception and James McAvoy in 50/50. Which other famous Jameses are you out to replace?
GORDON-LEVITT: [Laughs] That's funny. LeBron better look out.
There's actually nothing relatively new about this interview but I did like the part where he talked about 500 Days. Still, I'm ready for all the "pretentious" and "hipster" comments.

Sleepiness is no excuse to stay in bed when there is sakura to be seen!
As I've said a million times before, Kyoto is my happy place. I could go there any time, in any season, for absolutely no reason, with nothing to do, and I would be happy just being there. But Kyoto in the spring is a different beast altogether.
Experiencing Kyoto in the spring is hard to put into words. It's as if the city itself is a geiko, veiling herself with snow white sakura and soft, subtle shades of pink cherry blossoms, accented with brilliant crimson camelias, adorning herself in all the riches of spring for her biggest engagement of the year.
Cherry blossoms line the Kamogawa River, leading the way into the heart of Kyoto.
A bike ride beneath the cherry blossoms gracing the banks of the Kamogawa River and Kawaramachi-Dori.
One of the reasons I love Kyoto is because of it's walkability. Most of the time I spend there, I spend walking. I usually don't have much of a plan. I just go wherever the day leads me. Since we had just arrived in Kyoto the night before, we couldn't wait to get out and see how far along the blossoms had bloomed, and revisit all our favorite spots.
A couple debates which way to go outside the newly renovated gate to Yasaka Shrine, also known as Gion-san.
Two young women in colorful kimono on the steps leading to the gate. The girl on the left is unmarried, which is why she continues to wear the long sleeved furisode kimono. The short sleeves of the young lady on the right signify that she is indeed off the market.
Married women chat inside the temple grounds. Behind them, hundreds of poor fortunes were tied to ropes in a hope that the visitors might be able to leave there bad luck behind.
An unlucky fortune tied amongst the cherries inside the shrine.
Special lanterns hung in Gion announcing the up-coming Miyako Odori, the annual spring dance of the Gion Kobu Geisha district.
A popular hanami spot in Maruyama Koen (Park).
Two ladies try to get a shot infront of a beautiful weeping cherry.
My brother and I on Tatsumi Bashi (Bridge) over the Shirakawa stream in Gion.
When my brother tried to get a picture of me on the bridge, a small group of Japanese tourists gathered around to snap a few, too. These guys even asked if they could get a picture with me, first with their cameras and then with their cell phones. "Bijin da ne!" (You're a beauty, aren't you!) Um, not exactly boys, but arigatou! Did I mention I love Kyoto?
Many people dress in Kimono for cherry blossom viewing, especially in Kyoto. Ketai are the camera of choice!
If you're going to wear kimono, you may as well go all the way! Many tourists dress up as maiko or geisha to sightsee and have souvenier pictures taken. Most of the "geisha" people see during day are actually just tourists playing dress up!
It's also true that the size of a Japanese person's camera seems to increase proportionatly according to their age. Here a bunch of ojiisans (old men) snap away at the sakura.
Kimono-clad hanami along the Shirakawa.
The monument in rememberance of Yoshii Isamu, the poet and fellow Gion-ophile whose poem is engraved on the rock: No matter what they say, I love Gion. Even in my sleep, the sound of water flows beneath my pillow.
More coming soon!

The House of Representatives passed its fiscal year 2012 agriculture appropriations bill, which would limit USDA's ability to finish the proposed Grain Inspection and Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) rule on livestock and poultry marketing. The legislation would not allow any funds made available under the bill to be used to "write, prepare, develop or publish" a final rule or an interim final rule regarding USDA's proposed GIPSA rule on livestock and poultry marketing. This in essence stops any work on the proposed rule during fiscal year 2012, which begins Oct. 1. The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) said it is "grateful that the House of Representatives is requiring USDA to take a timeout on the GIPSA rule, which, as proposed, is bad for farmers and ranchers, bad for consumers, and bad for rural America. And contrary to the proclamations from some general farm groups, the vast majority of livestock and poultry producers strongly oppose this regulation, which would cost them millions of dollars and lead to thousands of lost jobs." The producer groups opposed to the proposed rule cite the negative impact it would have on producers. According to a study conducted by Informa Economics, the GIPSA rule would impose on the livestock and poultry industries "ongoing and indirect" costs – eventually borne by producers and consumers – of more than $1.64 billion, including nearly $880 million to the beef industry, more than $400 million to the pork industry and almost $362 million to the poultry industry. The American Farm Bureau Federation, National Farmers Union and R-CALF opposed the provision delaying the proposed rule.
GIPSA Rule Impact on Small Business – The Chairman of the House Small Business Committee, Congressman Sam Graves (R-MO), and Chairman of the Agriculture, Energy and Trade Subcommittee, Congressman Scott Tipton (R-CO), sent a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack asking USDA to comply with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) in regards to the proposed GIPSA rule on livestock marketing practices. The members stated in the letter that GIPSA failed to properly assess the impacts of the proposed rule on small businesses in the beef, pork and poultry industries as required by RFA. The members said, the proposed GIPSA rule, "if adopted unchanged, will alter how beef, pork and poultry industries conduct their business in a manner detrimental to the thousands of small businesses involved in those industries." Congressman Graves said, "At a time when our economy is struggling to make a recovery, all facets and outcomes must be examined – especially when it involves our best job creators. The proposed rule would be extremely damaging to small farms, kill jobs, and hamper competition across the country. Small farmers, just like other small businesses, are already under the constant threat of higher taxes and more regulations from the Obama administration. The last thing family farms need is another costly requirement that they are forced to comply with. We will continue to hold USDA accountable and ensure they follow the RFA as this process moves forward."
House Passes Agriculture Appropriations - The House of Representatives passed its fiscal year (FY) 2012 agriculture appropriations bill on a party line vote. The bill reduces discretionary spending to the lowest level since fiscal year 2008. Discretionary spending was cut 13.6% from FY '11 levels to $17.25 billion. A major concern for the administration is the reduction of the Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) budget by almost 12%. The administration opposed this limitation saying it hinders FDA's ability to implement the new food safety law. During consideration of the bill, a number of amendments were defeated that would have further reduced spending or eliminated agencies within USDA, including efforts to eliminate the Market Access Program (MAP) and eliminate USDA's Foreign Agriculture Service. The Senate hopes to begin work on its appropriations bill later this summer.
Senate Ends Ethanol Support – In a vote of 73-27, the Senate dealt a major defeat to the ethanol industry by passing Senators Feinstein's (D-CA) and Coburn's (R-OK) amendment that ends the ethanol support programs on July 1. The legislation would end the 45 cents/gal. Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC), commonly called the blender's tax credit, and the 54-cent tariff on imported ethanol. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said, "We need reforms and a smarter biofuels program, but simply cutting off support for the industry isn't the right approach. Therefore, we oppose a straight repeal of the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit (VEETC) and efforts to block biofuels infrastructure programs." The American Meat Institute, which supports repeal, commented: "At a time of record federal deficits coupled with rising food prices, it is time to end the 30-plus years of taxpayer subsidies afforded to the corn-based ethanol industry, which is costing taxpayers approximately $6 billion this year alone." The National Corn Growers Association said, "Today the Senate voted against rural America and domestic, renewable energy and in favor of more foreign oil. Sen. Feinstein has unfairly hit at the heart of an important agricultural industry while remaining unified with subsidy-laden Big Oil." The Senate defeated an attempt by Senator John McCain (R-AZ) to bar the use of funds for ethanol blender pumps and storage facilities by a vote of 41-59. The House of Representatives passed an amendment to the agriculture appropriations bill that would bar funds for blender pumps and storage facilities.

The Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) has decided in favor of Rohde & Schwarz transmitters and T&M equipment. South Korea's biggest public service broadcaster operates a number of radio and TV programs, which have been broadcast in 4K quality in Seoul since April using R&S THU9 high power transmitters.
The project also includes the R&S SCV8302 low power transmitter, which delivers 600 W in DVB-T2 mode. It was installed on a tower situated on Namsan mountain, in the middle of Seoul. A 5 kW R&S THU9 high power transmitter will go into operation on Kwanak mountain (located in the south of Seoul) in May. KBS selected the R&S ETL TV analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz for testing, and the R&S DVM400 digital video measurement system will be used for monitoring.
Rohde & Schwarz is the world market leader for DVB T2 broadcasting and T&M equipment. This experience played a crucial role in the broadcaster's decision. Rohde & Schwarz transmitters have already proven successful for T DMB and ATSC broadcasting in South Korea. They feature unique stability and reliability plus the advantage of the company's on site service and support.
Broadcast network operators benefit from the high energy efficiency of Rohde & Schwarz transmitters that reduces operating costs. Their compact design and high power density save rack space. R&S THU9 transmitters offer such a wide range of possible configurations that they can fulfill almost any requirement. They are future ready as they can be upgraded at any time. The operating concept of the transmitters is based on many years of user experience.
About Rohde & Schwarz
The Rohde & Schwarz electronics group is a leading supplier of solutions in the fields of test and measurement, broadcasting, secure communications, and radiomonitoring and radiolocation. Founded 80 years ago, this independent global company has an extensive sales network and is present in more than 70 countries. It has around 9300 employees and achieved a net revenue of EUR 1.9 billion (USD 2.5 billion) in fiscal year 2012/2013 (July 2012 through June 2013). The company is headquartered in Munich, Germany.

Norm Sacuta needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 73 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems
Don't be shocked by the title! Scientists need snazzy logos too...
A logo is required for a project studying geologic basins in Saskatchewan, Canada. Specifically, the project is looking at fluids in the basin (underground), particularly brines (salty water) and petroleum. We are seeking to discover how petroleum was generated underground and where it migrated over geologic time.
Mainly earth scientists involved in research and in oil exploration companies. Obviously, there will be a public presence for the logo on printed material and, possibly, web pages and public displays.
We must be clear: We do not want the very scientific name for this project (Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems) used in the logo.
The logo should present a project identifier that can stand alone WITHOUT THE PROJECT NAME.
Do not use an oil derrick in the logo.
The logo should represent in some manner geologic strata. Googling this term should be helpful if you are looking for examples of geologic strata. Do not be overly concerned about representing oil or water in the basin.
Please include the following files in the final deliverable:
o Print file format – .ai
o Web file format – .jpg and layered .psd
o Other high definition formats you feel would be useful
What to avoid:
Feel free to contact us for more information

What are eBooks?
eBooks are digital texts that can be read on computers, smartphones, eReaders and other electronic devices, and they offer a number of advantages over physical books. For example, you'd need a fleet of luggage to haul a hundred paper books around with you, whether they're hardcovers or paperbacks. The digital variants of those books can fit onto one thin, lightweight and easy-to-carry eBook reader or smartphone. Most eBook readers also include handy features like a dictionary, so you can tap an unfamiliar word and instantly look up the definition. eReaders with illuminated screens can be read in low light, and some eReaders are also water-resistant, making them a great choice for beachside reading or for children. If you have trouble with small text, most eBook software allows you to change font sizes and types for a more comfortable reading experience.

It's no longer being kept under wraps by an embargo by Microsoft; the secrets of the loyal members of the Doritocracy have been spilled thanks to insiders and the truth-seekers of NeoGaf. With the truth bombs dropped and the information now available for gamers, the question becomes: are you still going to buy an Xbox One?
It's no longer a debate. There are no longer any arguments to be had about it. In the same way that we know Peyton Manning owns on Donovan McNabb and the Red Sox mopped up the league with the Tigers, the PlayStation 4 now technically, spec-wise, feature-wise and software-wise owns up on the Xbox One.
The GDDR5 shared VRAM and streamlined designed process courtesy of Master Wizard Cerny gives the PS4 an obvious technological edge over the Xbox One, and while many people debated and denied it, it turns out that the actual proof is in the pudding and the facts speak volume in favor of the PS4.
Now I know some people would like to debate whether or not the Xbox One has the same features as the PS4, but can the Xbox One do native 1080p in Call of Duty: Ghosts like the PS4 and Wii U? Nope.
Can you play awesome space-ninjas saving the galaxy on the Xbox One the way you can on the PS4 with Warframe? Nope.
Can you play your Xbox One out of the box in offline mode without a day-one patch like the Wii U or PS4? Nope.
Can you even login to your Xbox One without the OS hanging up and locking up like Brett Favre's knees on the field? Well, let's refer to the hands-on OS footage of the Xbox One's dashboard...
Just in case... eight minutes later can you still login? Nope.
So basically, one has to ask: what's the benefit of the Xbox One? Well, if you get it for the exclusive games you can relish in the entertainment provided by the Xbox 720p. If you get it for watching TV on your TV, then you should be in good hands with all the subscriptions on top of subscriptions. Besides, Americans love over-paying for sub-par quality and getting lousy goods at marked up prices... just look at Apple and the iPhone 5C.
The real highlight of the Xbox 720p/One is that the entertainment device has a really awesome controller that has been universally praised for being the one saving grace for the $500 console. Now so long as you don't mind paying half-a-grand for a cool controller then I guess it's not too bad a choice.
However, if you want high-end graphics for your games you probably do better going with the Wii U since it legitimately has all the popular 1080p 60fps games without downscaling or downgrading like on the Xbox One. I mean, can the Xbox One hang with the quality of the Wii U and its 2014 software line-up? Nope.
So, for those of you sticking with the green brand, how does it feel knowing that you're spending $500 not only coming in behind the technological curve but also coming in behind the relative output power of the Wii U and PS4 on the gaming front? Does the fact that the Wii U and PS4 seem to show a greater prevalence of graphics prowess deter you from your decision to keep with your Xbox One pre-order or is brand loyalty a virtue that runs strong and thick through your veins?

Linux and Apple: Which Is the Lemon, Which Is the Lemonade?
Aug 23, 2012 5:00 AM PT
When life gives you lemons, everyone knows you should make lemonade, as the old saying goes.
But what if life gives you Linux on a Retina MacBook Pro?
That, too, has been shockingly referred to as a "lemon" in recent days, but the solution there isn't so clear.
"If you are planning to buy one of the new Apple MacBook Pro notebooks with a Retina Display for use under Linux, hold off on your purchase," warned Phoronix's Michael Larabel in a review last week.
'Linux Is a Lemon'
"Running the Retina MacBook Pro with Linux isn't a trouble-free experience, and after using even the latest development code and jumping through various hoops, Linux on the latest Apple hardware is still less than an ideal experience," he added.
Larabel's conclusion? "Linux Is a Lemon on the Retina MacBook Pro."
Now, Linux fans aren't exactly unaccustomed to hearing criticisms hurled at our favorite operating system. But when Apple hardware is involved, well, let's just say it's hard to take lying down.
'That Isn't Their Business Plan'
"Au contraire," shot back blogger Bob_Robertson on LXer, for example. "Rather, it is the hardware which is the lemon, when trying to run an exemplary OS such as Linux.
"I'm almost surprised, actually," Bob_Robertson added. "Considering that Apple is a hardware company, why not make it easy for people to run other software? It just means more hardware sales to those who happen not to like the Apple software."
Then again, "that isn't their business plan Bob," countered montezuma. "They run an interconnected web of overpriced hardware and software. Making one dependent on the other increases revenues because you cannot have one without the other.
"If they just sold you hardware to run Linux then they couldn't charge you an exorbitant price nor cram OS X down your throat," montezuma added. "It all makes sense in a perverted Jobsian way."
'Other Products Have Better Features'
And again: "The bottom line is, there are way too many suckers who are keeping Apple filthy rich," concluded Fettoosh.
"Apple periodically comes up with a new gigs, or steals a good idea from some else to release a product before anyone else," Fettoosh added. "With its marketing resources and the help of it worshipers, it makes a killing, even though other products have better features, properties and resources."
Down at the Linux blogosphere's Mealy Apple Cafe, Linux Girl got an earful.
'Boo! to Apple'
"Apple is a lemon for all IT and so is Nvidia, with its anal-retentive drivers not working for Linux," blogger Robert Pogson told LinuxInsider.
"At least 2D worked for Phoronix, which is good enough for most uses of PCs and users got to see all those wonderful pixels," Pogson added.
"In the good old days, when Nvidia's drivers did not work for GNU/Linux, I used the good old Vesa driver and got by," he recalled. "These days Nvidia even messes that up. Boo! to Apple for using Nvidia's junk."
'A Waste of Time'
Indeed, "why would anyone buy a 'retina' Macbook Pro to run Linux?" wondered Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor.
"Apple products don't follow industry standards," Lim explained. "Coding Linux to work on them is a waste of time."
For those who want a high-resolution display on a laptop, "it would really be better to get a unit designed for Windows with a 1080p display," Lim suggested.
'Tens of Thousands of Drivers'
"This has been SOP in Linux for ages: Device comes out, device doesn't work," Slashdot blogger hairyfeet opined. "By the time device DOES work, it has been out of the retail channel for a year or more, only to be replaced with a device that ... doesn't work. Lather, rinse, repeat."
The problem, hairyfeet added, "is that the entire repo system and having the devs responsible for drivers was fine ... in 1994. Back then you had maybe 100 packages and maybe half that many drivers.
"Today you are talking billions of lines of code, thousands of packages and tens of thousands of drivers," he explained. "If you put Apple and MSFT together with all their cash, they still couldn't pull that level of effort off with any QA or QC to speak of; you expect volunteers to do better? Please."
So, "it'll work in a year or two, when the devs get around to it," hairyfeet predicted. "Expecting Linux to support something completely new with a much higher screen res? This early? Not gonna happen."
'Linux Will Have to Be Ready'
Consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack took a more measured view.
"There are bound to be growing pains when using Linux on resolutions that are much higher than whatever it has been run on previously -- give the developers a bit of time to adapt," Mack began.
"One thing to keep in mind, though, is that these new high-res displays are lower power than the existing displays, so I doubt it will be long before they become standard," Mack pointed out. "At that point, Linux and Microsoft will have to be ready for it."
'It Will Take a Little Time'
The bottom line is that "hardware support in Linux has strong and weak areas," noted Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien. "The strong point is that once we can get drivers, we keep them, so your five-year-old printer will still work."
With Windows, on the other hand, "hardware just a few years old will stop working when a new version of Windows comes out because the manufacturer isn't interested in writing drivers for the new version of the OS when it can force you to buy a new product just to get something that works," he explained.
However, "the weak area for Linux is brand-new hardware can take time to get drivers because the manufacturers will not work with the community, so everything has to be reverse-engineered, which takes time," O'Brien concluded. "This is what we are seeing with these new Macbooks with the Retina display. The community will get this done if there is demand for it, but it will take a little time."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel on Tuesday night played out what has become the all-too-frequent, gut-wrenching ritual of freeing jailed Palestinian Arab terrorists "with blood on their hands."
These are men who have directly participated in the brutal murder of Israeli men, women and children. These are men who just a few short years ago Israel vowed it would never release.
As the government's willingness to stick to its former convictions has waned, efforts by the public to keep these killers behind bars have increased.
Up until the very minute that the 26 Palestinian prisoners were loosed late Tuesday night, Israelis were demonstrating and petitioning the Supreme Court against what they saw as a terrible mistake by their leaders.
Leading the charge, as usual, were the family members of the victims whose lives were taken by the unrepentant terrorists now feeling freedom's warm embrace.
"It makes no sense to release murderers who came in a premeditated manner to kill our people," Ortal Temam, whose father was killed by one of the terrorists nearly 30 years ago, told the Supreme Court judges. "We have lost our moral compass."
"We have now crossed every red line when it comes to freeing convicted murderers," added Meir Indor, head of the Almagor Terror Victims Association.
Speaking to Arutz Sheva, Prof. Avi Diskin of Jerusalem's Hebrew University said the only reason Israel goes through with this insanity is to please its American allies.
"It is true that we are extremely dependent on [the Americas], and that in order to placate them we free terrorists," said Diskin, "but this is a process [freeing convicted terrorists] they would never undertake in their own country."
Meanwhile in the de facto Palestinian capital of Ramallah, the release was predictably marked by joyous street celebrations. For the Palestinians, the freeing of those who have purposefully murdered Jewish men, women and children is a great victory over the hated "Zionists."
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas again declared that he would never conclude a final status peace agreement with Israel that did not include the release of every last Palestinian prisoner, regardless of his crime.

Review: Porsche Cayman S 2014
Being a sports car kinda guy, I was excited to review the new Cayman S. I've always loved Porsches for their performance, history and heritage of racing. The Cayman S has been around since 2006, got a facelift on 2010, and now the all new Cayman S is here for 2014.
They wanted to enhance its ride, cornering capabilities, fuel efficiency, power and the fun factor of the earlier Cayman. Well my God they have done just that!

Mayor Don Wesely today proclaimed October 24, 2001 as United Nations Day in Lincoln. The United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA), in cooperation with other organizations, has declared global health as its theme for this year's commemorations. The Mayor appointed Bruce Dart, Director of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD),as the Chair for United Nations Day in Lincoln.
"The U.N. Millennium Declaration established goals of reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS and other diseases and reducing maternal and child mortality," said Mayor Wesely. "These are the kinds of issues our Health Department is working on every day in our community."
"Whether a community looks at physical, mental or environmental health, there are always links between global health issues and local health concerns," said Dart. Some examples:
Dart said the recent outbreak of cryptosporidious is an example of an infectious disease threat in our community. Since August 24, when the first cases of the "crypto" were reported, 157 cases of the gastrointestinal illness have been identified.

Congress Passes Bill Ending Airport Delays
Congress passes a bill to ease travel delays caused by the sequester cuts to the FAA that have impacted travel at the nations busiest airports. Aaron Zitner discusses on Lunch Break. Photo: AP Images.

... I ... the House of Representatives voted on until the Senate passed late last night to ease the air traffic delays but it's getting a snack on the floor ... welcome to lunch break I'm Kelsey Havre here with deatails is WSJ's News Editor Aaron Zitner and I understand is this happening right now thanks so much for joining us ... that's right folks old enough for another two or three minutes or to have the results berries ... to tell us exactly what they're voting on and and what's going on as a lot of people especially fit in fine over the past couple of days have experienced the leaves ... are trying to stop that how's that going ... well that's right this comes back to the sequester which was in the news ... oh what the end of February beginning of March these are the across the board ... cuts to all federal agencies that start to take place that ... as part of a fight between ... Democrats and Republicans in Congress over a bunch of broader ... budgeting issues ... so these cuts start to take place and now think that the FAA in the FAA to deal with these require us ... our last week started to furlough ... air traffic controllers ... once they get that delays in starting a ripple through the air traffic system and Congress started to hear about it so Congress is now trying to figure out ... what kind of action they could or should take ... to reverse these furloughs of air traffic controllers ... and he's the delays in the air traffic stats ... and Aaron this is the son of a political football because there's been some argument that in fact the FAA did have a LaVette more discretion ... and they said they did in determining how these cuts would be implemented and that that her baby son of one of the public to feel little paints you maybe feel to place blame for the sequester cuts on how with that playing into what's happening on the floor and as BOE rate now ... well that's right that and that's it The out the heart of what is going wrong here and that ... the house the Senate passed ... its relief last night ... the house is voting now ... because of a procedural reason they need two thirds vote ... next week Congress is in recess in a lot of members of left town ... city two-thirds of some unknown ... number of members were still in town to vote on this thing in the fight is this ... Democrats want to ... eliminate the entire sequester fill ... in the make up the money that was cut ... and um ... give relief to all kinds of federal agencies they say ... look ... homeless people need money that was caught AIDS patients the money that was cut ... had starter parents the money that was cut why are we getting relief to people who are wealthy enough to afford air travel without taking care of everybody ... on Republicans and many Democrats are saying no ... we have targeted problem let's give a targeted relief and worry about the ... other agencies late ... so what is that some of the solutions of their coming up with two perhaps resolve these issues in the near term to get the delay is ... taking care ... well the people who want a targeted approach that just speaks to allowing the FAA ... to bring back more air traffic controllers and take them on furlough ... is it's a it's a matter of simple as allowing the FAA ... the legal authority to move money internally ... on Monday caps so they would take money from some of the airport construction accounts and who wouldn't with staffing kept ...

Mr Coffee...
Far too many trolls posting comments as AC. If your comment is on point and has any validity, why post as AC?
Oh... I get it. So you can rant and slam others while hiding.
1k cd's hmm.... an estimate for a cd case + plus cd is around 2 oz. do the math - you get about 125lbs.
Hard to run from the po po carying that much weight.
TO quote from your source:
The high cost of developing drugs shouldnÆt be a badge of honor for drug firms; thereÆs no reason it has to be this expensive. The outlay doesnÆt Łjustify the high cost of prescription drugs--just because something was expensive to create doesnÆt make it good. On the other hand, even high-cost drugs are only a small factor in rising health costs. Medicines are just easy to scapegoat because their prices are easy to track. We can all only hope that new technologies and a better ŁunŁderŁstandŁing of biology will turn things around.
One main point that we are missing here is that the $300 million spent to develop the drug is the smaller part of the budget. R & D costs are only about 1/3 of the total budget. The other 2/3 is spent on advertising the drug to consumers.
If the $300 million is just for development, then you can be sure another $600 million will have been spent on advertising.
Why cannot the entire budget be spent on the R&D of the drug? At least make sure the majority of money is spent on R&D. This would decrease the costs of medications for consumers and increase the knowledge base for the drug companies.
I went the the Daily News site to comment on the original story. It required me to register to comment. Ok, i thought, how hard could this be...
Well, the link on the original page to register took me to another Daily News page with a banner ad for evony. No registration form. I thought, that is odd, lets try this again. Same result. I tried the link in the header to register, now we are cooking!
No, I have to setup a secret question, secret answer, username ( not email ), zip code, country, gender and year of birth - all required in addition to email, first and last name. Plus I am solicited for info on my industry, job title and income?
Or I can link my social network accounts to their site.
Right. The columnist being clueless about technology is a mere reflection of the clueless registration of the Daily News.
All that just so I can leave a comment?
Linsanity, Linsane, etc... hmmm
You would think the Lindsey Lohan would have had these trademarked by now....
Just not Linlicious....please for the love of god... nooooooooo!
Of course, the government is here to help. Trust them, for they would never ever abuse power, right?
Lets just make all laws broad enough to be applied in almost any situation. Who needs to be presumed innocent until proven guilty?
(And - Archie? Really? Cranky old guy showing his age.)
I would think you, AC, of all people would oppose SOPA/PIPA.
Once these bills pass and become law, ICE will start seizing web sites at an incredible rate, likely starting with Techdirt!
When Mike is no longer on the web - what will you do with your time?
Maybe just sit there and mock round things for not having corners?
Holy cow, what kind of zoo do you have in your world?
Monkeys mating with penguins? Really?
Now for the Duh-du-joir - Anyone who starts an argument by saying "( insert topic here ) is all ( insert adjectives )" as in "It's [Techdirt] all monopoly FUD" has just lost.
Nothing is "all" one thing.
I take exception to the "Pirated movie = No Value" phrase. I have seen many movies in my lifetime via various delivery methods: movie theaters, school class rooms, streaming video, rental stores and kiosks, and yes - "pirated" movies.
Just because I have seen a movie via any of these methods does not mean I will never see it again. Nor does it mean I will never buy a ticket or pay for a video game or associated merchandise.
When I see a good movie, or sometimes even a really really bad one, of course I will want to watch it more than one time.
I have seen movies that were "pirated", and then gone to see it on the big screen. Yes, actually buying a ticket to a movie that I would otherwise never see. I have also bought the movie on dvd or blu-ray when it was available.
Its not as clear cut as you would have it. Not all people pirate movies. Not all people who do pirate never set foot inside a movie theater or video store.
TD does not foster debate. Etc... ad naseum.....
Must be tough to have to sit there and be forced to read TD every day...
The constant use by Apple of the term "double-tap" evokes negative stereotypes of professional assassins - so called "Mafia Hit Men".
The entire Italian American community should rise up and demand that Apple stop using this racist term. Perhaps Johnny Cochran can file a class action lawsuit against Apple?
Also -
Isn't Al Gore gonna be pissed?
Al did invent the whole interweb thingy in the first place...
On second thought - he might like having his name on all of it:
This will give a whole new meaning to the BSoD, or "Blue Screen of Death"....
So, AC - For you, listening to music or watching a movie == having a cavity or needing car tow service?
What kind of music and movies do you watch?

The Spanish Golden Age army had been forged from almost seven centuries of fighting with Muslim forces in what was called the Reconquista. This long term conflict resulted in the reunification of Spain under Christian rule and the end of the Moors in Spain.
From the site:
The military history of the XVI and XVII centuries has his importance with the "military revolution" from the middle age small armies to the huge Napoleonic army of the XVIII century. Technical progress of the portable firearms and tactical knowledge had reduced the importance of the heavy medieval cavalry, introduced the importance of the artillery in the battlefield and positioned the infantry as the main corps in the army.
The Spanish Tercios were the new infantry unit of the Kings of Spain which combined the firepower of the harquebus (later the musket) with the pikes. The Tercios would form the elite forces of the Spanish monarchy during 200 years. Contrary to others troops they fought only for one master, the King of Spain.

Hey guy's looking for some help. I currently own a 1987 black 442 with 39k original miles. It's a all original garage queen, the way I like em. The car has never been repainted and original paint and decals are still fresh with no sun fade or cracking. The front and rear bumper stripes on this car had a few bumps and scrapes through out the years and was the only eye sore on the car. I removed them and replaced them with the Pheonix Graphix decals. They looked and matched great in the garage but the minute I pulled the car out in the sun light there replacement decals become bright gold? almost a yellowish tint?? It made me sick looking at it. My question is besides finding a set of OEM bumper stripes does anybody have any other idea's what I can do to make a match in color? Any other decal companies that match better? I'm all ears guys?
I attached a photo, you can clearly see the mismatch in color.

Through a collaborative effort by Boswyck Farms, EcoStation:NY, Bushwick Farms, and four Brooklyn high schools, a neglected athletic field has been transformed into a gorgeous food-producing farm, greenhouse, and fun outdoor classroom. Called the Bushwick Campus Farm & Greenhouse, the lot is a 3,000 sq. ft. growing space that teaches students about childhood hunger, obesity, and local food issues.
The farm began last year with a $5000 Sodexo School Engagement Grant from YouthService America. Last fall, the students built a 40′ x 12′, energy-efficient, low-cost greenhouse, made with spare materials repurposed from an existing project. The growing space is located on the Bushwick Campus, which includes the Academy of Urban Planning (AUP), Bushwick School for Social Justice, the Academy for Environmental Leadership, and the Brooklyn School for Math and Research.
"The goal of the recently-founded Bushwick Campus Farm is to connect the dots between the food system, economics, health, the environment, social justice, and sustainable agricultural practices," say the farm leaders. "For us, it's more than just a farm. It's an outdoor classroom that supports youth empowerment. It's a model of community engagement and source of nourishment. It's an economic alternative to our modern food system."
The greenhouse uses traditional raised beds, as well as a soil-less hydroponic growing system that allows the farm to grow more food. As Bushwick is one of NYC's "food deserts," the farm's produce is sold at the Bushwick Farmer's Market to ensure that it goes directly to the local community, providing fresh, nutritious vegetables to local families affected by food insecurity.
Students work to help maintain the garden, which gives them hands-on experience that teaches them about the food system, agriculture, and even economics, as they are also involved in the distribution. Teachers create curriculum specifically for the outdoor classroom, giving students a unique learning opportunity.
Since the farm's inception last spring, it's grown to become a vibrant, depended-upon community organization that affects many more people than just the schools' students. A successful $15,000 Kickstarter campaign raised enough money to help fund the greenhouse and keep it running. It was the largest grassroots campaign that EcoStation had ever taken on. "While we deeply appreciate the support we receive from foundations and government sources," they write, "the grassroots community support demonstrated in our hour of need was truly heartwarming, and we look forward to the challenges of 2012 with renewed gusto and determination."

sitehatchery needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 14 designs submitted by 4 freelance designers.
BBQ Catering
steelhead_bbq_co_.com ---- remove the underlines
A "Steelhead" is a fish. Though fish has nothing to do with this company, it's part of the brand.
However, they grill beef, chicken, or anything except for fish.
The catering/grilling is for weddings, parties and other events.
Mostly BBQ for outdoor weddings and events.
It needs to have a rugged outdoor feel. Though there is a big fish on the current site, I don't want the site to be "fishy". It needs to instead part of the brand - part of the rugged outdoorsy feel.
I'm thinking rugged, outdoor, ranch-feel. Yet it needs to be something that would be appealing to a bride looking for the perfect outdoor meal. As soon as you look at it, it needs to be obvious by the design that it's about BBQ grilling for events, but that it's not about fish - that's just part of the brand.

The Bengals have had several key players sidelined at various points this summer by injuries, with wide receiver A.J. Green's bruised knee starting things off at an early training camp practice.
Green returned to practice last week, but didn't play in the team's second preseason game. It looks like he'll take that next step on Saturday when the Bengals travel to Dallas to face the Cowboys.
"At some point you will see A.J. Green. He may be beside me in warmups. I think he's making the trip," Lewis said, via the Bengals website. "It will be good to at least play a little bit and it will be fun for him to play. He wants to play. He's ready to play and we'll go from there."
Green won't be playing much, however. Lewis said he's not a subscriber to the theory that a team's starters have to play deep into the third preseason game of the year — "It's way different than it used to be," he explained — and Green's not a player worth pushing one snap beyond what's necessary given his importance to the team's offensive scheme.
The status of other players, like tackle Andrew Whitworth and defensive end Carlos Dunlap, is less certain.

Helmets: Not the "same old thing" anymore
I did find a New York Times article concerning Xenith Helmets. However, their site is all Flash driven. The site has been linked, if you're interested. I think I've observed their helmets in the NFL and NCAA but they seem few and far between.
This is the helmet that I consider to be the "basic" football helmet that we're all come to know so well.Riddell markets it to the NFL, College and High School teams. It features an exclusive Polycarbonate shell. It has an inflatable liner with two outside inflation points: back-neck-side and crown. Tried and True.
Introduced in 2002, the Riddell Revolution was the first major football helmet innovation in 25 years. Since that time, more than half a million youth, high school, college and pro players have made the switch. Today, research shows that players wearing the Riddell Revolution are 31% less likely to suffer a concussion when compared to traditional football helmets. For athletes who had never suffered a previous concussion, wearing the Riddell Revolution decreased their relative risk of concussion by 41%. It's considered to be "Top of the line" for NFL, College and High School. It contains (standard) Z-Pads, extended Tru-Curve shell and Isolater Faceguard System (it can be upgraded to inflatable Z-pads).
- Exclusive Polycarbonate shell.
- Inflatable Back/Neck/Side liner.
- Six vent holes
Revolution IQ
Based on the Revolution (see above) the Revolution IQ contains Concussion Reduction Technology.
- deal Fit Liner System with TruCurve back and front pads.>
- Inflatable back and crown pads.
- Standard Z-Pads (can be upgraded to inflatable Z-Pads).
- It has a Quick Release Face Guard System.>
- Exclusive Polycarbonate Shell.
- Six vent holes.
Revolution Speed
Designed for performance with Revolution Technology built-in. The 'Revo' Speed comes with a new shell design, and a comfortable anti-microbial over liner. It features a new face mask system designed from the ground up to optimize sightlines. Attaching the cage is Riddell's exclusive Quick Release Face Guard System for rapid and easy access to the player.
- Revolution Concussion Reduction Technology.
- Aggressive Revo Speed shell profile.
- Inflatable back/neck/side liner and crown liner.
- Standard with Inflatable S-pads.
- Removable moisture wicking, antibacterial overliner.
- Oversized vent holes.
Revolution IQ H.I.T.S.
I thought the following was really cool. I'd love to see the data: For the first time in history, every player can now monitor the number and severity of impacts received during game and practices, thanks to Riddell's patented Head Impact Telemetry System (HITS). On-board electronics record every impact, allowing players to upload and evaluate each occurrence on their home computers. 'HITS' also provides the guidance necessary to understand and address a suspect impact if it is detected. MX Encoder: MX Encoders are sensors built into every HITS helmet to automatically record impacts.
- Available already installed in a standard Riddell Revolution IQ helmet (see above).
- Patented MX Encoder fits in the stock helmet and records the location, magnitude, duration and direction of up to 100 impacts (patented).
- Includes Riddell's Red Zone Software for charting data.
- Includes 2 MX Encoder battery packs and battery charging station.
- MX Encoder can be removed for cleaning.
- Riddell HITS Desktop Antenna connects to any desktop or laptop computer with a USB port and is suitable for use with multiple HITS-equipped helmets.
Considering the amount of heat related injuries (and some unfortunate deaths), this is promising technology, too: The H.O.T. (Heat Observation Technology) System is an early warning detection system for heat stroke and other heat related injuries. The system uses a sensor placed inside a player's football helmet to monitor the player's body temperature. That data is wirelessly transmitted to a PDA on the sideline where it can be monitored in real-time by a certified athletic trainer or other sideline personnel. When a player's temperature spikes and doesn't come back down, an audible and visual alert is sounded, with the intention of getting that player off the field before a serious, perhaps fatal, injury occurs.
- Sensor is the size of a dime and weighs less than an ounce.
- Sensor will fit inside any football helmet.
- Proprietary PDA can monitor hundreds of athletes within signal range.
- Wireless range is 300 yards.
- Up to 1000 athletes can be monitored by one PDA.
- Sensor is weather proof.
- Alert temperature can be customized for each player.
The Schutt ION 4D is unlike any helmet that's ever been designed before. The styling of the shell includes the Schutt Energy Wedge faceguard attachment system. The faceguard is integrated right into the shell and is stronger and more durable than classic faceguards. The ION 4D also features TPU cushioning eliminating any break-in period. The Schutt ION 4D comes with a two-piece SUREFIT inflatable air liner system. It's made from an anti-microbial material to resist the growth of mold, mildew, fungus and other bacteria. Energy Wedge: Exclusive to the Schutt ION 4D, it acts as a shock absorber for the helmet, absorbing up to 15% more force from frontal impacts to the faceguard. The Schutt ION 4D features a wide panoramic view. Chin straps can be attached to the Schutt ION 4D in a variety of manners, including Schutt Short 'N Long or 4-Point High. Schutt recommends, however, mounting the chin strap through the ION 4D Energy Wedge faceguard, as this gives sideline-to-sideline field of vision and also eliminates a high contact area on the helmet shell and prolongs helmet life.
The Schutt AiR XP is a traditional shell helmet with that familiar, spherical shape. It contains a unique combination of tradition with state-of-the technology. It has a two-piece SUREFIT inflatable air liner system treated with an anti-microbial to resist the growth of mold, mildew, fungus and other bacteria. Additionally, it has six large ventilation holes in the crown maximize air flow.
DNA Pro+
First introduced in 2003, it provides better impact absorption (compared to traditional foam padding), better heat management and better hygienics. It's highly resistant to mold, mildew, fungus and bacteria, while providing a barrier against MRSA and staph concerns. It has a two-piece SUREFIT inflatable air liner system treated with an anti-microbial to resist the growth of mold, mildew, fungus and other bacteria. Dart-shaped large ventilation holes in the crown maximize air flow.
AiR Advantage
I consider this to be Schutt's version of Riddell's VSR4. Compare the pictures. The give away (in identification) is the slot (Schutt) behind the circular, raised ear hole. Riddell's helmet does not have this. Additionally, the Schutt has vent holes in the helmet crown. The Air Advantage is 12% lighter than the Pro-Air II, but still maintains the same durability. This helmet features a unique air liner system, which distributes the force of an impact then immediately returns to its original shape. That same liner system makes it easy to get a custom fit for each player. Component parts of this helmet are interchangeable. Large ventilation holes on the crown allow air to circulate in the helmet. The Air Advantage also features a third chinstrap snap location – for players who don't fit or don't like the standard setup. Single inflatable air liner is designed for optimum fit (color coded for easier identification of sizes). The liner is treated with an anti-microbial agent to resist the growth of mold, mildew, fungus and other bacteria. Six large ventilation holes in the crown maximize air flow.

In November, Californians will vote on Proposition 37, an initiative to label genetically modified (GM) foods. According to a new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll, Californians favor GMO labeling by more than a 2-to-1 margin. However, the anti-labeling lobby has put a lot of muscle (by which we mean cash) into fighting the bill. Companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi and the "Big Six" agrichemical companies have raised more than $32.5 million to defeat the measure.
This week Prop. 37 got an inspiring – and surprising – endorsement from Troy Roush, a conventional farmer featured in Food Inc. Roush grows GM corn and soybeans, but strongly believes that labels benefit the farmer as well as the consumer. By his reasoning, if consumers demand healthy food, farmers will grow more of it. Troy's view is beautiful in its simplicity: it all comes down to supply, demand and transparency.
"It's not a big deal," he says. The industry would like voters to believe that the cost and the confusion labels would wreak havoc on food prices, but more than 50 countries already label GMOs.
Farmers are often pitted against food safety advocates and environmentalists, but it may just be that farmers and eaters have more in common than they do with the Big Six. Troy's plea in the clip illustrates that link, and why labels will only strengthen it: "People have got to start demanding good and wholesome food of us, and we'll deliver, I promise you. We're very ingenious people. We'll deliver."
Label GMO Foods? Our Right2Know
Have you ever seen a label that lists genetically engineered (GE) soy as an ingredient on these packages? No? That's because the label doesn't exist. Some folks are out to change that.

Company To Inspect Texas Coaster Where Woman Fell
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — A German roller coaster maker is sending officials to a North Texas amusement park to inspect a ride after a woman fell to her death.
The Dallas Morning News reports that Gerstlauer Amusement Rides in Munsterhausen, Germany, will investigate what led to Friday's accident at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington.
Witnesses said the woman expressed concern about the coaster's safety bar not completely engaging as the ride was starting.
But a project manager for Gerstlauer, Tobias Lindnar, says the company has never had problems with car safety bars on any of the roughly 50 roller coasters it's built around the world over the past 30 years.
Park spokeswoman Sharon Parker confirmed the victim died while riding the 14-story Texas Giant roller coaster, but she wouldn't give specifics.

How cute! An easy, easy Christmas craft to make for Christmas. This little snowman is made from a plain white sock. We used a kids sock and he is perfect for a Table decoration all during Winter.
Items needed:
- White sock
- Polyester stuffing
- Red Yarn
- Scissors
- Felt or foam (for eyes/ buttons)
- Orange pipe cleaner/ felt/ or orange paper (Nose)
- Craft glue
- Put a small amount of stuffing in the sock and tie off to shape the head.
- Add a larger amount of stuffing for the next Snowman section and also tie off. Bottom section will, of course, require the most stuffing.
- After bottom is stuffed, you can just poke the end of the sock into the stuffing, as it will hold in place. You can cut a round, white cardboard base and glue snowman to base if you want a more secure bottom.
- Cut about 6 pieces of yarn, 12 inch lengths, and tie around Snowman neck for his scarf.
- Cut pieces of felt or foam for eyes and buttons and glue in place.
- Use whatever you have to make a nose. We took a small section of pipe cleaner and bent in half and glued this in place. A scrap of felt or even a piece of paper, colored orange will work also.

The Ring of Knowledge is a unique and beautiful glass sculpture located in the main floor of the Central Library and is a centerpiece in the library's display and programming area. Commissioned by the Grosvenor Society in 1993 and designed by Howard Ben Tre', the sculpture consists of five, glass benches arranged in a circle. Each of the five components represents an individual element or creative energy found in nature: fire, water, void, ground and wind.
The display area features visually appealing, entertaining and educational exhibits that are changed three to four times a year and highlight Library services, collections, special events, observances and/or community-related activities. Books on the display's theme are available for circulation. The Ring of Knowledge also hosts events throughout the year, such as author visits, panel discussions, book talks and children's programming. Check out the Central Library's current events.
