ComScore: Android surges to 21% of U.S. smartphone market
Google's Android operating system continues to upend the U.S. smartphone segment, growing 6.5 percentage points during the third quarter to capture 21.4 percent of nationwide smartphone market share, according to new data issued by digital measurement firm comScore. Research In Motion's (NASDAQ:RIMM) BlackBerry OS remains the overall U.S. leader at 37.3 percent, down from 40.1 percent in Q2--Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS is unchanged at 24.3 percent, while Microsoft's Windows Phone slipped 2.8 percentage points to 10.0 percent. Palm rounds out the top five at 4.2 percent, down 0.5 percentage points quarter-over-quarter. comScore adds that 58.7 million U.S. subscribers now own smartphones, up 15 percent from the second quarter.
The comScore report follows days after market research firm NPD Group said devices running Android operating system accounted for 44 percent of all smartphones sold in the U.S. during the third quarter. Android sales increased 11 percentage points over the second quarter, NPD adds--iOS held relatively steady, rising one percentage point quarter-over-quarter to 23 percent of U.S. smartphone sales, while BlackBerry plunged to 22 percent, down from 28 percent in Q2. NPD Group also notes that when OS unit share for Q3 2010 is compared to the third quarter of 2009, BlackBerry share plummeted by 53 percent, while iOS share declined 21 percent.

We all know how things went down when James Franco and Anne Hathaway hosted the Oscars. Finally, James is talking about his relationship with Anne, and all the rumors.
"It was a really hard time after the Oscars," Franco told radio host Howard Stern. "She wasn't mad at me, I don't think … she didn't say she was mad at me for what happened. The critics were so nasty. We haven't talked in a while… Anne and I made up, by the way," he quickly said.
Stern then asked if Franco, seen here yesterday (March 25, 2013) in front of the Ed Sullivan Theater, knew why so many people, both in and out of Hollywood, hated Hathaway.
"I'm happy to revisit this, but you're going to have to take the lead," Franco said. "If you're going to talk about it, you're going to have to give your opinions … She does not want me talking about this, but okay."
"Everyone sort of hates Anne Hathaway, and I've explained that I do too, and I don't even know why sometimes," Stern said. "She just so affected and actress-y that even when she wins an award she's out of breath and then she has the standard joke that sounds like it's been written for her. And it all seems so scripted and acted."
"She comes off like the goody two-shoes actress and it's just fun to sort of hate her. Hate is a strong word, but I dislike her, even though she is a great actress. Is that accurate?" Stern asked.
"I'm not an expert on – I guess they're called 'Hatha-haters' – but I think that's what maybe triggers it," Franco said.
Well played Franco.
Now for some James Franco being James Franco. Watch James and Ashley Benson lip-sync to Selena Gomez's "Love You Like a Love Song."

We have served a fair share of negative news about Guild Wars 2, so we are always eager to mention something good about the game (which by most accounts is a pretty awesome game experience – bannings and hacking schemes aside) when it happens. The good news is that a beta of the popular online RPG is coming to Mac OS X today. The Guild Wars 2 beta will be connected to the game's main live servers, which will allow Mac and Windows computers to play together, according to publisher NCSoft. Also the Mac Beta is free to anyone who bought the PC version of the game. To use it, players will have to activate their game code and use the Guild Wars 2 account management site to gain access to the beta client.
The beta was made possible through ArenaNet's partnership with TransGaming, a company known for its great work on porting PC games to the Mac.
Anyone who purchases Guild Wars 2 today and going forward will be able to play it on both PC and Mac and the game will be a universal purchase even after the Mac beta closes so players only need to buy the game once to use it on either platform. Good deal.

Great views being in the rain shadow of the other mountains. At night we hiked to the top (about .5 mile from the upper parking lot.) we could see the whole Milky Way horizon to horizon, Victoria all lit up, and deep into the mountains.
Glorious on a clear night! Get there early though if you want to camp! Goes quick!

BELO HORIZONTE Brazil (Reuters) - Argentine players laughed off criticism of their supposed defensive weakness on Thursday and vowed there would be no repeat of their 2010 World Cup quarter-final thrashing by Germany.
Having waltzed through the early rounds of the South Africa World Cup, then manager Diego Maradona's team were humiliated 4-0 by the Germans in a game that exposed what many see as the frailty behind arguably the world's greatest forward line.
"We know what happened, it's in the past. We won't repeat that," centre back Ezequiel Garay said after a lively training session in front of hundreds of reporters in Belo Horizonte, where Argentina are based for the tournament.
"Obviously, we have a very offensive team, but we know our rivals are strong, so we will be defending well also and doing the dirty work," added Garay, who plays for Benfica and hails from national team captain Lionel Messi's home town of Rosario.
Messi, 27, under enormous pressure to add a World Cup trophy to his otherwise impeccable haul of honours, looked relaxed and happy during training. He did, though, balloon one shot high over the bar to the dismay of a few fans who had sneaked into Atletico Mineiro's training ground.
"He'll handle the expectations," said team mate Lucas Biglia. "We just have to help him feel comfortable and happy so that on the pitch he can make the difference."
With their attacking "Fab Four" of Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero and Angel Di Maria, Argentina are among the favourites to win the World Cup, and should have little trouble topping Group F which they open against Bosnia on Sunday.
"We're an attack-minded team, but that doesn't mean we're weak in defence. Remember the first attack always starts in defence," Biglia said, answering repeated questions about Argentina's ability to avoid a repeat of the Germany result in 2010 when they come up against the best teams in Brazil.
Given their long rivalry with Brazil for South American supremacy, the Argentines said they were surprised at the warmth of the welcome they have had from fans, including thousands who turned up to an open practice session on Wednesday.
Messi was even fooled by a look-a-like for former Brazil forward Ronaldinho, who ran on to the pitch to see him.
"Leo gave him a hug, he took it with the affection and fun it was meant," Biglia told the news conference.
Argentina have reached the last eight at three of the last four tournaments, going out to Germany in both 2006 and 2010. They have not made the semi-finals since Italy 1990 when they went on to the final and were beaten by the Germans.
Their other Group F rivals are Iran and Nigeria.
"We mustn't be impatient in our first game against Bosnia," said Garay, who has recovered from a thigh injury.
"They have good, tall players. We need to avoid corners and set pieces. But we are Argentina and we have to go out to win. We fear no one."

Fashion and homewares designer Julien Macdonald shares a few of his favourite things
Hot on the heels of London Fashion Week 2012, world-famous British designer Julien Macdonald tells ACHICA Living about a few of his favourite things. In this exclusive, he talks design, homewares, holiday destination and how he loves to spend the weekend...
Julien Macdonald OBE studied Fashion Knitwear at The University of Brighton and received his MA at Royal College of Art, London. Soon after he was made Head Designer of Knitwear for Chanel and worked for iconic designer label Lagerfield. In 2001, Julien was named British Fashion Designer of the Year and appointed as successor to Alexander McQueen as Creative Director of the renowned French fashion house Givenchy. In 2006, he was awarded an Order of the British Empire for his services to the fashion industry. Over the years, Julien has built his own brand and his designs have been worn by the likes of Beyonce, Kylie, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cheryl Cole, and sold in prestigious boutiques worldwide.
'My favourite design of all time...
The magnificent Chrysler building in Manhattan– I love the Art Deco architecture, the height, the shape and the colour.
My favourite personal design...
One of my all time favourite designs of mine is the smash glass embroidered, long-sleeved gown from my Autumn/Winter 2009 collection. It was worn by supermodel Heidi Klum to Elton John's AIDS Foundation's Oscar Viewing Party in 2011. Heidi looked absolutely divine in the gown - she is an amazing, modern woman who epitomises the Julien Macdonald Woman. The gown was super technical - dip-dyed to achieve the dramatic degrade effect with couture level details and embroidery. It is an exquisite and unique piece of work that I am very proud of.
[Above: The gown in question, sans Heidi Klum]
My favourite homeware...
I am very interested in interior decoration in general. My two absolute favourite interior designers have to be Kelly Hoppen for her clean, chic and modern glamour, and the American designer Kelly Wearstler for her sense of opulence, glamour and fun.
I like Venetian glass and antiques. I've always loved Venice – it is such a romantic and beautiful city. I particularly love antique Murano glasses for their vibrant colours and artisanal construction.
[Image above: Marie Ganton]
My favourite project I've worked on...
I have been working with Graham & Brown on a new collection of wallpapers, inspired by fashion, tropical florals, Moroccan inspired motifs and butterflies. I love working with Graham & Brown – I always loved textiles and decorative art, and designing something special for the home feels like a natural and very interesting progression from my fashion design.

My favourite way to get inspired...
Living in London, there are so many wonderful galleries and exhibitions to go to. I went to the David Hockney exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts recently, which was fantastic. I like going to the Tate Modern and the Saatchi Gallery when I have the time too.
I love travelling as well. It is the best way to get inspired. Some of the most memorable destinations were Las Vegas (it was absolutely crazy!) and Morocco where textiles are absolutely incredible.
[Above: Moroccan textiles]
My favourite way to spend the weekend...
Waking up early and going to the vintage market on Portobello Road – I love looking for vintage finds and antique fabrics. Then I would go to my favourite restaurant for lunch, E&O - it has the most delicious Thai fusion food. At night, I like watching a great film or going to theatre. When I was a young boy, I wanted to be a performer so I love going to the Royal Opera House or going to see the latest production from the English National Ballet. The last one I went to see was Strictly Gershwin, which was great fun.
[Above: English National Ballet. Image: Londonist]
My favourite holiday destination...
I like to completely relax and take in the beautiful scenery when I'm on holiday. My work is very demanding so it's very important for me to rest and recharge and get inspired for my next collection. Some of my favourite destinations are: Miami for all around sun, St Petersburg and the Hermitage for cultural experience, and Capri for its sheer beauty and the blue grotto.
[Above: St Petersburg]
My favourite food and tipple...
I love spicy food! I love travelling to India and tasting all the wonderful and exotic spices they have there. When it comes to drinks, I like a dirty martini or an apple martini, but I enjoy any good bottle of red wine. My favourite is Rioja.'

Several decades ago, who would have believed if someone said that every product, identity or device will have an IP address and communication capability that will link to other devices and services via the world wide web. Whereas today, you cant imagine a day in your life without the internet.
Rewind your life by a few years and think back to how you stored your data; youll probably see yourself coming out of a cyber cafe with a floppy disc or at best, a CD. Juxtapose this to todays scenario where you are digitally available anywhere, anytime. All this has been possible thanks to the cables, links and protocols networks which reach our homes, around the globe. Ethernet has become the most dominant of these networking protocols enabling everything whether it is aiding businesses to function and communicate across locations, doctors to collaborate around the world, or universities to share research data; Ethernet provides the underlying high speed backbone connections that power the internet.
Robert Metcalfs sketch of the original Ethernet concept in an internal memo in 1973 may not receive the fanfare of a Benjamin Franklin kite, or an Isaac Newton apple, but there is no denying that Ethernet has changed our lives completely. From the way we push data, to the way we serve it on our devices or save information over cloud, Ethernet has completely changed the way we communicate. What started as a simple solution to connect a small network of computers together; is now the networking layer and protocol of choice for both local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs).
Today, the most popular networking technology connects the far corners of the world, bringing us all closer than ever before. In fact, it is actively moving societies to a new level of inter-connectedness. The global internet population now represents 2.1 billion people, and with every website browsed, status shared, and photo uploaded; we leave a digital stream that continually surges. And these numbers dont seem to cease their upward traction.
Due to the consistent interoperability and scalability enabled by Ethernet, the internet has produced unique approaches to businesses and lifestyles such as international e-commerce, information sharing and community operations. Today, the e-commerce market is ever expanding and is at $30 billion in 2013 according to Gartner predictions. Consumers spend nearly $272,070 every minute on online shopping. Digital experience of this stature has redefined lifestyles; people around

One of the theoretical benefits from working with Node.js is the possibility to share the same scripts between clients and the server. That would make it possible to degrade the same functionality to the server if the client does not support javascript.
However, the Node.js
require() method works on it's own. In the script you load, you can add stuff to
this or
exports that will later be available in the object that fetched the script:
var stuff = require('stuff');
In stuff.js:
this.show = function() {
return 'here is my stuff';
So, when re-using this script on the client, the
.show() method will be added to the
window scope. That is not what we want here, instead we would like to add it to a custom namespace.
My only solution so far is something like (in stuff.js):
var ns = typeof exports == 'undefined' ? (function() {
return window['stuff'] = {};
})() : exports;
ns.show = function() {
return 'here is my stuff';
delete ns; // remove ns from the global scope
This works quite well since I can call
stuff.show() on the server and client. But it looks quirky. I tried searching for solutions but node.js is still very new (even to me) so there are few reliable resources. Does anyone have a better idea on how to solve this?

FBI seeks public's help in identifying 'Dynomite Bandit' in Phoenix-area robberies
Authorities are offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction of the man, whom they're calling the Dynomite Bandit. The FBI said they dubbed him "Dynomite" because the explosive devices he used were fake.
All serial robbers are given a moniker so they stand out with the public, the FBI said.
"The devices in all three are very realistic, so much so that employees think it's an explosive bomb," Mark Hoffman, an FBI supervisory special agent, said Friday. "The devices were all inert. There were no explosive parts."
The Dynomite Bandit's latest caper took place Wednesday at a Chase Bank in Scottsdale. The others occurred Dec. 21 at a Wells Fargo Bank in Anthem and July 3 at a Chase Bank in Peoria, according to the FBI.
Hoffman said the Dynomite Bandit entered the banks after hours by cutting a hole in the roof. He then placed a fake bomb inside the buildings and left. The next day, when the banks opened for business, he called and demanded money, threatening to blow up the building if his demands were not met, the FBI said.
The man instructed the tellers to drop off the money at a location nearby, the FBI said.
"He is very calm and collected," Hoffman said. "When he calls, he is very instructional."
Hoffman said the Dynomite Bandit successfully took an undisclosed amount of money from the bank in Peoria.
Employees from the Anthem bank evacuated the building instead of listening to the robber's demands, Hoffman said.
In the Scottsdale incident, employees preparing for business found the fake bomb taped to the underside of an ATM in the bank's vestibule, the FBI said.
As the tellers evacuated the building, golf-course workers confronted a man who was on the course near the bank. The man fled and left behind an all-terrain vehicle, which Scottsdale police are processing for evidence, Hoffman said.
All three banks are stand-alone institutions near a desert wash, which allowed the robber to conceal himself as he observed the bank, the FBI said.
Hoffman said it's believed that the Dynomite Bandit spent a week or more conducting extensive surveillance of each bank, locating exit doors and studying when employees arrive and leave.
Hoffman said the Dynomite Bandit may have a military or law-enforcement background but added, "We are not ruling out anyone."
The FBI said there is a "strong possibility" that the latest string of bank robberies is related to a series of robberies dubbed "Thou Shalt Not Steal," although the robbers' descriptions are different.
Hoffman said the Dynomite Bandit is White, in his 30s, 6 feet tall and weighing about 200 pounds. He may be working with an accomplice. The agent said the man may be armed.
Anyone with information on the Dynomite Bandit is asked to call the FBI at 623-466-1366 or go to bandittrackerarizona.com.

After many years of stagnation, the nuclear power industry is showing signs of life due to higher prices for competing forms of energy, increased concern over the impact that fossil fuels have on the environment and new safer design technologies. These new designs might assuage concern that many have over the safety of this power source.
Nuclear power has many advantages over other forms of energy. It produces zero carbon emissions, and despite well-publicized accidents at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, it is relatively safe.
IN PICTURES: Eight Ways To Survive A Market Downturn
New Nuclear Developments
Several utilities have filed Combined Construction and Operating Licenses (COL) applications to construct new nuclear power generation facilities. Progress Energy (NYSE: PGN), a large utility headquartered in Raleigh, N.C., filed for one for a greenfield facility in Florida.
Safer Design
Shaw Group (NYSE:SHAW) is heavily involved in the nuclear power industry. The company is working with a new safer design called the AP1000. The AP1000 uses 50% less valves, and 80% less pipe than competing designs. The design also uses only one-fifth the amount of concrete and rebar as competing designs. This reduces both capital costs and maintenance costs for the owners.
Shaw also does maintenance work on existing reactors that are already built. The company recently signed a contract with Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE) to provide maintenance services at its nuclear plant in Fulton, MO. Shaw is a leader and provides some type of maintenance services to 40 of the 102 plants in the U.S.
Pure Plays
Investors might one day have a pure play nuclear power company to trade. Entergy (NYSE:ETR) is the second largest producer of nuclear power in the U.S., and is planning on spinning off its non-utility nuclear assets into an entity called Enexus. These assets include six units generating 5000 megawatts of power, and one managed plant generating 800 megawatts. The spinoff process is now bogged down in obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals from the states where the plants are located.
China is ahead of many of the other emerging economies on using this power source to reduce its insatiable demand for oil and other fossil fuels. China has four new nuclear plants under construction with the first coming on line in 2013.
Bottom Line
Nuclear power holds the hope of reducing the world's dependence on dirty fossil fuels for providing energy. Although popular culture is haunted by the supposed danger of this power source, the country must come to the realization that we must choose between the lesser of many evils when providing power for the future.

Walker wins debut as Mariners top Astros 7-1
HOUSTON Top prospect Taijuan Walker did not allow an earned run over five innings in his major league debut and Dustin Ackley had a career-high four hits with four RBIs to help the Seattle Mariners beat the Houston Astros 7-1 on Friday night.
The 21-year-old right-hander, rated the fifth-best prospect in baseball, yielded two hits and one run with two strikeouts and a walk. If the 6-foot-4 Walker (1-0) had any rookie nerves, it certainly didn't show as he retired the first eight batters he faced.
The Astros were up by one in the fourth before Ackley tied it with an RBI single. Seattle led by two in the fifth before a single by Ackley made it 5-1. A run-scoring single in the ninth gave Ackley four RBIs to tie a career best.
Houston starter Brad Peacock (3-5) was tagged for seven hits and five runs in 4 2-3 innings.
Abraham Almonte, also playing his first major league game, added two RBIs to help the Mariners win their second straight following a six-game slide.
Seattle relievers Carter Capps, Charlie Furbush and Oliver Perez combined to pitch four scoreless innings after Walker left the game.
Walker relied heavily on a fastball that was routinely clocked at 95 mph, but reached as high as 97 mph. He also used a cutter, curveball and slider to keep the Astros off balance.
A first-round draft pick in 2010, Walker joined the Mariners after going 4-7 with a 2.46 ERA in 14 starts at Double-A and 5-3 with a 3.61 ERA over 11 starts in Triple-A. He was dominant in his last two outings, going 2-0 with a sparkling 0.82 ERA.
Walker became the youngest starting pitcher to make his debut for the Mariners since Felix Hernandez's first game in 2005 at 19. The Mariners offset Walker's inexperience by starting catcher Henry Blanco, who turned 42 on Thursday. Manager Eric Wedge thought Blanco's presence would help make Walker feel more comfortable in his first game.
He was rolling before a tough third inning for Seattle's defense. Houston's first hit came with two outs on a double by Jonathan Villar that bounced off the glove of left fielder Raul Ibanez.
An error by first baseman Justin Smoak allowed Robbie Grossman to reach safely as Villar scored to give Houston a 1-0 lead.
L.J. Hoes singled on a grounder that deflected off Kyle Seager's glove at third base. But Walker didn't get rattled, and after a short visit to the mound from Blanco, he retired Jose Altuve to limit the damage.
Walker set down six of his last seven batters, with the only baserunner coming on a walk to Brett Wallace with two outs in the fourth.
Walker was helped by some dazzling defense for the last out of the fifth. Ackley sprinted before sliding on his knees to grab a fly ball hit by Grossman near the bullpen in right-center. Walker pumped his fist and smiled before leaving the mound.
Walker's debut came in front of about 40 family members and friends who traveled to Houston from California and Louisiana. Several members of the group, which included his mother, father and nine of his 11 siblings, donned his pinstriped No. 44 jersey from the Double-A Jackson Generals. Walker wore No. 27 on Friday night.
His mother, Nellie Garcia, was emotional as she watched her son pitch. The two shared an embrace shortly before he took the mound.
"I think it was one of the best moments of my life," she said of the hug. "We've had a lot of moments hugging on the field - don't make me cry right now. I think that was the realest moment ever."

Bharti Infratel, a subsidiary of Bharti Airtel, made a dismal debut on the bourses on Friday with the stock listing at more than a 9% discount to the issue price of Rs.220. The stock opened at R200 and slid further to hit the days low of R188.7 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), more than 14% below its issue price. The stock ended the day at R191.2, a discount of a little more than 13% to its issue price. The BSE Sensex was up nearly 0.6% on Friday.
Interestingly, just last week, capital market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) chairman UK Sinha had lashed out at the investment banking community, saying its credibility had taken a hit as retail investors had turned wary of public offers. The regulator said the bankers were not acting in the interests of retail investors, pointing out that the bulk of IPOs were trading below issue price. Sinha also said the regulator might put in place a formula for pricing issues unless the trend reversed. The regulator has initiated a discussion on whether promoters should compensate investors if the price of an IPO falls more than 20% of the issue price within three months of listing or even the stock underperforms benchmark indices the BSE 500 or S&P CNX 500 by 20%.
The general perception was that the issue was already over-priced, which is why the stock listed below the issue price, said a merchant banker, who didnt want to be identified. The issue was also weighed down by a cautious outlook on mobile tower operators, he said. While institutional investors did buy into the issue, there was no unfulfilled appetite, according to market-watchers.
Akhil Gupta, managing director and vice chairman, Bharti Infratel said it was too early to comment on listing price.
Bharti Infratel had allocated 2.8 crore shares to 18 anchor investors at R230 per share raising an amount of R651 crore. The anchor investors included Alliance Bernstein, Battery March, Clough Capital, Columbia Wagner, Morgan Stanley, Route One Capital and Sundaram MF, among others.
The dismal debut comes in the wake of decent listing gains by two other firms earlier this week. CARE Ratings, the second largest rating agency in India, had listed at a 23% premium over its issue price of R750, to close at R922.55 on the National Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

De Niro housekeeper charged with theftA New York housekeeper who allegedly stole from her rich and famous clients, including Robert De Niro and his wife, has been charged with theft.
Lucyna Turyk-Wawrynowicz is accused of stealing from at least three homes she worked in the past four years, and faces a litany of charges including larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, forgery and coercion.
Prosecutors have refused to reveal details of Lucyna celebrity 'victims', but according to reports a search of the defendant's home on Monday night (20.06.05) turned up property belonging to DeNiro's wife, Grace Hightower.
Lucyna is alleged to have stolen several items belonging to Hightower, from the couple's Manhattan apartment, including diamond earrings, worth $95,000, and designer shoes with the earliest theft said to have taken place in 2001.
The 35-year-old housekeeper was arraigned on Tuesday (21.06.05) and is due back in court on Friday (21.06.05).

Mario Paint Composer
Those of us from the Super NES generation will remember Mario Paint like it was yesterday. It was such a strange game! Not only did you swat gnats and colour in Yoshi but you could also compose music, all with the click of a bizarre SNES mouse!
I'm not sure about you but I lost a decent chunk of my life with that Mario Paint composer section though. You may have already seen our Mario Paint Songs section ,well now you can download the Mario paint composer and create your own tunes!
It took me a long time to download it from the original UnFun Games link so I have provided a mirror here:
The above download is for the windows/PC version but I also stumbled across a Mac version which seems to have disappeared from the UnFun website. I haven't been able to test this personally but I am assured it works.

Fast Helicopters and Flying HumVees
According to a company statement, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne are going to model the Transformer engine on their EnduroCORE, a diesel engine that generates a "high power-to-weight ratio comparable to gas turbines." It'll need to. Darpa's specifications for the flying Humvee require the Transformer to stay in the air carrying up to 1000 pounds for up to 250 miles without refueling. Diesel's energy efficiency apparently satisfied Darpa's suggestion that the Transformer be at least somewhat green. _DangerRoomMeanwhile, Brian Wang brings us up to date on the speed duel between the EurocopterX3 and Sikorsky's X2 supercopter.
The X3 has so far only flown once, in a 35-minute flight that tested its hovering behaviour and Billig says it performed as designed. It won't be going for any high speed attempts until late 2011, but they are initially aiming to bust 400 km/h.
Sikorsky is already well on the way to achieving its speed aim of over 500 km/h. In a test flight in September, the X2 unofficially broke the previous record of 400 km/h, which was set by the Westland Lynx in 1986. The X2 achieved 463 km/h, but due to its propellers, it is unclear if the craft will be recognised in the same category by the FAI, the world's air sports federation based in Lausanne, Switzerland, that oversees aviation records. _BrianWang
Combining land travel with VTOL capability in the same vehicle makes sense for military and expedition-type enterprises. Land travel uses much less fuel, and allows you to take advantage of land-based fuel caches which may not be accessible directly by air. Being able to hop over rivers, canyons, and other obstacles expedites progress toward an objective.
The advantage of a craft that combines the ability to fly, to travel over the surface of water, and to travel over all terrain land surfaces should also be obvious to any would-be Galtist or survivalist.

Hostid is invalid
I have installed GAUSS 13 on RedHat 6.1, but the hostid information for getting my license comes up as "invalid." What is the problem, and how can I get a valid hostid?
1 Answer
In RedHat 6.1, there was a change to the naming convention for network interfaces with a feature called BIOSDEVNAME. Traditionally, network interfaces have been enumerated as eth0, eth1, etc.; RedHat 6.1 uses something different, so the license manager does not recognize the address and cannot display the hostid information.
There are a couple of options for this issue. You can either write a rule to change the device name back to eth so the license manager can recognize your machine's physical address, or you can disable the BIOSDEVNAME feature.
You can write rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to change the device names to anything you wish. Such will take precedence over this physical location naming scheme. Such rules may look like:
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:11:22:33:44:55", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="public"
Alternatively, you can disable this feature by passing "biosdevname=0" on the kernel command line, in which case, behavior will revert to using ethX names.
Red Hat also had some further documentation here on the new BIOSDEV renaming:
Red Hat provides more in depth instructions on how to disable the network device renaming here:
Here is the context of the above link from Red Hat
To disable the consistent network device naming on systems that would normally have it on by default, pass the following option on the boot command line, both during and after installation:
The license manager in GAUSS requires a network device that is named ethX where ethX is the lowest numbered eth device (ex: eth0, or eth1). Using other naming conventions will not allow the license manager to operate properly and will result in further errors. The BIOSDEV will need to be disabled and the naming devices reverted back in order to obtain the hostid information and to have a permanent license issued.

Mumbai, The success of "Kaminey" has catapulted him into the big league, but actor Shahid Kapoor says he sat at home for six months without any work after his box office hit "Vivaah" in 2006.
"The most difficult phase was after 'Vivaah' was a super hit. I was at home for six months without work. I got some 60 film offers but none inspired me," Shahid told choreographer-director Farah Khan on STAR Plus' chat show "Tere Mere Beach Mein".
On the show, the actor spoke of losing his confidence after a spate of failures following his debut "Ishq Vishk".
He even shared how apprehensive and nervous he was when he had begun shooting for "Vivaah", but gained a little confidence after director Sooraj Barjatya gave him a pep talk saying: "There's only one thing that can take you ahead and that's talent and you have that in you!"
"I was unconvinced and gave one shot, then I saw it on the monitor and I said, 'I've given a perfect shot…I know my work.' After that I used to just focus on my work."
The episode featuring Shahid will be aired Saturday at 9 p.m.

No! He's way too young and can't properly digest solids. Infants shouldn't get anything but breastmilk or formula for their first 6 months. They really don't even need solids their entire first year, since their digestive systems are still immature. Any solids before 12 months is little more that practice. When you do start solids, don't do white rice cereal. Nutritionally it's comparable to feeding him table sugar, it's that over-processed. If you do cereal, choose a whole grain version such as brown rice or quinoa mash. Or better yet, start with a non-grain food like sweet potato or avocado. Baby's first foods do not have to include cereal.posted 11/03/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
With my daughter, I was told nothing till 6 months, but with my son (who is 5 weeks), my doctor told us we could try some cereal (I think 1 oz) with 1 or 2 oz of breastmilk that I expressed. I haven't done it yet, but I'm really ready to in hopes that it wil help him sleep better. That's from the doctor.posted 02/08/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
The recommend age for solids is 6 months. 6 weeks is way too young.posted 10/22/2012 by imShadz
No, Your baby can develop allergies if fed anything other than milk too soon. Their not developed enough and can't break things down like we can I think they have to be 6 months before trying to feed them anything else.posted 10/21/2012 by vivian_salinas22

Keeping Your Kid Safe Onlinetoddler-times
The cyberworld is chock-full of scary things. Social networking sites enable our kids to meet people that they never would in the real world–people you'd prefer they not encounter at this age–or ever. Cyberbullying? Happens every day. And sexting? Yup, it's a fact of life.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the internet comes with risks. Of course parents need to be aware of all of the internet bogeymen out there. Just as importantly, they need to talk to their kids about the ways they communicate and socialize online. The FTC wants to help with Net Cetera: Chatting With Kids About Being Online, a useful go-to guide for parents.
Net Cetera covers a wide blanket of material, from how to protect yourself from a hacker to using privacy settings to restrict who can access and post on your child's website. There's a lot of good information, so check it out.
Now this is all useful stuff, but Mom has the most important tools for protecting her kid from internet ghouls with her at all times. Her eyes and ears. Use them.

Two people have been charged with breaking into several homes and a church during the past month.
Beaufort County deputies have charged Patrick Small and Morgan Burbage, both of Bath, with two counts of felony breaking and entering, three counts of larceny after breaking and entering, one count of breaking and entering a place of worship, and one count each of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Deputies say between December 6th and January 5th, they had received reports of the break-ins of homes in the Bayview community, as well as a church on Highway 92 East. Taken was electronics, jewelry, and household items.
The two were arrested Monday and jailed on $100,300 bonds. Deputies say stolen property that was recovered has been returned to the owners.

If I accused the 2001 Independent Redistricting Commission (on which I served) of deliberately creating a working majority of impregnable Republican stronghold districts that would dominate our state Legislature for the next decade, every member of the commission, including our staff and consultants, would vehemently disagree.
If I added that this was done at the urging of the Democrats, just about everyone would disagree. However, using some simple arithmetic, I will show that this is exactly what happened and that it will happen again in 2011, unless the new commission takes a very different approach to "competitiveness."
In 2000, Arizona voters adopted Proposition 106, which took the job of redistricting away from the state Legislature and gave it to a new Independent Redistricting Commission made up of citizen volunteers.
The first Redistricting Commission started its work in 2001 and did not finish until 2009, after seven years of litigation with the Democratic Party over the question of whether the commission had created enough "competitive districts."
Creating competitive districts sounds simple because Arizona has relatively equal numbers of Republican, Democrat and independent voters - about 37 percent Republican, 31 percent Democrat and 32 percent independents.
However, the process is actually very difficult for reasons that start with the Federal Voting Rights Act. The Voting Rights Act requires Arizona to create a number of districts in which minorities have effective voting control or influence.
Because most minority voters are registered Democrats, creating minority districts skews the political balance toward Republicans in the rest of the state.
Numerically, assuming that there are eight minority legislative districts and that the minority districts must contain an average of two registered Democrats for every Republican (the actual ratio in 2001 was 67 to 33), the political balance in the remaining 22 districts will be approximately 42 percent Republican and 26 percent Democrat, a gap that has grown from 6 percent to 16 percent before the commission can start trying to create competitive districts.
The creation of one perfectly competitive district (in which there are the same numbers of Republicans and Democrats) out of the 22 non-minority districts will widen the gap between Republicans and Democrats in the remaining 21 districts by about eight-tenths of a percent.
As each additional competitive district is created, the rate at which this gap increases will become larger because the total number of voters in each district remains the same while the pool from which they are selected is shrinking. By the time seven perfectly competitive districts have been created, the political balance in the remaining 15 districts will be approximately 46 percent Republican to 22 percent Democrat, a gap of about 24 percent.
It is obvious that making some districts more competitive will require others to become less competitive. Since creating very competitive districts and eliminating very uncompetitive districts are different and opposite goals, which one is correct? Proposition 106 provides that "competitive districts should be favored where to do so would create no significant detriment to the other goals." Does this mean that the commission should create more "competitive districts," or "more competitive" districts? Arizona usually doesn't look at legislative history to determine the meaning of ambiguous laws, but it is interesting that voters were told before the 2000 election that Proposition 106 would put a stop to the practice of incumbents creating extremely uncompetitive districts to ensure their own re-election.
Perhaps the right question to ask is, which approach to competitiveness would be better for Arizona? As noted, after creating eight minority districts, the overall political balance in the remainder of our state would be approximately 42 percent Republican and 26 percent Democrat, a difference of 16 percent, with 32 percent independents. If this balance could be maintained, 58 percent of the registered voters in every district would not be Republicans, and candidates from both parties would need to build coalitions that includes independents and crossover voters in order to win the general election. Regardless of which approach is taken, the Redistricting Commission cannot achieve an ideal level of competitiveness because it must also take into consideration other redistricting goals, such as "equal population," "compactness" and "respecting communities of interest."
However, by "doing the math," we can see that, if the 2011 commission takes the same approach to competitiveness as its predecessor, it will perpetuate the status quo for another 10 years. To get a different result, the commission will have to try to even out imbalances between districts rather than intentionally creating some districts that are more competitive than others.
James Huntwork, an attorney from Phoenix and a Republican, has been a member of the five-member Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission.

On the USC Tournament: "As was the case in Florida last week, we can't focus on just one team this weekend. We go to Los Angeles and have to play three good matches. Our job is to take one match at a time. So, right now, our focus is on the North Carolina match.
"By getting into the type of match we got into against Florida, we were able to identify right away what we have to work on. At this point in the season, it's still about us and our side of the net. Our focus is on getting better."
On the Aquafina Invitational Last Week: "Last weekend was an excellent learning experience. We couldn't have asked for a better situation.
"We had a nice opening match against Arkansas State and then we had a battle against Florida. In terms of atmosphere and competitiveness, this was a gut-check type of match. I thought our team stayed aggressive and we didn't back down from Florida. We couldn't have asked for a better match to find out what this team is made of."
She's Back! - Airial Salvo is showing that her freshman campaign was no fluke. After the first two matches of the year, the outside hitter is hitting .280 and averaging an eye-popping 5.29 kills per game. She hasn't been exclusively offensive either. Salvo is also averaging 1.0 aces per game, 3.0 digs and 0.86 blocks. Her kills- and aces-per-game average led all players at the Aquafina Invitational and currently leads the MWC.
Around the Block - Emillie Toone continued to wreak havoc on opposing offenses last weekend. Over the two-match tourney, she averaged 1.86 blocks. Last year, she was the top blocker in the conference and eighth in the nation with 1.64 blocks per game. But, she also was a factor on offense. At the Aquafina Invitational in Gainesville, Fla., last weekend, Toone led all Utes with a .375 hitting percentage and averaged 2.43 kills.
Above the Rest - Emillie Toone and Airial Salvo were named to the Aquafina Invitational all-tournament team last weekend. Salvo averaged 5.29 kills on .280 hitting while Toone led the team with 1.86 blocks and hit a team-high .375.
Diaper Dandy - Freshman Sydney Anderson stepped in at setter last weekend and led the team to a .262 hitting average. She dished out 12.83 assists in playing in six of the seven games. She also had her first career double-double in the loss to No. 5 Florida. She chalked up 56 assists and 14 digs.
Let's Play a Little Longer - Three of Utes' seven games last weekend went to extra points. Utah is now 2-1 in games that go beyond the 30-point plateau. The Utes won their first extra-point affair, topping Arkansas State, 33-31, in the third frame. Utah split extra-point games with No. 5 Florida, winning the second game, 35-33, but losing the third game, 32-30.
An Ace Up the Sleeve - One of the fundamentals Utah worked on in the offseason was serving. And it seems to have worked. The Utes racked up aces at a 2.57 per-game clip last weekend. That number is far better than the 1.33 average the team chalked up in 2005. Currently, Utah's aces-per-game average is the second best in the league.
Checking the Record Book - Shannon Krug continues to climb up Utah's career assist record book. She's ninth with 1,441 assists. Emillie Toone's 261 block assists are nine shy from cracking the all-time top 10 while her 288 total blocks are 16 shy. Connie Dangerfield has 654 digs which is 261 short of 10th all-time.
Potent Notables - Utah is 2-1 in games that go extra points ... the Utes are 0-1 against teams that are mentioned in the CSTV/AVCA top 25 ... the Utes are 1-0 when they hit better than .300 and 0-1 when their hitting lower than that ... the Utes are 1-0 in three-game matches and 0-1 in four-gamers ... Utah is 1-1 in game one, 2-0 in game two, 1-1 in game three and 0-1 in game four.
Scouting the Opponents:
North Carolina - The Tarheels and the Utes will tangle for the first time in program history. UNC enters the weekend sporting a 1-2 record. It bagged a 3-0 win over Idaho but dropped 3-0 decisions to Oklahoma and Arkansas. Leading the way for the Tarheels is Bekah Brinkley (3.11 kills per game), Christine Clark (.235 hitting), Stephanie Jansma (9.22 assists), Brianna Eskola (4.44 digs) and Amy Beaver (1.44 blocks).
USC- USC and Utah are meeting on the court for the seventh time in in the series. USC owns the 4-2 all-time series lead. The Women of Troy are the No. 14 ranked team in the nation. They enter the tournament with a 3-0 slate having beaten North Texas, UTPA and Texas State, all by a 3-0 count. USC is led by Asia Kaczor (4.67 kills per game), Bethany Johansen (.462 hitting), Taylor Carico (10.44 assists), Debora Seilhamer (7.44 digs) and Kelli Tennant (1.29 blocks).
Fresno State - The Bulldogs and Utah meet for the 12th time in program history. FSU owns the 7-4 all-time series lead. In fact, these two rivals haven't met since they were both in the WAC together back in 1998. FSU is 1-3 on the season, having beaten Pacific and losing to Santa Barbara, Kansas State and Santa Clara. Leading the Bulldogs are Alisha McKee (4.00 kills per game), Lacey Gera (.245 hitting and 6.31 assists), Cheryl Selenak (5.15 digs) and Lexi Watson (1.08 blocks).
Last Week - The Utes went 1-1 at the Aquafina Invitational in Gainesville, Fla., as they topped Arkansas State in the season-opener, 3-0, and dropped a 3-1 decision to No. 5 Florida.
Utah swept Arkansas State (30-7, 30-25, 33-31) as it out-hit the Indians, .380-.077.
Airial Salvo's 18 kills led the way while both Shannon Krug and Syndney Anderson ran the offense. Krug had 18 assists while Anderson finished with 21.
Utah held the edge in digs, 36-35, while the Indians had 6 team blocks to Utah's 5. Emillie Toone's five blocks led the way while Connie Dangerfield and Salvo each had eight digs.
Utah fought tooth and nail against Florida sending two of the four games into extra points. Florida won, 30-25, 33-35, 32-30 and 30-26.
The Gators out-hit the Utes, .232-.199. Salvo led the way, tying her career high with 19 kills. She had a double-double with 13 digs as well.
Utah held the edge at the net, 16-13, while Florida out-dug Utah, 84-79. Leading the Utes' defense was Toone with her eight total blocks. Dangerfield led the way with 19 digs.

Destination Jam Sessions
Jun 26, 2012
Every night, from 10:30 PM, the Rochester Plaza State Street Bar and Grill is jammed for the XRIJF Nightly Jam Sessions. As the festival's official hotel for the past 11 years, this is where the artists stay so since jazz never sleeps, the food on the grill is sizzling, and so is the music!!
Also for the 11th straight year, the incomparable Bob Sneider (hardest working guitarist in western, NY!) leads our festival nightly jam session. Join Bob, Phil Flanigan and Mike Melito as they burn through all the classics. You never know who will show up!
Here are Bob's jam blogs for the first four nights. 5 nights to go!
Friday June 22
Since the tireless Anna Reguero / Jazz fest blogoholic is not here...I'll try to give some spotty reporting from the jams. Set one house trio -- Alex Cot� (drums) and Jeff Campbell(bass) and yours truly Bob Sneider on Guitar. Notable performers from day 1: Mike Cottone (trumpet), Jonas Kulhammer(sax), Joe LaBarbera(drums), Pat LaBarbera(sax), John Nugent(sax), Neils Swainson(bass), Jonathan Richards(bassist with Joe LaBarbera), Rosie Flores(vocals), Dylan Howe(drummer from Get the Blessing)....probably forgetting a few! Some really great performances from Eastman students/recent grads: Marc Schwartz,Ben Bishop, Wil McKenna, Ethan Helm,Adrian Justin DiMatteo, Gabe Condon, Allister Duncan....I'm probably leaving a few out...Oliver, Candice...will bring list home next time!
Saturday June 23
Wild night for sure. Had some great players up there tonight especially Pat LaBarbera/Jonas Kulhammer/John Nugent/ Bill Cunliffe / Neil Swainson sitting in for "Blues Up and Down"....whoa. Lots of great young players home from college for the summer. Eastman School of Music Professor - Sylvie Beaudette had a lovely version of Corcovad. Aaron? Saxophonist from Esperanza Spalding's band was hanging out for a while..as did drummer - Linden Rochelle. Matthias Eich's band played with me. Pianist - Danny Grissett, Jonathan Richards - bass, Joe Labarbera - drums, Justin Brown - drums all played. Nelsen Campbell and Will Zimmer -- trombones wailed on "Sugar". Bumped into friends: Stefan Harris and Wayne Escoffery. Mike Cottone and Herb Smith -- trumpets went upstairs and crazy on Caravan. Bye -- off to bed!"
Sunday June 24
Lots of great playing on Sunday. John Nugent jumped up and played a few tunes...even a rare ballad 'My One and Only Love'. Stefon Harris played some mean blues on the piano (no vibes @ the Plaza) with Henry Cole(Drums), Luques Curtis(bass), Marc Schwartz (sax) and yours truly (guitar). It was a walk down memory lane -- Stefan and I last played twenty years ago! Excellent performances by the Jazz FM91 Youth All Stars -- so young but crazy talented. Three saxophones: Wils McKenna, Ethan Helm and Jonathan Parker had a tour de force on "It's you or no one". Other notable sit-ins were a contingent of Scottish musicians who closed the night out. Graham Stephen - guitar...and some other great guys. The surprise of the night was VINCE ABBRACCIANTE accordion. First accordionist in 11 years of the jam session. He was all over that thing. The sound of guitar trio + accordion brought me back to some great recordings of Art Van Damme with either Joe Pass or Jimmy Raney...neat sound. Gabe Condon, Mike Conrad and Alexa Tarantino from Eastman were superb as well. I probably left out a few...I'll check the sheet tomorrow!"
Monday June 25
Another amazing night of music making at the Rochester Plaza. We had the young guns of the Eastman Youth Jazz orchestra, a bunch of Eastman students....some Eastman grads -- notably Mike Cottone, Jesse Breheney and Nick Brust. Dawn Thomson (guitar and voice) joined her husband John Nugent and the Trio for "Corocvado". We had a bunch of other vocalists Al Foreman, Vanes...sa Mangione, and a gentleman....I've forgotten his name. After Mike Cottone and Alexa Tarrantino tore it up on "Confirmation", I brought up Alistair Duncan and Gabe Condon for a tune and much to everyone's delight Nicholas Payton joined us on trumpet. That gentleman can play the trumpet -- UNREAL. Clarity, tone, inventive ideas -- inspiring.

Why dont you read the Parliamentary Standing Committee (PSC) report on gas pricing, says a senior BJP leader in response to the query as to why some of his party colleagues are casting AAP-style allegations about the gas price hike, and saying the Rangarajan formula-based price hikes need to be thoroughly reviewed. Though the BJP is pro-development, he says, it is not going to sit around and watch a scam in the making. Indeed, in response to Prashant Bhushans petition, even the Supreme Court has asked the government to explain the Rangarajan formula as well as the other Bhushan chestnut, that if Reliance Industries Ltds (RIL) partner Niko sells gas in Bangladesh at $2.34 per mmBtu, why does RIL want 3.5 times that.
The PSC makes points that, on their face, seem reasonable. So, it would like the domestic costs of production to be factored into the Rangarajan formula, for prices to be rupee-denominated instead of in dollars, for Russian gas export prices ($8.77 per mmBtu) to be included in the formula instead of Japanese import prices ($14-16). Presumably, this is what the government did since it took over a year to notify the Rangarajan formula, but given that doubts still persistin even the likely ruling partyit is worth re-examining the PSC points.
At the outset (see graphic), there is no one price of gas, not just globally, but even in IndiaIndian prices varied from $2.52 to $17.44 per mmBtu in FY12. So, if someone turns around and says that, at the likely Rangarajan price of $8.2, RIL is getting 3.5 times the Bangladesh price, it can turn around and say that India imports gas at more than double what it is to be paid. RIL is not the biggest beneficiary of the hike; the government gets the most by way of royalties, taxes and cesses, and it is ONGC after that since it produces 5 times what RIL does. But lets ignore this inconvenient truth since it takes the sting out of the allegations.
Lets take the PSCs point about domestic costs first. RIL quotes a report by consulting firm IHS CERA as saying over 85% of Indias natural gas reserves are viable only at prices upwards of $10 per mmBtu. But forget RIL, ONGC has said, according to a government press release, it needs at least $7 to make gas exploration viablea recent press report says the PSU wants $13 to

Two MAJOR TV Personalities Calling It Quits!
by Daily Dish
posted Mar 31 2014 5:28AM
They just continue to keep getting funnier! Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel went on Inside The Actors Studio with their co-stars before the series finale of How I Met Your Mother airs tonight. There's a part of the show where students get to ask questions, and one student asked, "Since
Les Mis
is coming back to Broadway, I thought maybe Jason and Neil might give us a little bit of the 'Confrontation.'" Without even thinking twice, this happened immediately…
The two first performed this number from the hit musical back in 2006. They added a bit of comedy to it and it was so funny!
Cameron Diaz is starting up again. Last week she made us all think she was a bit crazy by saying that everyone has been cheated on at some point in their lives. This week. Cameron Diaz is giving us a lesson on love and saying that it is gender-blind. According to her, says she it's "natural" for women to be attracted to members of the same sex and that all women have been sexually attracted to another woman at some point. Cameron Diaz says It's natural to have a connectivity and an appreciation for the beauty of other women." Agree or disagree?
Party on Brad Pitt! He proved this weekend that being a father of six can't slow him down! That's because Brad Pitt partied with Kings of Leon band members until 2 in the morning after seeing them in concert! Onlookers said that he was really friendly at the after party and having a good time! Who says dads can't have fun?!
This could just be the best thing that's ever happened on
Dancing With the Stars
! I'm being told that they are planning some kind of Full House reunion for tonight's show!
People are saying that
there are definitely going to be a lot of tears and some really inspiring stories! Candace Cameron Bure is going to be talking about her days on
Full House
and the cast is going to be in the audience to support her! ABC had no comment. I want to see the entire cast together!
Selena Gomez got served over the weekend, and it had to do with one of the lawsuits pending against Justin Bieber! Selena Gomez was served in connection with paparazzo who is suing Justin Bieber for allegedly attacking him in a parking lot. Now we're finding out what questions she's going to have to answer! Selena Gomez will be questioned about anything she observed before, during, and after the incident. She'll also be asked to answer questions about her relationship with Justin Bieber, if she's noticed any violence in him AND if she ever witnessed any use of him taking drugs. This might just get ugly!
Huge news! Josh Elliot is leaving Good Morning America to join NBC Sports! Josh Elliot will be replaced by Amy Robach. ABC News president Ben Sherwood has confirmed that he'd been in contract talks with Josh Elliott for several months and even though they worked hard to close a significant gap between their offer and Josh Elliot's expectations, Josh Elliot felt he deserved a different deal and so he chose a new path. So, HE WANTED MORE MONEY AND THEY WOULDN'T BUDGE. So your new anchor desk will be Amy Robach, Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos! Josh Elliott is the second person to leave show in a few months. Meterologist Sam Champion left in December! Think GMA will be the same?
Another person calling it quits? Chelsea Handler! She'll end her popular E! talk show
Chelsea Lately
and leave the network when her contract expires at the end of the year! Chelsea Handler's manager, Irving Azoff, says: "Chelsea intends to leave when her contract expires. She hired me to figure out her life after E! We have at least seven suitors and many ideas." Among those ideas… radio and a new talk show on a different network! Chelesa Handler, who is the only female late-night host on television has always made it clear that she wasn't on the same page with E! In fact, she's said that E! is a sad place to live, they don't know what they're doing and they have no ideas! BURN! The talk show has been on for eight years! Hopefully we haven't seen the last of her!

Kiko - I would have thoguht so too. Although if you read the article about 888 racing going to the NGTC motor, they also allude to increased costs. I guess once the transition is made it will become cheaper, ditching all their current motors in order to use the new ones is probably where the expense lies.

Walker started third grade today. Before school this morning, I asked about walking into school with him:
Me: "Walker, do you want me to walk into your class with you?"
Walker: "No mom, I'm in third grade now, geez."
Me: "Well, I didn't think you wanted me to, but…
Walker: "Then why did you ask mom?"
On the way to school, I asked him if he was excited to start the school year. He responded with a disappointing "No way."
I said, "Oh Walker, I wish you liked school – you do like school, remember? At least you used to."
He replied, "Mom, I just wish we could have 500 more days of summer. That would be awesome."

Khloe Kardashian Posts More Pics, Vows To Smile Following Lamars Arrest
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
Remember that time you walked into class in middle school and suddenly got the feeling everyone had just been talking about you? We all have at least one of those stories. Unfortunately for Khloe Kardashian, her story is happening right now, and her middle school classroom is populated by every single person in the world who cares about celebrity gossip and/ or her basketball playing husband Lamar Odom. Under that intense spotlight, many people would likely run into a corner and hide or lash out. Khloe, however, has other plans.
The starlet took to her Twitter account just hours after her husbands driving under the influence of something arrest and offered up a few photographs as well as some sage advice.
There are a lot of celebrities in Hollywood who misbehave, engage in stupid and/ or dangerous activities or in some way bring the salacious headlines upon themselves, but Khloe is most definitely not one of those celebrities. Shes always come across like a genuinely likeable person who has a pretty good head on her shoulders. Now and again, however, were dropped into the middle of someone elses problems, and we just need to respond accordingly.
Rumors have swirled for almost a week that she might file for divorce, but thus far, shes stuck by her husband. In fact, word out of the Kardashian camp is mom Kris Jenner might be the one who is pushing her to bail, but Khloes only priority right now is trying to make sure Lamar is healthy, safe and getting treatment.
The biggest problem with addiction is a person cant truly be helped until he or she actually wants help. Khloe has organized interventions. Shes thrown him out of the house, and shes even reached out to his former teammates. Thus far, nothing has worked. Consequently, all she can keep doing is shooting for a balance between being supportive and taking moments for herself in order to make sure she doesnt go crazy.
Thankfully, she was able to take one of those respites the earlier this week when she hung out with several friends and took the following picture, captured with a wonderful reference to Mean Girls. Heres OMG, you can totally not sit with us

Kremer vs. Kramer
Andrea Kremer, who has been ESPN's Los Angeles-based reporter for the past 17 years, agreed last week to become a sideline reporter for NBC's Sunday Night Football.
A two-time Emmy Award winner, Kremer will join NBC's announcing team of Al Michaels and John Madden.
Kremer is a seasoned reporter — the Los Angeles Times has called her "the best TV interviewer in the business of covering the NFL" — and will do a great job. (Assuming it is possible to do useful sideline reporting, which it probably isn't.)

Jennifer Lopez's derriere is still a talking point
SHE'S been an actress, a singer and a TV judge and been married three times but there's one great constant in Jennifer Lopez's life – her remarkable derriere.
The American Idol judge looked as voluptuous as ever as she arrived at ABC studios to perform on Dancing With The Stars.
Despite reports recently that J-Lo, 42, had married 24-year-old boyfriend Casper Smart in a secret ceremony, she has yet to finally divorce third husband Marc Anthony, 43, from whom she separated last year.
The pair have two children, four-year-old twins Max and Emme. With looks (and a bum) like this, we have a feeling Lopez will find husband number four before too long.

Check out appoLearning.com, because your kids deserve the very best educational apps!
Scrabble has been released for the iPad and it definitely is setting itself up to be the best Scrabble app available. After the release of some great apps, this app is looking to top them all and take back its name. The game offers the same great Scrabble experience that you would expect, but it offers a feature very unique to the iPad.
The game allows you to play using the iPad as board and your iPhones as tile racks. This is an awesome feature because players can sit back and actually hide their pieces. The game only allows for a tile rack when 2 or more players are joined which was disappointing. The game can be played against a computer, locally against another iPad or iPhone, and passing using the same device. The game plays extremely well with a dictionary at hand at all times. Unlike other scrabble games, the board isn't full screen which was disappointing, but the game still was one of the best in the App Store. The Scrabble tile rack is available for free on the iPhone and is definitely one of the best selling points for the game.
Overall, this app is just a well-made game and definitely worth grabbing. Check it out.

After a long summer, many students are probably ready to go back to school to see their friends. What many are not looking forward to is the early morning wake-up. Many kids' sleep schedules are still on summer time, but there are some tips to make the transition into the school year a bit smoother.
Parenting experts suggested to USA Today to allow children to wake up on their own. It's okay to check on them once, but going in their room multiple times lets them know it's okay to lay there just a little longer.
Another tip is to talk with your children about just how much sleep they're getting. Once they see how little it really is, they will want to be in bed earlier.
Right before bed it's best to put away the TV's and computers -- the light from the screens keeps kids awake.
Once you've made it through the week, don't let the weekend ruin your sleep cycle. It's okay to sleep in, but try not to shift more than two hours from your usual wake up time.
The National Sleep Foundation suggests gradually easing into the school sleep schedule about two weeks before the first day of classes. Setting an earlier wake up and bed time each night will ease children back into the cycle.
Avoiding large meals before bedtime can also help kids fall asleep faster, according to the foundation. They also advise no sodas for dinner and that caffeinated drinks should be avoided after noon.
Parents can be an excellent role model for their children's sleep habits. If parents have a set schedule, children will be likely to follow suit.
